featuring a black and red upper with a leather toe. The side panels feature a seemingly black mesh, which are actually laid over a 3M reflective material, which definitely draws attention to the shoe once hit by light. The heel features a green hologram, which is said to represent the eye of a panther, as the shoe is modeled after the cat's paw. The bulky area that forms the midsole represents the claw. Besides being a great looking shoe, the Air Jordan 13 (XIII) is comfortable, as it features Nike's patented Zoom Air insoles. It also features a hidden quick lace system, carbon fibre sheath, holographic eye, and a modified herringbone pattern, which provides great grip and traction. Air Jordan 12 Retro were released on December 22, 2004, and retailed for $150.
