How do these run in Sz? Don't come with the true to sz answers please. I normally have to have +0.5 Sz up on the 11s, but most Jordan's run just right for me without having to Sz up. I would appreciate it.

LOL don't come with the true to size answers?? THESE FIT TTS THOUGH hahah. I wear a size 10 and these, as well as all 5's, fit me the best out of all Jordan's for my true size.

I am really liking the new pics that are coming up. This mold makes me feel just fine that I beat my CDP's into the ground. I prefer the 23 on the side, but other than that I will take these ALL DAY!

I've always wanted the closest thing to what Jordan wore so, even as PE's, I adjusted to the "23."

I believe these shoes are TTS. The last 5 run was the last time I got TTS kicks from JB

No it was a picture I got off twitter, but it had the caption, "got these in our store already."  I also thought they looked amazing in that pic and it really got me pumped for these again.  The mold is just straight on point and you said exactly the first thing that I saw in that pic....THE TONGUE!  I loved that old tall tongue on the OG's, which was missing on every retro since 2000's, and to me that was kind of THE feature of these shoes, the big, tall 3M tongue.  My hands are much less tanned, as I am 100% Caucasian

Future D,

You are known and respected on NT, especially in the JB threads. Why even legitimize these comments with a response??

Anyway, lemme see those DLR via iphone pics tomorrow. Peace

Got that call from Meth today, I am sorry folks.

Someone got under my skin, and I reacted without thinking.

My apologizes to the guy and the forum.

I'll take a little break from the site, be back after the weekend.

Thanks Meth.

Has anyone heard of other color ways for the 5 this year? I saw this Hydro 5 retro sandal and wondered if this was going to be one of them.

Overall impression (without trying them on) : The "leather" is identical to the WC IV, kinda hard plastic like. It feels really solid and decently made surprisingly with substantial ankle padding. The shape is ok but does have that banana toe box kinda (sz in the pics are of a 10.5). The box is a flip top and not flimsy. The blue soles are not as blue in person and look more clear. Im actually impressed with them, not thrilled but I've seen worse recently. But anyways heres the crappy iPhone pics. And if you were wondering, my store doesn't get everything in the way of retros but we got 15 pairs of these.
