Now I did manage to get a pair from FNL sz 11 and I would agree with the overall craftsmenship being bad. Few things that I noticed:The left side back stitched jumpman has specs of white stitching and is just poorly done compared to the right side which is perfectThe left shoe has tiny little indentation on the "shark teeth" design almost as though the mold used for the mid sole was not done correctlyFinally both shoes had remnants of glue on different portions of the toe box that just looked sloppy, I was able to get it off but I should not have had to do that. I also notice a little bit of paint that bleed on the front mid sole of each shoe from the dark area to wear it meets the white rubberIn all probably the poorest quality JB I have seen released yet this year....now the 11.5s I got my hands on were not as bad just too big, in agreement that these do run large!That's Nike/JB outsourcing all their products for us and charging us high price points as well.
My Fire Red V from 2008 CDP has corroborated the actuality that they do yellow even though I've never, ever worn them.
I have a good amount of sneaks. I didn't keep them unworn for any intents, I just never had anything to wear with them or I preferred to wear other sneaks I had since they went good with certain attire I had. But I'll try to restore them by reading and researching techniques on here and allover the internet.Yup, that's why you need to wear them, so you can enjoy them while they're clear.
I don't mind if my shoes yellow from me wearing them.
Yah I am going a full size down. Like I said many recent jordans for me have been like that (88 IIIs, FR IVs) if it is too tight I will loosen the lacesfor people waiting on restock, i would definitely recommend going .5 size down or even 1 full size. these fit huge.
The reason I recall the Jordan V so well was the fact it was visible on TV and film in 1990 and 1991.
I'll always recall Will Smith's character wore all the colorways of the V throughout the first season of Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air when the show came out in 1990. I'll always identify with the V that way since it was visible for a season on one of my favorite TV shows ever.
The V was so popular, the black/metallic V was worn by Edward Furlong who played the teenage John Conner in Terminator 2 throughout the entire movie! What also stood out was the fact he was a white teen who wore a Public Enemy t-shirt along with those V. Even though the movie came out in summer 1991, it was obviously filmed in 1990 when the V was out that year. I'm assuming the stylists for that movie came up with the idea for his outfit since the V was a wildly popular shoe, and Public Enemy was a popular and relevant group at that time it was filmed. Coincidentally Public Enemy's classic album, Fear Of A Black Planet, came out in 1990 as well.
Its always great reminiscing on classic stuff like that.
Well, of course I first recall the Jordan V sneaks was based on the fact MJ wore them on court and he balled in them. But I also recall the transcendent influence it had off the court where every sneaker fanatic wore them at that time.The reason I recall the Jordan V so well is the fact that Michael Jordan wore them to play basketball and is the GOAT.
Yep, all the other was true too, but that was just good product placement.The reason I recall the Jordan V so well is the fact that Michael Jordan wore them to play basketball and is the GOAT.
got my pair from ndc. im gonna return them at gurnee nike factory tomorrow. very disappointed with jb quality control. the paint is scuffed up and the overall craftsmanship sucks on my pair. this pair looks like a B grade.
