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

[nuclear90]

not that interested in these?

Heavily on the fence.

$220 is an awful lot for 25 year old technology when we just got the XII "Flu Games" for $190 with 18 year old technology.

If price was sub-$200 would be an easier choice.

$220 for nostalgia....like every other Jordan with a Nike heel tab

Lots of people refer to the first AJ V Retros as '99s, but in truth there was NOT an AJ V released in 1999. It's not that big of a deal, it's just one of those small inaccuracies that can get kind of cumbersome when 50 heads in a row state it and quote it, but you know for a fact it's not true.

The white/fire red Vs released on 1/5/2000 and the black/metallic silvers released on 3/15/2000. Don't ask me how I remember. I just have one of those kind of memories for certain things. The original Laneys came next in May of 2000, and the white/silvers dropped on July 5.

The black/red AJ IV Retros DID release in '99 though, on Cinco de Mayo. And the white/cements released on 6/2/1999. The Columbias followed in September and I believe the original Oreos were the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The original white/chrome (meshless) IVs a.k.a. the Bling Blings (long time NTers probably remember this was about as dumb a nickname as "breds"), were a quickstrike in late April 2000.

ACCURACY LEVELS… GOING ALL THE WAY UP … I NEVER SAW ANYONE CALL THE V'S 99'S BUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN CONFUSED TO HEAR SUCH A THING TOO...

A lot of people call them 99's because of the production date on the tag.

The 2014 Black Infrared 6's hurt the ish outta of toes @ARK27. Even with extra shoe pads, they feel like they're cuttin' the **** outta them. The entire shoe is overall, too narrow & uncomfortable. I think I should've copped a 12 1/2. They look beautiful as hell though, outside of steel toe boot toebox.​

 ​

 ​

The 2011 BM 5 were comfortable as **** IMO, but the ashy larry material got dusty with the quickness. The toe box creased terribly, also. Overall, they just didn't age well, the 3M was non existent... and the shoes were just made very cheaply.​

What you said about 6s, FACTS

 

[bballermarkie]

Anyone know why the Air Jordan on the tongue is upside down?

No idea, I thought that was a fours thing

 

[The Fresh Prince]

No idea, I thought that was a fours thing

No, it's also on the 5s. I don't know why because I wouldn't want to fold the tongue.

@dankenstien88.

Repped G.

I was just about the say the same thing. The same reason people say the OG Playoff 11's came out in 1995.... When they weren't released until March of 1996.

@SobeSoles Does this mean the pre-orders should be getting filled soon then?

Quoted for effectiveness.

That's one of those things that irk me as well, and I was forced to deal with it cause so many people don't really care to be that accurate.

REPPED.

 

[x-alt]

They were tearing the game up when the Bling Blings dropped. Nickname makes perfect sense, just like Bred.

On a side note NikeTalk...

This is one of the BEST Non OG colorways, that JB's has come up with in quite sometime.

I agree this is way better then that bronze and navy crap coming out later.

 

[Aquamanjay_]

So glad they(gold 5s) don't have black netting like balt said they would.

I agree & reps to you both @SoCalHoss & @jaylaw15.

They're not the worst color way ever, but I just can't get jiggy with this ish.

​

we just got a dark blue 5 last year. Should've brought one of the old retro plus back

 

[marztharealist]

These would've been VERY welcomed.​

Minus the horrendous "23" on the side of the shoes.​

 ​

Or these @jaylaw15...​

give me the green pair. I'm pissed at the sudden hype beast interest on those red shoes especially since they got hit sale racks when originally released. It seems like Kanye sill has people hyped over red shoes.

If they released again they'd be impossible to get with show folks even getting violent maybe. I'm too old for all that jazz

 

[justbecool]

Those Vs are crazy. I'd be happy to see either in the near future especially I was super young when they first dropped and since then have skyrocketed in price.

 

[reputory]

Need olive maroon and green bean 5s to come back out

 

[marztharealist]

I feel you @jaylaw15. That's was back when the overall hype for Jordan Retros just died. Nobody was messing with those packs at all, outside of the 2010 Infrared pack. The Raging Bull pack sat at malls here in Cincy, for like a year & a half. They even went on sale. I should've grabbed em, but I couldn't bring myself to pay $300+ for shoe back then. ​

 ​

I'd rather have the Olive 5's myself, honestly. I have to many black & red shoes already. Even though those are my favorite colors, I've been wanting those Olive 5's forever, & the Undefeated 4's. I wish those would re-retro badly. All they have to do is change the netting, & make it like the netting on the 2016 WC 4's. After that, get rid of the detachable "Flight" patch... So the OG's can remain sought after. That's just my opinion though.​
