Air Jordan V retro OG - Nike Air - Fire Red/Silver tongue - May 2, 2020

[rainking]

My BSTN pair has shipped and FedEx tracking says delivery tomorrow. Pretty damn funny I can get shoes from Germany to L.A. quicker than the majority of U.S. stores can deliver to people in the same country.

My Hibbets order will be here Friday and my 2 orders from DTLR still show as Unfulfilled, but I got an email for both orders this morning saying they are working on getting them shipped out. So fingers crossed

U.S. stores hired sloths from the San Diego Zoo.

I got through on FNL in size 8. Kinda surprised. Usually my size sells out fast. I got email confirmation already.

New to NT but J5 was my first Jordan in HS as I got a pair of grapes when 6’s were already out cause fam couldn’t afford and got em on disco. I really wanted to like this shoe but just can’t. It is so much more bulky compared to the streamlined slim og and 99 retro and fits more like a boot not to mention that tongue. Glad for those that are enjoying as leather seems to be on point and if I never had the og wouldn’t have anything to compare it to. I did cop the 2016 metallic and they are humongous next to my 99’s.

I hate to hear that. My first J was the black tongue 5 so I know where you’re coming from. I was in 3rd grade and my parents wouldn’t buy me the 6 because I didn’t “need” a new pair. They didn’t realize the passion I have for the shoes. I spent nearly 2 years in my 5s. And I loved the hell out of em. I’m glad the tongue is black so shouldn’t have to worry about a retro making it shiny.

I hear ya though. I really miss the quality of the OGs. For what they’re charging now the new retros should be quality. Or at least a faithful replica in every other regard. But Gentry is a moron and has always tried his best to hurt sales to a shoe that sells itself and ironically gets praise from the industry lmao

Why is everyone acting surprised lmao. My shock drop pair just shipped yesterday...

Give it 2 weeks until you see tracking movement

2 of my pairs from FTL shipped the same day I ordered on May 3.

[frank 7he t4nk]

FNL was so clutch

 

[HomelessTrill_Goldie]

Wifey pair from DSG . I’m jelly lol

 

[nuclear1990]

What's annoying is I got through on FNL but my bank kicked it. Didn't send me a text or email. Just denied the ****.

Even though I literally used that same card to buy something else this morning from FNL.

I mean it makes no sense.

13

Maybe that's why?? I know big sizes sometimes fly.

 

[ozboi]

3 pairs that I ordered internationally on Saturday is supposed to arrive tomorrow and Thursday.... while Footaction hasn’t even shipped yet....

Big sizes always fly, every major release is a QS

 

[Bert.]

My tracking still stuck on waiting to get picked up from FNL

 

[forest hills]

Just gonna double up on GOAT at this point unless I can actually manage to catch a restock. Hate footlocker and I dunno if I'll get lucky on other sites or not.

I couldn't agree more as far as the quality and what we actually get compared to what we are paying for these shoes also considering what it costs them to make. I mean look at the Jordan 1's.

The Hyper Royal's are a perfect example. A colorway no one wanted but I get a pair in hand and was blown away by the quality and how soft they are. Then I get a pair of the Obsidian's ( a colorway most wanted ) and while mine were decent, the upper was nowhere near the Hyper Royal's. Not sure why the quality varies so much on Jordan 1's.

Funny you mention the 6's in 3rd grade. The Maroon & White was my very 1st pair back in 6th grade and I was lucky to get them considering my parents didn't make the type of money to afford me luxuries like that. So for me to get a pair was a feeling I'll never forget. It truly felt special and I couldn't wait to rock them. That's probably why I buy as many shoes as I do now. My fiancé thinks it's funny but has never once given me a hard time no matter how many I've purchased in the past. She's definitely a keeper.

Let me correct that. 2 from FNL and 1 pair from FTL shipped same day I ordered May 2 not 3.
