Air Jordan V 5 Retro Fire Red "Black Tongue" 8/31

[wj4]

Wonder how the sales will be in the upcoming weeks with retros dropping back to back to back. Hoping these are as easy to get as the 3s were.

i dont think so

I bet green glows and the fear pack will be getting the hype from the youth

With back to school nothing is safe

 

[daddyrabbit251]

I def want the jacket that goes with these too

With back to school nothing is safe

very true but especially with kids parents buying them shoes regardless of price smh but the fire reds come out after school starts for them around here so hopefully that makes it easier for us

 

[sunshineblotters]

thats what I did, I much prefer the black tongue to the 3m tongue

Same

let us pray.

lol. isn't the fear pack extra limited? The fear pack is not a hurdle for these.

 

[htownshoefiend]

Now that I think about it, the fee pack is limited and a lot will miss... They may settle for these even though its after school starts (for most kids).

same here have the 06's and doubling for sure!

That is correct. No 23 was on the og release 3m tongue 5. Mike had pe pairs with the 23. Only shoe that released with the 23 was the black tongue. Now....jb need to re-release the black metallics without the 23 like the og's.

Black metallics without 23 would def be a double cop, never have been fond of it on there. Black metallics take me back to elementary/middle school, classic!

Recent 5s have been runnin .5 or a full size too big for most people.

Man, the .5 size I could live with but a whole size would be pretty bad. I'm hesitant to size down after the FR3s, they ended up being TTS for me- another shoe notorious for running .5 size big...

thank you all for the sizing info

 

[deezy4]

So glad people are sleeping on these, should be an easy pickup just like the FR 3s

great quote here

with og mats na too doe...and tts

 

[mikewazowski7]

I don't think people are going to sleep on these!

 

[sunshineblotters]

^Yah a lot of people skipped some releases for these, like the metallic FRs and the FRIIIs

Yeah, seems like a pretty sought after shoe. I was on the fence at first, but the more pics I see I'm feeling them. Hopefully another fairly easy cop for those who want.

with og mats na too doe...and tts

That's what I'm talkin about! Need to bring it back... I'm ready!

it's allowed to not be feeling a shoe the first few times it releases. not everyone likes a colorway just because it's og fyi

He's saying this isn't a colorway that just came out of the blue like the green glows. This is a sneaker that has been around for 25 years and has been retroed before.

For youngsters new to sneakers they might not be familiar with the OG's

True

As much as we post pictures of the shoes we should start posting videos of MJ performing in them
