Being a part of Jordan Brand is a special honor that not many get the honor of. The elite club of Jordan athletes, entertainers, and musicians who are on that special roster get their special pick of product, dope events, and even some get their own retro collaboration or signature model. Like we saw at the Super Bowl, Justin Timberlake got his own special iteration of the Jordan 3 and now Carmelo Anthony is getting his own version of the Air Jordan 13. This special retro is a part of the ‘Back To School’ collection that honors the respective alma maters of Jordan family members Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony.
This smooth Retro 13 is the final piece of the ‘Back to School’ collection and some may even say that it’s the best one yet. Donning the colors of Melos high school, Oak Hill Academy, this Jordan pays homage in the perfect fashion. The Oak Hill Academy is known as one of the best high schools for basketball in the entire country with alumni the likes of Anthony, Kevin Durant, Rajon Rondo, and more. Sticking with the theme of the entire pack, this Jordan 13 ushers in a Black, University Red, and University Gold color scheme to match the Warriors of Oak Hill, while opting to add sporty satin and suede details for another premium aesthetic. Like the other two entrants in this pack, its insole sports ‘Class of 2002’ on the right sneaker with Melo’s signature Jordan Brand logo placed on the right. These are perfect for the upcoming fall months.
