Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Fire Red' 2013 Vol: No 23

$$ has nothing to do with if someone likes it or not...

Ive passed on just about every J for a couple years now. Last two I bought was the playoff 13s, and Oly 6s (still not 100% if those are staying :\ ) had nothing to do with $$. JB sucks now days......

but at the same time, you dont troll jordan threads complaining about the quality all day and night. it gets old hearing the complaints nonstop or seeing people put other people down because they purchased this release.

Thank you. Please, sticky this post in its own thread.
 
Jesus you guys argue like women. Go make another thread.


Anyone have pictures of the shoe on foot ? My 2000 retro cracked on me was going to cop these but I hated the blue tint so much ever since the cool grsh release. I've been avoiding anything with the blue sole since then. :/
 
I know right .. people must of changed their mind 
I bet they did when they saw how easily available they were and they would make $0 resale on them. I wish JB would step up quality a little bit and still push a lot out, but it would be hard to do both I guess.

Sounds like there were plenty of these to go around and anyone who put in even a little bit of work was able to cop. I'm not expecting resell prices to be too bad next month when I finally get the opportunity to get a pair for myself.
 
 
Congratulations on everyone who were able to scoop a pair. Relatively easy to cop up here (in the snowy) in Toronto. Copped but copped to trade with someone for Taxi XIIs. Not a fan of THESE Fire Reds..........the red-based Fire Red are my favs out of the 2. Just my 2 cents!
 
21Mercer just sent an pic on Instagram advising they are taking phone orders for the Jordan 5 Retro....posted 5 mins. ago.
 
Lol at you guys praying over your shoes getting shipped, I just walked into my mall and these are decaying on the shelves
 
My one pair had glue marks all over. Some of the red cotton from the inside was getting stuck. My midsoles has a black mark on the red part. Will take pictures tonight.
 
If you guys didnt see the 3M comparison shots a couple pages back, check em out now. Thats just lame how JB dumbs they're products down and for what? They're HUGE and they cant even give us quality that can stack up against a 1999 pair. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. All this aside, I copped. Im a new sneaker head and im not gonna be *****ing about quality and besides, its a classic and I've got no V's. Sounds hypocritical but hey, do what ya do.
 
Anyone get an NDC ship confirmation? My order time was literally 8:01 and mine is still just "in progress".

 Same here, should've went FNL and used my $20 GC. At least would've gotten a tracking number already.

EB shipped my XIII's on Monday after RD and I got them on that Wednesday.

Check pages 112-114, FutureDhughes posted some on feet pics. They look pretty nice, blue tinited sole and all.

I swear, you must have Haterade runnin' through an I.V. drip at all times.

I don't think I've seen a positive comment from you yet. Bashing dudes that copped, now you're trying to go in on dudes asking about shipping confirmation???

Post something worth reading or ****.

Putting two reflective items next to each other and shooting with flash, the more reflective one will take away from the less reflective one, making it look worse depending on the angle.

I've never understood people complaining about such small things. The only time the reflective tongue is even noticed is when you've got headlights pointing at your feet. I mean really, in what situation is the brightness of the 3M going to even matter? Are you being photographed with flash on a daily basis by the hungry paparazzi? Everyone is so caught up in "quality" when most of the things being complained about are so detailed and meaningless in the grand scheme.
