Nike Air Jordan Retro Metallic V - 7/23/16

[jacksodk]

I need those fire red 5's with the 23 on the side retroed again! Mine crumbled as well last year.

And as far as the yellowing, my 2016 pair yellowed faster than the last pair I had. Definitely different material or process used.

I need the metallics to retro again, I missed out in 2016.

Picked up my pair just sitting in ftl on release day around 2pm. Should have cleared out all the stock they had.

How did it feel?

How did it feel?

It felt much nicer than whatever this is they use today as a replacement. The modern version feels dry and almost rough in relative comparison. The OG material had, as you can see in that V ad, a kind of "grain" to it, as well. So many black Nikes of the era used that stuff. Just like you can see in the ad and as I said in my other post, it almost looked oily or wet when viewed in the right light/from the right angles.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it was some premium material. I can't even say if it was more or less DURABLE than today's stuff. It just LOOKED and felt nicer.

rainking is correct on that shine!

I vividly remember 5s being way more sleek, and generally not as clunky as they are today. Today's version looks awesome, but feel so clunky on feet.

 

[Girl Thats Jules]

It was a lot smoother

Ive probably posted this far too many times but the most recent retro was a BRICK compared to what they originally were. Some, but very few, people even notice.

Definitely. And the OG Durabuck was a much smoother texture. Not quite like leather, but not like we're getting now, which is more like a very very short haired nubuck. I was talking more about the comfort, but you're right, the look was quite diff with the materials and shape.

These definitely need a good retro with contrasting durabuck.

I love that OG shape man looks like a sleek ferrari or lexus and the fighter jet makes these 2016 and every thing else look like fakes. They need to get back to it

 

[kingjay718]

Sold a DS pair I had on ice for 460.00 And funny thing is I don't regret it. No retro will ever truly mirror the OG's but the 2016 I could not ignore anymore lol.

Likely gonna put that money on something else or something.

Jordan 5’s are my favorite Jordan. It started off the 90’s with a bang!
