Pure sex...hopefully this plays out like grape v release and I'm able to cop multiple pairs.
I wanna say grape cw has more hype around than these?? Still no easy cop tho...

I'm not too crazy for the new mold either, but I think I'm going to do something I almost never do when it comes to sneakers and just settle for it. Before the year ends though I too will try to have both this upcoming release and a 2000 pair that I'll wear first.

I thought he was talking about why they would change the flat laces from the OGs to the oval laces for certain Vs.

That wouldn't make sense with this particular pair. Oval laces and Laney V's always ran together, so nothing is different in that regard. Only MJ himself and the design team behind the 2000 Laney V release would be able to tell us why they had oval laces in the first place.

Even cheaper than that in some places.
I think that's part of what's made these so coveted. Since they were so cheap, ppl bought these to wear into the ground and they did. Since there aren't too many decent pairs floating around cats are beasting over them.
The "leather" on these look good for the most part.
And cosign on a white/metallic retro.

all this, shoes back in those years just really are not worth the hassle to fix up if/when something bad happens to them and it most definitely will.
I agree this years 5's have been a let down and the new shape is terrible, personally the Metallic 5's from 2011 were the worst retro'd V I have seen and owned, couldn't wait to sell them. I can;'t remember what thread I spoke about it but for anyone who owns the Wolf Grey V's, you'll know when I say that they are almost the last good Retro 5 in terms of the molds they used for all the 06-07 releases, and those came out the same year of the Metallic's, so who knows if they have the old/er mold stowed away somewhere or they are just using the new mold now.
I have been stumped for a long time at how much of a change they actually did:

to me the molds on the 06-07s arnt that great to me how it banana curves inward at the back of the shoe
just my 2 cents. Not a mold guru but I would pick 2011/2013s

Not really that informed regarding molds...why is or isn't it a big deal? Is there that much of a noticeable difference?to me the molds on the 06-07s arnt that great to me how it banana curves inward at the back of the shoe

I get that but what is the basis for it? Is there a mold standard ? It just seems funny to me

the mold standard is the shape of the ogs a lot of people want a shoe to be an exact clone down to the shape but molds are thrown away so I dont blame it for being off sometimes.

clearly not thrown away, as per my comparison of the Wolf Grey Vs.
Same year as the 2011 Metallics, yet 2 different shapes, build etc.
