True, those were on my Sneaker list. Though I still might buy down the line; I don't care about creases.

You talkin about these 2006 Blk tongue fire red V's.
What about the 3M tongues?
Were the 2013 Fire Red 5s that bad?
all of this. It was just too far removed from the last pair of 5s I had (07 grapes and those were merely decent).yeah i got rid of my black tongue pair because the leather was trash. it was stiff and had a plastic feel. i hate that leather because it creases terribly
No, the Kaede Rukawas
You talkin about these 2006 Blk tongue fire red V's.
All this hate on the 2011s I don't understand it. The 2011 Black Metallic 5 are super dope with the suede. The contrast with the deep black suede and the red jumpman and metallic hits and look on feet are ill. I love my pair. And I will also be getting 2 pairs of these if they drop.
you mean nubuck vs durabuck. i don't think black suede was used on the V?Some like the suede, some like the durabuck. It's an endless argument honestly...however they do these I'm coppin, jus like eryone else that wants these IF they drop whether you like suede or durabuck...

2011 pair is not as sleek looking as the previous retros. I miss the emphasis on the lining when the heel part meets the rest of the shoe.
More likely having to do with the wrong material being used, I know it's so cliche to keep beating the dead horse here with the "Durabuck" talk but Durabuck looks 1000000x better.

ah, i see. i thought those were consider nubucks. thought only material like on the xx1 red, 18, toro 5 were suede.Naw. The same suede on the varsity red 6s
correct. Varsity Reds were Nubuckah, i see. i thought those were consider nubucks. thought only material like on the xx1 red, 18, toro 5 were suede.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say...Everyone that is campaigning for the 2007 retro, NEVER owned the OG or 2000 retro, and that the 2007 retro was the closes thing you could get your hands on to a retro that kinda looks like the original, but it really didn't !
I had the OG's in 1990 and i had the 2000 retro my senior year, and let me tell you when i saw the 2007 retro for the first time, that shoe looked as foreign to me as someone waiting to get through Customs !
Until 2007 my black metallic 5's NEVER had the 23 numbering on the side, nor did they have a jumpman on the heel.
I absolutely disliked them from first sight.
Now fast forward to 2011.
Jordan brand was showing no indication of bringing back the Nike Air, so i accepted the changes of the times.
When JB brought the black metallic 5 back for that year, I PERSONALLY liked what i saw.
One of the things i didn't like with my 2000 pair, was when you wear them the black nubuck would eventually start to lighten. So when i saw that dark black upper on the 2011 retro, i was in, but it was really the red jumpman on the sole that did it for me.
I PERSONALLY believe the red jumpman was a very nice touch to a classic that has been modified for this NEW Generation.
So in conclusion...I loved my OG's, I loved my 2000 retro, I could care less about the 2007 retro, and i sure as hell love my 2011 retros !
