Jordan V Burgundy - August 29, 2023

[vinnuendo]

Damn we finally have actual pictures. Feel like these have been a rumor for 5 years now. I'd be in for a pair at not retail.

$225 steep but I can’t wait to finally have these again

The suede doesn’t look as dark or rich I know it’s early but I hope that isn’t the case

I knew something was off about these. The midsole needs to be a darker shade of burgundy and the suede needs to be slightly darker too. They still look good but the lack of contrast between the shades of the midsole and suede is pretty apparent compared to the 2006 release though.

Brings be back to the ‘06 era. Good times

They look darker on the new release too imo. When compared to this pic I think that the burgundy is lighter all around on the newer pair where it looks darker and richer on the pair you posted.

Is it me or is the toe strip of the midsole a darker shade of burgundy than the rest of the midsole? It doesn't look uniform to me.

I was right. The toe is darker than the rest of the midsole for some reason. Regardless though, I'm still in for these but kinda bummed about that.

It might be a little, but it kinda looks like the suede is just brushed all weird on the toe more then anything.

I'm on the fence for these, August 12th is the date for these now. Gonna be out of town that weekend.

Oh no I mean like the actual midsole. I tried to highlight it to make it more clear what I'm referring to. The toe of the midsole is a darker shade than the rest of the midsole.

And I really don’t get why it would be different tones

Is it just the images at times, or the lighting? Maybe it could happen in real life depending on the lighting, but I think I'll be fine with any minor variations. Maybe.

I did some color-picking online and in paint, and the color variation if you choose the picture with the left backside heel visible with the toe of the right visible, was actually reversed (toebox was lighter than the heel).

Honestly the $225 price sucks more than any minor color variation. But I did have some shoes I got off NDC that looked to be all one (near monochromatic) color online, and then irl it was two different colors. Didn't look bad but it threw off the monochromatic look I was wanting, so I returned them to Nike.

Also, fakes vs non? Who knows. Looks pretty noticeable material/colorwise here

So is it lighting? Differences in material like the toebox has more protection on it for wear and is a different compound? Is it outside lighting? Fakes? B Grades? Guess we'll see. $240 ish after taxes sucks.

 

[vinnuendo]

They're different materials that reflect light differently. So the burgundy rubber looks different than the burgundy midsole paint

I hadn't considered that. I forgot the midsole on 5s isn't one solid piece. The outsole, which the toe is connected to, is rubber while the actual painted midsole portion is the usual polyurethane foam or whatever. So it makes sense they'd look a bit different depending on lighting but still, hopefully it doesn't stand out too much in hand. Having a two tone midsole would be kinda wack.
