Yeah I can careless, more interested in the 4's and MAYBE the 3's. However I am still going to get the retro 5's.
Yeah I am over there and I can careless about the Fear 5's the material used on them looks horrible.
Either you are trolling this thread, or you aren't really in that Fear thread like you say you are. Plenty of people were NOT in love with the Fear 5's before even hearing limited release, me being one of them.

Last time I checked the Fear thread, most people were hating on the V. But that was a week or two ago.
These Fire Reds here are the quintessential V in my opinion. Even though my 06 pair is still in beautiful shape, I wouldn't mind doubling up just because.

Oh I know, but dude was making it seemed like 99% of thread were wanting the V's when it is more like 30% for each pair with 10% just hating the pack completely.

I hope I can scoop a pair, looking at these, they might be underrated and regret may set in for some in the not too distant future.

I think these will be a bit more hyped than the FR 3s. For some reason, a lot of people despise the FR 3s and call it the weakest OG colorway and hate the shoe.

Basically yes...most everyone wants the Fear 5's in the Fear pack thread. Simply go to the thread before posting useless crap here.
But we put this to bed, and other people keep bringing it up so good job on perpetuating the argument now into a second day in this thread.
I want to grab these black tongues but it's looking like quality is poor.

Totally wrong. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, 80% of the people are going nuts for the fear 5's in that thread.

I like the over all design, but a part of me still has trouble liking those blue tinted bottoms instead of just regular clear :/

Feel pretty confident about this release. Will be doing the same thing I did for the Fire Red IIIs and Toro Bravo IVs: sneak into the mall through the employee entrance while everyone else is waiting outside, thus being first in line...Will be doing this for the rest of the releases.
Until the catch you and ban you from the mall, lol. That's an excellent idea tho. I would try that but the champs employees to to the doors and give out gaurenteed tickets to the people in line a my mall.
Yeah, I was hoping these were gonna be made of better materials but it looks like the same quality as the grapes, no frills. Kinda dissapointed. The Laney's are a nice tumbled leather. I know these aren't supposed to be tumbled, but I was hoping for a better quality leather.

^Yeah you are definitely going to have to try since a lot of people skipped the Metallic Fire Reds and the FR IIIs for these. It is a more hyped shoe.

For those of you wanting these, production numbers are looking fairly high, so don't stress too much.
You should be fine.
Wear your shoes, kids.

Lol, they can't ban me. I work at the mall. How it works is, everyone waits outside, then when it hits 7:00, mall security opens the mall doors for mall walkers and everyone walks over to the Finish Line and forms a line there. As long as I'm inside mall premises not a minute before 7:00, they don't care. I just stand by the door and stare at my watch. As soon as my watch tells me 7:00:00, I just waltz right in and form a line myself. If your Champs does guaranteed tickets, I'd imagine it would work the same way. Find out what your mall rules are and learn the employee entrances.

Same I always like the Fear Vs. But I was late to the bandwagon since I wasnt paying attention to the fear pack thread. Always hated the IIIs and my opinion kept flip flopping for the IVs. I just decided they are nice but not copworthy.
Good luck to everyone who wants these and the fear pack

Have any of you heard anything about how these are holding up/the quality out the box? Some of these newer JB releases are kinda sketchy on that kind of stuff...

I hope this is the case. Too old to be lining up and such.
