Air Jordan 5 "Grape" MAY 4th, 2013 - $160

[air jsarg]

as much as I love this shoe, I just cannot give JB money if they are using this stiff plastic "leather". I learnt by buying the fire reds and it's a shame when I was anticipating the 5's this year

Im glad these are looking like an easy come up. I hope dudes who paid $300+ for early pairs end up feeling like clowns. If you know what you are doing you should get thesr for retail. If not no more than $60 above.

So you came into this thread just to say that ?
I bet you don't have them or even checked them out
You just think its cool to talk crap about the quality, right?

I had the fire reds. Same cheap shoe. Couldnt rid myself of them fast enough. Not cool, just being honest that these are not worth retail.

 

[franco23x]

Plastic trash. Laughs at anyone who pays even retail for these.

Laugh at me, now! I enjoy that

Since these were an LS release last go round, will these be somewhat limited or a gr?

They're GR, but I expect them not to be as widely available as the Fire Reds.

These will be my next beaters for sure

I love these shoes but I def want them to wear until the soles fall off too. They scream "abuse me" lol

Also taking into account the short freshness lifespan they'll have before they get yellowed. No way I'm going to have these just sitting around collecting dust

You don't think they addressed that with the blue soles they have been using on the 5s lately?

The netting will yellow

Lol

Yellowing doesnt bother me the least bit. Grabbing these and the upcoming fire reds. Fire reds are beaters. These will collect dust until the fire reds ate beat to death

 

[just nikes]

JB ruined the Vs for me this go around. I got the white/black 5s.Too stiff and uncomfortable. And soooo bulky.

I'm not wasting another $175 on a shoe I can't fully enjoy. My favorite Jordan too

 

[kick-game215]

How can anyone say this is a "easy cop" a month before they release and before they even "copped" them. Nothing is easy anymore. Treat every release like a QS!

exactly, these will be heavy in the rotation for summer

 

[rhinosport]

@ people saying the shoes are too stiff,
You do know your supposed to break in shoes right?
Why do people think shoes are going to fit like a glove
Right out of the box? Look at it this way at least
They don't crease that easy.


Stiff leather or not these will be mine

 

[freddukez]

I am a 10 and my fives fit perfect. They are gonna look huge if they are too big bc they are mostly white IMO

I was wondering about going smaller. Does your sz 10s crease a lot or not?

Honestly I haven't worn them too many times yet but i would expect them to crease. They are made to crease. That how you know they are broken in and most comfortable.

I agree. Break them in. And for the guy who said they are bulky... So is every 5 ever made. Tie them tight to make them less bulky. Also as you wear them the padding will flatten out

 

[the docster]

All the dudes around my area are beasting for these.

Hopefully I won't have to put too much work in.

 

[madamimadam]

Rip Hamilton is such a cornball.

lol @ anyone who bought presales of these. Idiots just keep buying into the hype.
