that icy sole immediate made me think these were a fake early early release pair.

At least he shape is good guys. If they dropped the other fire reds with this shape I would cop. Just the toebox is a little off. V toeboxes change shape when you wear em anyway.
Nobody?

here is a comparison of the red on the 2000 retro (top) & the 2008 cdp retro (bottom)
as one can see, the cdp is a darker red with less 'fire' than the 2000 retro
& this new release doesn't look much different than the cdp
whatever your opinion of that may be
Personally I think both are fine. I would prefer the red to be more "fire" red, but that's not to say the darker is "bad", "ugly", etc. If the red on the 2013 pair is true to the 2000 pair cool, if not, JB could have done MUCH worse.

For @AirThompson's pics I'm preferring the varsity red over fire red. It looks better with the clear sole

I am surprised these are getting so much hate. I just don't like this colorway. If the other Fire Reds have the same changes these have, I wouldnt complain. And those have much more red on em.

Should have retroed the OG's with the black tounges instead. Not really feeling the cdp pack 5's.

Wait for release date to get closer. Opinions will change.

If these go the way of the '12 "fire red" IVs and sit on shelves for a month or 2, I won't mind because that'll mean easy purchase for me.

you can have my pair come january.
watch in the next couple of months the cdp pairs for sale and people scooping them up. these just overall look horrid. how hard is it to even remotely look anything like the og's or first retro's? was hoping to get something close to these-

funny since nike was discontinuing the silver jordan boxes,
how the 2000 wht/blk/red V came with three different combinations of box & sticker
am curious...anybody have all three? i think it was regional

This picture has got me thinking of getting multiple of all 5's next year. Look at the padding around the ankle and on the tongue, which the height of is dope! If the do the padding justice like the Metallic V's last year then all V's will be copped next year! I own the CDP and as cool as it is with the 23 I could care less, I love the 5's for the silhouette my favorite numbered Jordan.

im glad were getting these, imo these are the better fire red.

It looks like JB got tired of taking all my money. Out of all the "confirmed" V releases the grapes are the only must haves. Hope the betrer fire reds come out too. Too bad for them considering the IVs and Vs are my favorites.
That leaves me with the grapes, banned royals, Aquas, Columbia XIs if they all come out.

Still got my CDP Fire Red 5's sitting on ice but I'll definitely scoop a pair of these when they drop. I just hope the tongues on these won't be produced similar to the Metallic 5 2011 release. The tongues from the retro 5's from '06-'08 had a lot more of that reflective material and better shape/detail to it.. the 2011 metallics tongue was fatter, sloppy shape, and had more of a cheap silver-y hue as opposed to that nice 3M reflective tongue I was accustomed to
