LA gear and Spalding were shameless with there knockoff shoes. Trust me, I would know. When I was 9, I really wanted the Reebok Pumps. Mom went out got some LA Gear regulators and told me its the same thing. Had some knockoff playoffs 7s to. They were bad lol. But looked like them just enough to know what they were doing there. Cant remember the brand though.
Was in Meijer the other day looking for some new steel toe shoes for work and saw some Shaq XIs
now that you mention it, i had a pair of knockoff Spalding shoes that looked identical to Chicago 10s. I can’t front, they looked clean and people complimented them lol

Surprised there’s not more buzz about these... I’ve always thought the OG 5s are some of the most iconic Air Jordan’s.
This colorway arguably the most popular too (not that they’re better but I see more people wearing these out in the wild)
I, for one am fiending for these.. I had them in 5th grade (early 2000s retro??), can’t wait to have this pair in hand.

Ya, OG netting somehow doesn’t yellow much. Which makes it all the more infuriating that the modern netting does. I’ve wondered for a while if perhaps the more eco-friendly materials companies have to use today has anything to do with it. Probably not and Nike just uses inferior, cheaper stuff nowadays. But it makes you wonder.

OG Vs netting was different than the retro material. It last a long *** time.

****, I got my 14s taken off my feet at gunpoint right in front of my house in ‘98. Not even kidding. Scariest, most violating feeling ever.

Got a gun pulled on me once years ago when I was working at McDonalds. We didn't get robbed, chick was mad her fries were cold so she pulled a pistol on me.

How have the latest pairs of 5's been fitting? Does the Nike Air pairs fit different than the jumpman pairs?

Okay so the build of the shoe looks very very similar to the 2016 black metallics..
Only thing I notice is the tongue looks different.. It looks like it’s slightly smaller, and the “air jordan” tag on the back is much lower. Also in those last pics up there it almost looks like the 3m is different than the black metallics??

Anyone have to exact release dates from 1990 for these and the Metallics? Not just February 1990, but the specific date?
