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

Lol they sent my nieces shoes in a torn to pieces box then tried to blame it on ups. Then stated they would never sell shoes and send them with a box in that condition. Wow you need to post that pic on twitter and Instagram and expose these fools. That's basically no shoe box lol

was able to get the restock from the other day off of eastbay and just got the package delivered.
didn't know eastbay was about trying to finesse their customers LMAO!
it didn't come in the original box, but in a generic box. not only did that piss me off, but they don't offer free return shipping!
they do provide a return label but $6.99 is deducted from the return SMH!!

after about 20 minutes of chat, i was able to get their "supervisor" to give me $5 gift card $7 giftcard free shipping with full refund!

Indeed it did.

I've had mine get splashed with water, and they have gotten small, slight water spots, but I've gotten them off by using a small amount of generic nubuck cleaner sprayed onto a plain black hand towel.
Nice to see u still in here. I remember u were one of the main posters in this thread. :Nthat
Glad you enjoyed the release and the shoes

Oh I've definitely enjoyed the hell out of them. More than any pair I've bought in a long time. But not for the last week because it's been nothing but rain in SoCal.

Still, my favorite release of 2016 by far. And I enjoyed the apparel line too. The reflective AJ V jacket is INSANE. They went all out with it. Great quality, and it's noticeably heavier than the average windbreaker. I love it. I never would've paid $500 for it, but I was able to get a deal on a still tagged DS one in my size for less than half that and I jumped on it. One of these days I'll post pics.
 
Pics of the jacket in question? Tbh Im not too familiar with the apparel released alongside these this last year.

I also got some questions about the "Flight 23" line released circa 1990. Got some old shirts and wondering if it was a bootleg line or they were sanctioned to use the Jumpman and MJs likeness?

Wow, I just saw that jacket on FTL earlier and thought I read it wrong.. $500 is insane! It looks kinda cool (saw it in store) but never looked at the tags. They're definitely losing their minds, a $500 accessory for a $220 pair of sneaks?!.. :lol

Honestly, the jacket is REALLY well made. But they were smoking thinking that $500 was a good starting price. I know the Nike Vapor jackets with the reflective tech weren't cheap, but those were also marketed to runners where the reflectiveness was a practical detail for use while running at night and in the elements. In this case, the reflectiveness is basically a fashion detail primarily to match the AJ V tongue. I can't imagine they made, or sold, a whole lot of them. I know a few of these hit discount stores, but I never saw them in any outlets. It just so happened that a previous seller that I know came across ONE and decided to sell it for barely over what he paid, otherwise I might never have gotten one.

That's an awesome OG pic. And a little before MJ went with the full bald look. LOL.

I would love to have that shirt and shorts. I have a black Jordan branded version of the shirt and a mostly black version of the shorts from 2013 I believe, but the originals are the ish.

BTW, still waiting patiently for THIS 1990 warm up jacket (and hopefully matching pants with it) to come back. JB, are you listening?
