Not to get too cheesy or anything, but let's face it, the Air Jordan XIII White/Black-Varsity Red color blocking is about as Christmas'd out as you'd want to get on a classic sneaker such as the XIII.  Anything beyond would probably leave the realm of tasteful in my opinion.  As we've been stressing recently, this is the month for Jordan fanatics and they're strategic planning for the litany of release dates just leaves us asking the one question of, "Where can I get more money?"

This particular White/Black-Varsity Red hasn't reappeared since it's debut in 1998.  The main difference however, is that the original sported true red while this retro version will feature varsity red.  Other than that, the upper is still mostly white with varsity red suede marking its territory along the midsole and heel region.  Black hits appear in conjunction with red on the midsole, and on the Jumpman logo that resides on the tongue.  And we can't forget the green hologram near the heel that offers that ever so slight bit of final color contrast.

The Air Jordan XIII White/Black-Varsity Red colorway will be dropping on December 18, 2010 ahead of the Air Jordan XI Retro 'Cool Grey' and the Air Jordan Fusion 4 White/Black-Red 'Laser'.  However, releasing the weekend prior will be the Air Jordan XIII Retro 'Altitude'.  Check with your local Niketown, House of Hoops, other retailers and Nikestore.com!
