Air Jordan 5 Retro Grape NRG - Fresh Prince

[Aquamanjay_]

Wait a minute, these won’t have shoe laces or even lace holes? WHAT??!

Nothing an Xacto knife can’t fix

 

[bigty23]

No lace holes... leather looks A1 though

 

[engineer]

Another troll job by JB...definitely gonna add the lace holes if I’m able to secure a pair.

Not eem mad still coppin

Laces or not

 

[ARK]

No lace holes what on earth???

 

[drewswish]

hmm

 

[ARK]

This could’ve been a really nice retro. I’m sorry but no lace holes and no lace lock is ridiculous for a Grape 5 with Nike Air on the back.

 

[drewswish]

by the way, NRG doesn't always mean high resell and limited. green gatorade 6s and tinker 3s showed us that

Look at this dumb ****

Wish these had lace holes and laces for sure, but the Fresh Prince is my absolute favorite show of all times, and in my opinion one of the best shows of all time, so for me these are a MUST.

 

[j mobile]

Someone already said it, but the downside of these releasing is it probably means it'll be a while before we get the actual Grape 5s with NA branding. But while I do wish these were just OG Grape 5s, the inspiration is genuine IMO. Just wish I could decide if wanted to wear laces or not on my own (would ALWAYS wear laces without question).

 

[ARK]

These always had the elastic attached to the tongue to keep the tongue from sliding around. I wonder if thats enough though to fully be able to wear them without them coming off easily.

 

[SC kid]

I'm gettin too old for this s***

 

[Addisonz123]

no lace holes= Pass

 

[sthebest]

Instacopped

I’m taking a exacto knife to the laceholes though

Easiest mod ever, cutting holes into the already stenciled out laceholes *shrugs

These cool for the inspiration behind them, wonder how they’ll sell

 

[beh235]

Just give us Grapes with NA. I like these, don't like the gimmick. I'm so sick of the ****ing gimmicks. Not a fan of the West Philadelphia on the tongue.

 

[yrok1986]

These are wild. I respect the concept, and I'd even be okay with them not coming with laces, but not even having holes is hilarious. With that said, they're still a sexy *** shoe. I hope they fit securely and they're not just flopping around.

 

[headdetective]

Imma be one of them cats who cuts them lace holes out

 

[KanyIZZY]

I think it's both hilarious and dope that they forced you not to have lace holes lmao. JB will ALWAYS find a way to give you the OG without giving you the OG.

Now they're telling you how to dress.

 

[1c3m4m]

What they should have done was have lace holes, and give us laces with lace locks and give ppl an option to rock with laces or not

If you’re gonna do a gimmick at least give ppl the choice, like how travis scott forces gives u choices with the removeable nike check

No biggie for me, a knife, order laces, and use grape lace locks from 2013 pair

West Philly on the tongue doesnt bother me, cant even see the ish lol

 

[Deleted member 107398]

Looks like the tongue is stitched into the upper halfway up

 

[headdetective]

Cats goin to be reselling their lace locks from
2013

I can see the greed now.

$99 plus $15 shipping

Look I love fresh prince and I love the grapes.
Got my first connect in 2006 because of the grape release.

But this is a ****ty gimmick. What’s next?
Pre scuffed leather jordans? Ooh wait
