A black-and-green motif for a Jordan sneaker may not sit well with those used to the black-and-red color of the Chicago Bulls, but it’s always a breath of fresh air especially when that colorway becomes one of the more iconic ones in the famed shoe line.
And that’s just the case for the Air Jordan 13 “Altitude” that is set for a re-release on Dec. 21 at Nike.com and Jordan retailers, as per SoleCollector.com.
The “Altitude” colorway first released in 2005 and is set for a full family size run as Jordan brand returns the shoe to its original state after the 2010 version saw a change on the material used on the side panels.

When it first released in 2005, joining nine other colorways, the “Altitude” 13s had full tumbled leather upper but the 2010 version, according to SneakerNews.com, featured a ballistic mesh.
The “Altitude” 13s has an almost full black upper apart from the subtle Jordan branding on the tongue, heel, and toe box that is in, what Jordan Brand calls, Altitude Green.
Altitude Green also covers the outsole.
Although no Philippine price is yet released, the US release for the adult’s sizes is worth $190, with grade school, preschool, and toddler sizes going for $140, $80, and $60 respectively.
