Kind of wish I got a second pair of these
I thought these were actually a pretty fun little project. The modifications couldn’t be any easier to do. Honestly surprised so many people skipped these over something that can be so easily fixed for about $15 and 20 minutes of time.
The toe shape on these is trash though.
My enthusiasm for buying Jordans is pretty much dead these days.
I still have the pair from 09, and they were one of my most worn pairs until the midsoles started crumbling about a year back.
A decade ago, I used to be able to get almost anything online. Last pair I've managed to get were the What The IVs from late 2019, and I think I must have just got extremely lucky there. Struck out last year on the Red 14s and the Grape 5s, and these got stuck in pending on SNKRs.
This just isn't fun anymore.
Ya. The sneaker lottery. Snkrs is class A trash
Yeah man I cant lie if they weren't so cheap I would not have gotten them. It's a pain in the *** measuring up the holes and stuff buying laces and a hole punch then waiting on everything. Plus the tongue is super fat it's really stupid. They're definitely pretty nice retro compared to most the 2018 releases but the 20 Fire reds demolishes these. I want that black tongue so bad with Nike Air and the 20 Fire red shape
Yeah these were the 2018 special edition pair. I just punched the lace holes and unstiched the tongue from the sides of the shoes. They're really cool but I wouldn't pay the asking price for a DS pair.

AAAAAGRRREEEDD. The toe shape is bad especially compared to the 20 Fire Red.
The toe on these is unfortunately the old shape, but the materials are the best we’ve gotten on any 5 retro in 20 years. Still haven’t worn my pair though they just look too nice
They bad but not as bad as the previous retros. Plus I wasn't going to pass up that price for Nike Air Grape pair. I mean shape on the Metallic 5 is the same as these and I own those too tbh. I wish they didnt retro the best pairs with bubble toes.
ALL of THIS is hilarious, because I STRICTLY came into this thread to say the shape on THESE, was GARBAGE. It's the MAIN reason I PASSED on them.
