Jordan Retro V "Shanghai Shen" (China Exclusive)

[quise2024]

no longer the "black laney" and also not releasing in the US

via http://sneakerbardetroit.com/2013/09/air-jordan-5-shanghai/

The Air Jordan 5 "Shanghai" first came to the scene as presented as the “Black Laney” Air Jordan 5. Now that we got the story straight, we take a closer look at the upcoming Asia exclusive model, dubbed Shanghai. This Air Jordan 5 will be part of the Shanghai releases featuring a Black base with Varsity Maize/Royal accents finished with an embedded Chinese “Shen” logo on the sides. Check out the images below and let us know if your upset with the fact that the "Shanghai" Air Jordan 5  will not be releasing to the states?

Personally ... good those were 

 anyway

How did the blogs run with Black Laney when it looks like a Mandarin character?

...What does this even mean? What's a Mandarin character?

the character is read as "申" other name for shanghai (上海) city , as any other nike ignite shanghai pack carried this kind of logo

Mandarin is ... i guess a dialect of the Chinese language. That might not be the right word for it, but anyway its a diff form of the Chinese language that is spoken in certain areas

lol. I know what Mandarin is. I was messing because he referred to it as a Mandarin character. AFAIK, as a written language, Mandarin isn't any different from other Chinese dialects.

Oh well still ugly not losing sleep on them not releasing here

If you take away the yellow and replace it with black while maintaining the blue accents it would look much better.

Those would look good with all that University of Michigan Wolverines gear....

I'm surprised these aren't getting any love.

I kind of like them and I'm not even a fan of the Laney colorway (don't like yellow at all).

I wouldn't go out of my way to get them, but I wouldn't pass on them if they were sitting around.

I don't think they are getting that much "love" because they are available only overseas.  Also people had high hopes expecting a "black laney", then these came out and they were disappointed.

Also most people probably won't want to pay $600 plus for this shoe, especially if a variation of this comes to the states.

I was on the fence at first like the rest of you, and then I saw those high res pics? Wouldn't be mad at having those in my collection. Might have to ebay the situation.

 

[its dp3]

I guess I'm one of the few that likes these. Tbh I think they're better than regular laneys even if they're not "black laneys"
