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

[tonytobacco]

No, I don’t, but apparently my flat foot causes me to walk on one side of my foot more than the other. This is the third pair of shoes (Vans Sk8 Hi and some kind of Adidas) that get a hole at the same spot: outter bottom corner of the shoe. Frequent wear just contributed to this. I plan on copping a pair of 4s for the winter (is that a bad decision already?) and stuffing in some orthopedic soles, hopefully this fixes the issue.

You should start looking at jordans like a nice watch or jacket etc.

If you want them to last anyway

You wouldn't wear a nice watch all day everyday, but you have an out fit that it goes perfect with or for special occasions. Or go buy some 1s and dog those into the ground. You should see another year out of those.

Much respect for rocking those til they fell apart

Lmao please do share more pics. Dude won thread low key I dgaf what anybody say.

Like I said before shoutout to u for wearing your shoes that’s what they made for

tonytobacco Sorry, but I beg to differ. I bought these as sneakers, yes, they are nice, but I wouldn’t treat them as a trophy or a gem. I bought these to wear them. I am looking at Oreo 4s or some casual 1s that I can wear casually, but comfort is important because I walk a lot(evidently,lol). In the end, I really fell in love with these and although I’ve been following the sneaker culture for three years, last year was my opportunity to buy my first of Js. If I’ve learned anything from you guys, the sneakerheads, it’s simply WEAR YOUR KICKS! Hopefully I manage to cop another pair of these in the future. Till then, I’m looking for some durable Js guys, I walk 5 miles + a day. Take a look for yourself, I’ve been chased by dogs in these, I went to the bar in these, I took all my exams in these, so this will be a special pair for me forever.

Spoiler

Suggest me some new kicks to get for the winter, please.

I Ivan99 on social media just make sure you follow sneaker sites and sneaker deal sites to cop all types of shoes for 50% -70% off.

Ive seen plenty of retro J's around $100 and even some under $100.

Get timbs if u live somewhere that snows. Wearing js in the snow is no bueno

Maybe get some 12s and avoid nubuck uppers

Had these at the outlet last weekend here in Wisconsin for 109 bucks. Picked up a pair of course

 

[tonytobacco]

Gd it

That is a crazy deal for real; haven't seen these go for less than retail anywhere.

*Edit*

Repped for the Midnight Marauders Vinyl.

 

[SamKQboro]

mossman1975 you have great taste in kicks and music.
Wish my local outlets had that deal, would've tripled up.

 

[JACKFROSTY843]

After this outlet run dries up I expect these 2 sky rocket in 2018. A true classic deserves it.

If so, glad I grabbed me a pair 2 months ago.

One of the shoes I kind of cheaped out on. Hopefully the resale value doesn't jump up too high once the limited Jordans start reeling back in.

Seen a few pairs, VNDS at least, for around $150 or lower.

I would've gladly kept a pair on ice and Ivan99'd the other

I'm guessing they're long gone by now?

Yeah they were gone like a hour after I left, I believe a size 7 was left if it's still available

 

[aquatic barefoot]

Just got my pair in. Build quality is as close to 00’ as it could get.

Proves JB/Nike can get retros right (see Air Pressures) if they want to.

Well done in this one.

Anyone know where to get replacement lace locks for these?
