Air Jordan V retro OG - Nike Air - Fire Red/Silver tongue - May 2, 2020

[ogSlater]

still regret thinking i could clean my og white with bleach and water back in 90 , took the straight to the court and the nu or durabuck cracked and peeled right off and i had the only furry cloth air jordan 5s, still white tho, lol

Why lol? the og hang tag has machine wash instructions.. and that og durabuck cleaned super easy!

 

[johnnyp2k12]

yep, and i did wash them a few times too

It’s a fair assessment for a retro program aimed at reproducing the originals. I mean it doesn’t even hold a light to the 99s which I found the 2016 to be a perfect reproduction of besides the tongue and blue sole. The Air Jordan 8 aqua and 6 infrared are probably the best retro to date. Also at this point I can wait for the 1990 retro if the 85/6 Air Jordan 1 Hi is any better.

These are gonna look so nice with the icy blue soles

Why is there a Jumpman on the toe?

I’m in for 5 at least. Maybe more. I’m clearing out room in my closet for this release. Hands down my favorite J.

2013..

What’s the point if none are even being worn??

nice pic. looks like the flash shadowed the jumpman onto the toe box.

Why is there a Jumpman on the toe?

Because of the reflection from the shine

 

[you go boy]

the reflective shine looks exactly the same except of course the material... im impressed... i loved the quality on the 2016 pair but hated the material they used on the tongue lol

that og gummy netting tho...

that og gummy netting tho...

Thats the material I would love to come back. It took a beating for it to yellow.

If they used the same general process to produce it as on the original AJ4 netting - it sounds like a pain, too bothersome for them to apply to a retro...
but of course I would love to see it back as well.

Got both! I wanna see how the 2020s stack up to my 1999 pair and my 1990 silver tongues!

I'm assuming these are different sizes. Or are the newer ones just wider?

They are both the same size. A size 9. I used the 2016 for donors.

 

[wizards23brown]

The black tongues are so much nicer.. hope we don’t have to wait too long..

Interesting...wonder how it evolved to the release version....Never seen so many elements of a sketch that never made it to the final design.

I heart all the 5s, these more particularly. I’m in.

 

[g-time]

In for one pair for me and possibly a pair for all three of my sons.

I think thats supposed to be flames on the side inspired by the old fighter planes back in the day, & he ended up putting the flames in reverse to go against the grain...from what I can remember from the netflix doc.
