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

[memphissfinest]

Seems identical to the "no 3M = pass" on the bred 13s release, been hearing people passing up on these fire red 5s because of the "no 23" on the heel side, maybe that's affecting the hype of these. Bit on the fence whether I want these or wait for the black tongue w/ 23 in the fall. But I'm leaning towards copping cause I love the 5s regardless. 

I said that to my friend who works at FNL and he was like "get both...lol"

YEA, THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING. GETTING BOTH. NOT LIKE THEY RELEASE ON THE SAME DAY AND YOU HAVE TO PICK ONLY ONE.

what's the retail and box looking like on these?

Supposedly, an OG Style box

Looking like the usual retro price range. $160 or $170.


Can someone else confirm that though? (If they already havent )

SPECIAL BOX TOO? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. DEF COUNT ME IN FOR NEXT SATURDAY.

damn these are next sat (26th) hat

 

[growingupny]

I'm missing what dudes are seeing (or not seeing) to make them pass on these....

Oh well, easier for me to cop.

 

[killajay209]

Do you guys still wear your icy soles even after they start to turn yellow?

 

[dahero1017]

Yea B. My SJ's are starting to yellow around the threading, and my Concords. It's just time to look into restoring the icey-ness.

I dont, I cant stand it. Last year I sold ALL my shoes with clear soles, EVERYTHING! Most were DS, I just couldnt bring myself to wear them because once "I" wear clear soles the first time "I" THINK they look horrible.

I hate clear soles because I think they are yellow before they actually are. Again, I cant stand it.

 

[steelogreen]

i hope ur not serious lol

I'm definitely getting these next week. I already have the black tongues from 06...in pretty good condition. I just need to invest the time in actually cleaning them and maybe sea glowing or retrobrite the soles, eventually. The flash kinda makes them more yellow than they actually are smh but nonetheless still yellow. Should be an easy cop.

Yeah that was summer 2011 I remember pulling up to my spot right before they opened just me and one other person....try that now and you will be paying resale

 

[steelogreen]
