Air Jordan 5 "Oreo"

Its funny how when the "Oreo" 6s dropped it was the same kinda thing. Everyone wasnt feeling them really... They went on sale... etc.. Now people want those and pay 300 for them... Pretty upset Jordan made these their black friday release but o well.. They are decent... Still contemplating doubling up.

Mr OG,

This sounds like your BET award speech.

Also...It's "obsidian", not "obsidion"...that might help in selling those XII's in your signature...
 
stores around me still has various sizes, Eastbay still have a few left

I feel u brother. Well spoken. Its all about buying what u like and wanna wear. A lot of ppl get flamed on here for personal preferences and shoe choices. This is one of the best posts i've ever  read. Everybody aint rich. Guys on here make Jordans a status symbol, like if u don't have the latest release, OG color or certain version of shoe makes u less of a person. Much props to u chicagoguy5

Thanks man, I really appreciate that you're able to see my point of view and understand it. I just hate that if you're not filthy rich you are frowned upon for putting your priorities first, or simply the inability to make such purchases, especially on a consistent level. I love these shoes and I'd love to have a closet full of the ones I like, but at the end of the day they are only shoes and shouldn't determine how you view someone. Plus, I hate how some people buy all these colorful shoes that deep down may not like just to say they have them. Why can't people buy the stuff they like and rock it with pride? Passing is fine in my opinion, because they are staying true to themselves. Shoes should help you express your personality with pride even if you're a colorful and flamboyant person, but they should never determine exactly who you are and what you're worth. If anything, who you are as a person, how responsible you are, the way you think, and maybe your money should give a better idea of your status amongst society, but not the kind of shoe's you have on your feet because everyone else except you thought they were amazing so you go out and get them followed by being broke and not being able to pay your bills on time.

Much respect to you. I value my sneakers and wear every single one of them. I don't buy every release JB puts out because I'm not rich and I have bills to pay. I also don't get hyped over all releases. I didn't plan on buyin these but I did and I like em. Taxis I like but I'm gonna pass for the gammas because I prioritize
 
Finally got shipping info. Typically I receive tracking within a few hours of the order being placed, but maybe since I overslept on these it just took the whole process a little longer.
