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

pick up my pair this morning and put them side by side with my ds cdp 5s, overall quality is a little better on the cdp 5 but the soles on the 2013 kills the cdp version imo also 2013 is maybe an ounce heavier

got my pair from FNL this morning. patiently waiting for them to ship. love the winners circle $20 off thing... offsets shipping and sales tax.
 
agreed no 23 = MUCH better ...

LOVE mine, should keep 2 pairs .. hmm ..

and i predict Nike Air ones by 2015 .. its how JB is going to get us all for $200 going forward .. one more run without it, then a run with it again in a couple years .. then 5 yrs off .. personally i dont care about the NikeAir .. its not an OG shoe, never gonna be .. doesnt bother me with the jumpman
 
Woke up this morning with 0 intentions of purchasing. Went out to get breakfast, then afterwards headed over to the plaza and saw roughly 15 people on line (at 9:45). I decided to wait and actually see these in person. I felt rushed so I bought them :lol: and not even in my size which had just sold out :smh:.

Not looking to resell neither so I'll just return them tomorrow. Size 10.

NOT HOPPING ON YOU MAN BUT SEEMS LIKE YOU WASTED YOUR TIME AND MONEY FOR NO REASON.
 
i thought since i woke up so late i would have to wait for a restock but around noon i got a wild idea and tried calling a few local stores. i had a pair of 12's in my hand 20 minutes later :smokin.

went to my local Finish Line, around 7am, and there wasn't a line until about 9:30. 
woke up way too early, but im glad i was the 2nd person in line. happy with these though.
 
After this release, experience with Champs went sour. This 'one day' temp manager declined me to use my $10 reward card. I told him to give a reason why I couldn't and I can online or instore with FTL/hoh or FA. His moronic response made me to never shop there again. Smh!
 
Not a bad release at all. Woke up at 4:30, got to the mall by 6, then waited in line for 2 hours until Foot Locker, Foot Action, & DTLR to opened. Everyone in line walked away with a pair without any problems other than waiting in 34 degree weather for several hours.

Anyway, I took several pics for those who ordered online or just browse the thread just to see different pics of the same shoe lol.






I know a lot of people dont like the the blue tint on the outsole, but it's actually not as bad as a lot of pictures make them seem.
. At least the blue sole takes a little longer to discolor. For the price you think they could make a pair that doesn't yellow. ********, sea glow my ***. PICK IT UP JB!

Oxidation is what makes the sneaker material yellow.

It happens to just about everything on the planet, even metals....
 
I need some help with sizing...Do the 2011 Black/Metallic's run the same as these? And how about the earlier V releases? I ask because I usually get an 11 in J's (My foot is inbetween an 11 and an 11.5), but had to settle for a 10.5 in these. I tried them on and they were a perfect fit...I want to get a pair of Black Metallic's in the future, but I wanna know if they run big like these.
