I know I'm in the minority, but I like this whole tie in with Will and the Fresh Prince. This 5 is different and I'm cool with that.
There are a couple of different schools of thought on Jordans. Some people want the pure OG stuff and some people want Jordan to try something new. This one to me is a combination of both. Old classic with a new edge to it. This forum will mostly get the OG crowd. It's just gonna be that way here. Anyone who loves the grapes could be mad at these. I was too, but these aren't grape 5s. They are a whole new thing.
Maybe Nike/JB are smart to do this. A lot of the older guys who had OG 5s are dads like me now. I don't have time to mess with lacelocks or even tie my shoes when I'm carrying my kids. I like the idea that I can have no lace 5s that are an homage to the first Jordans I ever owned. Great idea to make these in my book.
