Nike Air Jordan Retro Metallic V - 7/23/16

One pair will do me just fine, though I do need a more premium suede/nubuck eraser and brush set.
1 pair will do me fine too but hearing about another retro coming out has me excited. Vs are my 2nd favorite sneakers behind the XIIIs and the black metallic cw is my favorite V of all time
 

Nah @AirSakuragi
, ONLY if the 23 is embroidered in the same font as Jordan's PERSONAL PE's


If they're embroidered in the same CRAPPY font that we've been gettin' on the retro's for the longest....

H*** NO!


I've NEVER liked the look, nor the crappy font, and it KILLS the whole CLEAN look of the shoe IMHO...

I was GLAD when they took the 23 off of the "Oreo" 5's from 2013...

The samples from early 2013 had them, I still have the picture...


Honestly, they look the BEST without the 23, and just PLAIN IMHO...

im glad you mentioned this. I have no idea why they changed the font :{ the OG style 23 on the black tongue fire red 5s is :smokin
 
 
Aren't those the next fragments? What happened with that? You're right though, that needs to happen ASAP. 
No, that picture was PS.  I agree, it needs to happen but they're probably saving that idea for later on.

True, the only 13s I wish to own are the He Got Game 13s and the Playoff 13s.
 
The 23 font, better yet stitching craftsmanship was in its primitive beginnings in 1990. IMO they look better post OG. I like how the 06/07 & '11 Metallics had more detail and looked more reminiscent of the Bulls jersey font.

However, I never cared for the 23 badging. Just give me the '00 rendition.

I think the 23 used now is what helped make the white metallics look better too
 
The purple one had to be a sample from an earlier time. But it was clearly a people pair and a Maroon pair which is the one actually releasing
 
doubt it. They have the Nike air and the same color placement as the maroons
Yes I know, the GS Purple 6s had the same color placement as the Carmines(Purple where the Red is) these could be another variant of those but with the Infrared, Sport Blue, and Maroon color placement.

doubt it, there's even a picture with different color palettes of Maroon. Plus the pair pictured is a men's pair with the Nike air.
 
What material were the 2005's? Those were my all time favorite version of the 5's. I wore them out those and the 2005 Black and Red 14's.

They changed it back when Gentry Humphry punk *** was trying to please collectors and not make retros OG. He looked for the OG heads instead of the masses who didnt even own OGs

Yeah.. The same guy that said Jordan Retros were going away after the 2008 CDPs so they could focus on team Jordan shoes instead :lol

I think that ridiculous announcement plus the AF1 fusions were the reason why JB struggled between 2009-2011. Look what he's done to the foams these past couple of years after they hired him :{
