The metallic 5's were the first Jordans I had ever seen and  also the pair my parents refused to buy me in High School back in '90 because I had just gotten a pair of all black Flight '90's.  Now those things were HEAVY.  Loving that crinkle nylon jacket, I remember seeing that at Foot Locker...

Every time someone says "TTS" I go 1/2 size up.  People don't seem to realize your true size is as measured with a shoe sizer.  If you think Nike/JB sizes match a shoe sizer you're smoking crack.  In the 10-12 range anyway.

Does anyone else think the collar looks a little high?

That toebox looks really close to the Flight Light's that also released that same year.  Sadly, I went with the Flight Light's instead of the VI's as a kid.  

They fit and feel exactly the same as the playoff 8's.  The quality is also exactly the same.  Again, the only thing remastered is the price.   The Bugs' 8's are definitely stiffer than these.

For those that picked these up, how's the sizing?  TTS?  Same as Bugs/Playoffs?

How do these fit compared to the 2013 playoff VIII's?

They run about 1/4 size smaller than the playoffs/obsidians.

These really needed black netting to set them apart from the metallics. Honestly though, who wouldn't prefer the '90 Nike Air treatment on some metallics with legit nubuck.

This has been true of all V releases this year except for the black grapes. They ran smaller than the white grapes and 3m fire reds.

Amen. I prefer the older short cut nubuck with the grey trim as well. The thicker, stiffer collar on the 2011 release is also less comfortable than the 2007 mold. I know, picky.

Definitely anxious to hear more on those 5's.

^^ Nice.  I'll definitely pick up both grapes.  Not going to miss this round of V's after sleeping on the '06 releases.

I didn't get the e-mail either, and I am set up for email.  :-\

For those not wanting to buy both these and the fire reds (black tongue) I can't imagine JB not releasing both this year.  With the metallics out of the way that leaves only 3 og cw's to release in '13.  I'd bet on a black friday release for the other fire reds.
