top 5 release for 2020. Copped via shock drop and copped pairs later for slightly above retail. Def a gem.

Might be a top 5 Jordan retro in all honesty. These were great.

Solid retro, but not even close to top 5.

 

[rbk93]

Retro wouldn't know. But wouldn't argue if anyone felt its a top 5 Jordan CW.

Top five retros ever:

1. 1999 black cement 4
2. 1999 white cement 4
3. 2000 fire red 5
4. 2000 black Metallic 5
5. 2018 concord 11

We need a list of top retro+ CWs.

They did these very well. I think my biggest issue was getting a pair that didnt arrive with a box that lost in a fight to Tyson. My least favorite V and first time copping this colorway.

Since I've had them, I've grown to like them a lot more.

As we know, IV retros continue to suck.​

​

4s will always be garbage. Mass produced trash at this point.​

Hell Yeah! NOW WE'RE GETTING SOME WHERE!!!!

Doubled up on these and still haven't gotten to wear them yet. Lovely shoe though. By far the best 5 retro we've gotten (imo) since the "remaster" initiative began. I love my '16 Metallics but they fall short to these when it comes to shape.

I got my second pair of these recently, only paid $189 Deadstock

So, after reading this thread I had to Un-DS.

 

[iTookanL]

Here’s my pair

 

[BennyIll22]

Here’s my pair

That's about how mine look at this point as well. I've worn them quite a bit. I have another pair still DS.

I don't know what it is about the V and this particular colorway, but it's one Jordan I think actually looks good/cool as it yellows like this.

As long as it's not orangish brown.

That clean vintage look.

 

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

Do you gentlemen like the Grapes with the vintage look?

 

[rafbuddy]

You mean like these lol

 

[Girl Thats Jules]

You mean like these lol

2000s had the worst netting they turn GOLDEN yellow.

Like when you been drinking sodas everyday for a week straight.

The only complaint that I really even have on these is the ankle collar.. I wish they’d slim it down a little closer to OG pairs. I guarantee those were comfier like that, people with the OffWhite 5s I bet would say it’s better that way.

The 1990 ankle collar is nothing like what’s been on every retro. I don’t mind the ankle pods I just wish they trimmed it all down.

Yes the last metallic retro was especially the example of what you refer to

2000 was the best year for 5s.
99-2000 4s and 5s were borderline protros. It was a steep decline until recently but we’re still way off from this 22 years later.

The tongues and the ankle padding were so much sleeker on the 2000s. I lowkey wanna get another pair of beat up fire reds and jack the midsole to do a swap on my 2000s.
