Nike Air Jordan Retro Metallic V - 7/23/16

[airthompson]

These comments always get me. The 2011 pair is still easy to find, and so are the 06/07 pair

TRUE.. I THINK SOME FOLKS DONT WANT TO PAY THAT RESALE PRICE .. EVEN THOUGH ITS DAMN NEAR WHAT JB WILL CHARGE FOR THESE LOL

I get that. However these could easily could be found at steal prices.

^na not abt the price, me personally I want a new, clear/blue sole pair

07's were had em in HS, seen my boy copped the 2011 and I passed didnt like how linty the shoe got

but a DS 2007 pair is 8 years old, and the sole is either pissed yellow or cloudy white, im good

 

[frenchblue23]

Never understood the 2011 hate either, I like my pair.

2011 pair is not as sleek looking as the previous retros. I miss the emphasis on the lining when the heel part meets the rest of the shoe.

More likely having to do with the wrong material being used, I know it's so cliche to keep beating the dead horse here with the "Durabuck" talk but Durabuck looks 1000000x better.

Fair enough. If these come out, i'm selling my 11 pair for the low to finance these.

 

[jmanlondontown]

In my opinion durabuck is s**t. I prefer the materials used on the oreo 5,s if im honest. To me if feels more premium and i like the way it changes shade. Durabuckdoesnt do that and its also easy to scuff. When they scuff its horrible too. Trust me im old enough to remember, i had a pair of metalics when they first came out infact they were my first ever pair of jays. They started to crack on me after about 8-10 solid wears. I was so disapointed

 

[killersherbert]

Bro on the cool **** the oreo 5s they fade quick Duran on the other hand keeps that black color.

They're ok, not as bad as the VI varsity red. They're a lot better with durabuck.

i can't believe this.

What a joke.

Theyre going to retro everything with the Nike Air now.

 

[eatmyjordans]

V's are usually fire their aren't any models that make me smh with a sour face. I've been trying to scoop these for a minute now without success on eBay.Either the price has been to high or they looked like fakes.With that being said I'm in.

What's wrong with Nike rereleasing shoes in they're original

he's prob a butt hurt OG who only thinks a hand full of people should hold on to unwearable and crumbling OGs. He prob doesn't care that others want the OGs to even if they didn't have them

....well yeah. People have been craving for the NA to come back for years, and Nike's patiently waited and baited at every opportunity. Now they're taking a chance to pounce. And why would they not? They're a company based around making profit.

 

[psyntifik1]

So in for these my 2007's are getting to that breaking point!! But they probably just need some TLC

I see what you did there.

 

[Aquamanjay_]

I'll never forget how salty I was when I bought a pair of 2000 Infrareds; the paint chipped, the bubble fogged up, and the Durabuck came off with just a touch. It's time JB remaster 3-6 especially the metallics, Infrareds, and the Bred 4s. Its been 15 years, come on now

 

[monosylabikal]

Holy ****

i'm sayin tho

 

[el platano]

If they do drop next year, then it's only appropriate that the drop fire red fives as well.  2016 is still 52 days away and it's sounding pretty promising after the first couple of months.  Keeping fingers crossed

 

[kintan]

Hoping they drop mid-year

 

[Mister Meaner]

The first pair of Js I really lusted after back in 99. Wore these everyday to summer camp haha.

I bought the 2013 fire reds and returned them the next day. Ish was horrible. One little detail I was unhappy about was the disappearance of a small piece of padding at the base of the tongue (between the tongue and toebox). Can't even comment on the comfort though.

With all that said, I hope these get special consideration in terms of comfort and materials.

Were the 2013 Fire Red 5s that bad?

yeah i got rid of my black tongue pair because the leather was trash. it was stiff and had a plastic feel. i hate that leather because it creases terribly
