Because they dropped in Jan. 07.

Their minds think Dec 06 is the damn near the same as Jan. 07

I know we cant expect much quality wise from JB nowadays. My main concern was the ash would throw off the color of the metallics. As long as it looks dark and the ashing is manageable, Im content. I destroyed my 06s and I needed these man lol

hey hey now didnt say all that

just said its dark black

meh..theyre not bad. I know youre a advocate for durabuck, but its GONE from air jordans and is never ever ever coming back.

with that said, nubuck looks pretty good on these. trust me, it could have been much much worse.

Thought Durabuck would be better as well but saw these joints and was impressed with the nubuck or suede material! Definitely these version of the metallic V's are dust magnets but the new material decreases or eliminates the creasing. Prefer these better than those crease monster durabucks. Hated these at first but now I'm loving the new material

Can someone list the problems with these compared to the last releases I'm not sure what the issues are but I never had metalic 5s only sunset and green beans

nike air =/= durabuck

You're cool!

and NIKE told me they drop on the 20th

slow down, turbo. just sayin', that's straight from the horse's mouth (like i later stated, i just called them, then had an email exchange, never said i was special, anyone can do that), not some rumor i read on a forum made up from thin air.

 

[Truth]

 Terrible. They look so fake 

 

[polobimmer]

i will be giving the "23" and the jumpman on the back the sharpee treatment

Got mine and I'm pretty shocked that the padding on the ankle area is better than expected.

what are you even talking about?

why did you say "you're cool"?

i wasn't trying to be cool by saying nike told me that, i was trying to clear the air because people kept calling it suede. i wanted people to know if you contact nike or JB directly they will tell you it's nubuck. anyone can call them or have an email exchange, i wasn't trying to be "cool"...

i swear man, people on here are pathetic. always looking for some reason to cut down the next man, one way or another.

 

[hazeee and sn3akers]

^   I heard  the upper part of the shoes are suede after reading an article on this release on Modern Notoriety.This quoted article below is from Modern Notoriety but they could be wrong. I'll be able to tell if it's suede, or nubuck, or both Suede AND Nubuck on the shoes when I cop these this Saturday.
 

"Jordan Brand has published official images of the upcoming Air Jordan 5 Retro Black / Metallic Silver. This Retro 5 was originally set for August 9th but due to the Air Jordan 2.0, They were pushed back to the 20th. The Black / Metallic Silver AJ5 will release at a SRP of $150 and will release on August 20th, 2011. The last time these hit the scene was back in 2007 but there’s been quite a few changes with the material on the upper as it’s been switched with suede. After the Jump, you can check out the official images of the Air Jordan 5 Retro Black / Metallic Silver."

Air Jordan 5 Retro
Black/Varsity Red – Metallic Silver
136027-010
8/20
$150"

 

Also, I have a question does Anyone know how much the OG's of this colorway retailed for when they first released in 1990?

I'm def not as picky as some on these boards,but i saw these in person last week & they are not up to par,I don't know if it's the material,but the shape looks real weird.

 

[pelimpe]

It's both IMO.  The toe box doesn't sit well, pun intended.  It's curves up too much for my taste.

People complained when the 07 dropped. People complain when the 2011 drop. Honestly they are not that much different.
