Air Jordan V retro OG - Nike Air - Fire Red/Silver tongue - May 2, 2020

I love the material they used on these, these have been worn VERY HEAVILY and this is all the creasing they have!! Amazing retro!

Retro wouldn't know. But wouldn't argue if anyone felt its a top 5 Jordan CW.

They did these very well. I think my biggest issue was getting a pair that didnt arrive with a box that lost in a fight to Tyson. My least favorite V and first time copping this colorway.

Since I've had them, I've grown to like them a lot more.
 
Here’s my pair

That's about how mine look at this point as well. I've worn them quite a bit. I have another pair still DS.

I don't know what it is about the V and this particular colorway, but it's one Jordan I think actually looks good/cool as it yellows like this.
 
The only complaint that I really even have on these is the ankle collar.. I wish they’d slim it down a little closer to OG pairs. I guarantee those were comfier like that, people with the OffWhite 5s I bet would say it’s better that way.

The 1990 ankle collar is nothing like what’s been on every retro. I don’t mind the ankle pods I just wish they trimmed it all down.

Yes the last metallic retro was especially the example of what you refer to :lol:

2000 was the best year for 5s.
99-2000 4s and 5s were borderline protros. It was a steep decline until recently but we’re still way off from this 22 years later.

The tongues and the ankle padding were so much sleeker on the 2000s. I lowkey wanna get another pair of beat up fire reds and jack the midsole to do a swap on my 2000s.
