Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Fire Red' 2013 Vol: No 23

[grapeape]

How do these run in Sz? Don't come with the true to sz answers please. I normally have to have +0.5 Sz up on the 11s, but most Jordan's run just right for me without having to Sz up. I would appreciate it.

LOL don't come with the true to size answers?? THESE FIT TTS THOUGH hahah. I wear a size 10 and these, as well as all 5's, fit me the best out of all Jordan's for my true size.

I am really liking the new pics that are coming up. This mold makes me feel just fine that I beat my CDP's into the ground. I prefer the 23 on the side, but other than that I will take these ALL DAY!

I always have to get a whole size down when I get a pair of 5s, the always have fit me big.

IDK I just like the 23. Granted Im not OG but still.

I've always wanted the closest thing to what Jordan wore so, even as PE's, I adjusted to the "23."

That dunk over Orlando Woolridge(RIP) was nasty

I believe these shoes are TTS. The last 5 run was the last time I got TTS kicks from JB

Hey GrapeApe,

Is that your in-hand pic? Have these started to hit retailers? I hope so, because that picture looks effin amazing. I"m actually shocked. Even the tongue looks nice and high...

No it was a picture I got off twitter, but it had the caption, "got these in our store already."  I also thought they looked amazing in that pic and it really got me pumped for these again.  The mold is just straight on point and you said exactly the first thing that I saw in that pic....THE TONGUE!  I loved that old tall tongue on the OG's, which was missing on every retro since 2000's, and to me that was kind of THE feature of these shoes, the big, tall 3M tongue.  My hands are much less tanned, as I am 100% Caucasian

Pretty sure that is my friends picture. They have them at most Finishlines and other stores already.

That toe box though..

Future D,

You are known and respected on NT, especially in the JB threads. Why even legitimize these comments with a response??

Anyway, lemme see those DLR via iphone pics tomorrow. Peace

Got that call from Meth today, I am sorry folks.

Someone got under my skin, and I reacted without thinking.

My apologizes to the guy and the forum.

I'll take a little break from the site, be back after the weekend.

Thanks Meth.

If only JB can do something about those yellowing parts.

 

[engineer]

i got a magazine ill check it for u but im pretty sure he wore one with no 23 before just like how he wore the mars fire reds and the regular fire red 4s 

That can't be a serious statement.

 

[ARK]

Has anyone heard of other color ways for the 5 this year? I saw this Hydro 5 retro sandal and wondered if this was going to be one of them.

 

[polobimmer]

picked up the slides....cant wait for the kicks

 

[Fadess_Kicks]

Can't wait to get my sz.11

[j5]

Anyone gonna cop these because of this? (A little bit for me.......... )

 

[riceeater916]

Still have mine

Overall impression (without trying them on) : The "leather" is identical to the WC IV, kinda hard plastic like. It feels really solid and decently made surprisingly with substantial ankle padding. The shape is ok but does have that banana toe box kinda (sz in the pics are of a 10.5). The box is a flip top and not flimsy. The blue soles are not as blue in person and look more clear. Im actually impressed with them, not thrilled but I've seen worse recently. But anyways heres the crappy iPhone pics. And if you were wondering, my store doesn't get everything in the way of retros but we got 15 pairs of these.

Thanks for the writeup 23rdWonder...I'm coppin' regardless, though I'm disappointed in the pleather but ahh well...It's as close as we can get nowadays...
