Air Jordan 5 Retro SP “Michigan” - Aug. 10, 2019

These are so close to the Tokyo 5, and in all actuality they are much nicer. If these would’ve released in 2013 they would’ve been a $600-$700 shoe. Beautiful execution. I predict they will be highly sought after in the future.
 
I’d like to see a side by side comparison

I also want to see a lace swap in these, I think white wouldn’t look bad maybe red if you was feeling edgy
 
Imo ya these are nicer than the Tokyo’s. I’ve seen the Tokyo’s on many occasions and the grey on they throws it off. The navy hits on these go so well!!
 
Little comparison:

Imo Tokyo's look softer & breathes a little more with the grey. Michigan 5's look alot tougher & more menacing with the navy.

Like preppy vs outlaw brothers.
 
I like the yellow used on these better than the Reversed Ferraris. Something how the JB can mix up the materials used on different shoes. I'm glad these won't have that suede-ish/leather look/feel to them...
 
I think a yellow jumpman on the tongue for this release would have made them a must cop for me.
 
Anyone have shipping confirmation emails from Nike/SNKRS yet?
 
I like Tokyos and these. T5s are so hard to find in my size. I only saw em once last January on a FB group selling for 10K. These M5s will do just fine. Totally satisfied
 
These Michigan’s to me blow away the colour blocking on the Tokyo’s. Such a great shoe.
 
I like these better than Tokyo’s, it nothing beats the black metallic 5
