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

[whiteylikejs]

I've yet to hear a reason why the og durabuck is better than the buck we've been getting.

it looks nicer, in MY opinion. It had a certain richness to it in look and feel and it is more malleable meaning the creases weren't as harsh. But you do you. Go on with your peach fuzzbuck...

I also agree with you. The OG was plush to the touch. It reminds of how bed sheets have a thread count. The OG was a high 800 thread count while this new age stuff is a 100 thread count.... Although some releases are nice to the touch... they are not even close to the OG.

 ​Those photos says a lot about the OGs. Its obvious the materials were way better than what we're getting today. Welp! They better come hard with these materials come July.

Yeah, the Oreo 5's are just ok at best. I appreciate the fact that Nike made so many of them and at least they had a different material than others like the Fire Reds and Grapes (Like good Lord the 2013 Jordan 5's were a bad time all around ) , but that does nothing to save them as far as colorways go. Not saying that they're the worst Jordan 5 i've ever seen, but they're nothing to write home about either. I remember that numerous people were angry that we got the Oreo V's for Black Friday instead of the Black Metallics and I think it's perfectly understandable why, because the former simply isn't as nice as the latter.

its because the metallics came out 2 years before. Idk why anyone actually thought they would drop twice in 2 years

Chill with the false info

The white and black 9s came out in 2008 and 2010. At the end of the day business is business

thats not false info buddy. And the CDP were double pack releases so of course they would come out again with the next wave of 9s as a stand alone general release. Nice try though. Besides the Chicagos or even Bred 1s, JB has yet to do a single(1 pair of shoes) general release in two years time.

Damn, lookin' at that list... Makes me realize that if anyone misses out this September, you might as well wait until the next release. Repped @617collector, for not using the term "Bred".

gr and special edition limited release. Damn bro, you're really trying hard

As i said, JB has not made it a habit to do a general release for the same shoe in a 2 year window. This doesn't count packs our limited/outlet/special occasion shoes, which is why it wouldn't have made sense for Jb to release the metallics in 2013, unless it had any of the attributes i just mentioned.

I'm done wasting thread space over a comment you clearly don't get.

Go take a nap AirSak

 

[marztharealist]

Hopefully the 3M is at least like this...

As for the Durabuck, I wish we could get that smooth OG Durabuck. But, if we get the material used on the Black Supreme 5's, I'll be satisfied.

The Black and Metallic Silver 5s that you have in your post are not ashy, that's the material (original durabuck). Remember durabuck is partially synthetic, hence the look.​

 ​

I didn't say anything was wrong with the current durabuck, I listed original durabuck>current durabuck>nubuck>suede. Which means it's pretty good material but the original is better. ​

 ​

CLAWD!!!​

 ​

God that ashy-ness is atrocious!!! ​

 ​

 

 ​

Man I'm glad I struck out on these 3 years ago... They look like ashy grapes at the grocery store, in the produce section.​

 ​

 ​

JB is straight up wrong with for that ish, for real. Durabuck on them would've made them perfect.​

 ​

Repped @AirSakuragi, I didn't know they were that damn ashy...​

 ​

Jesus!!!​

I hope the Durabuck is decent quality, but the ashiness problem never bothered me as much as various model's shape problems.

I am pretty interested to see if JB will include the leather heel among the remaster features of certain V's and VI's

^This.

There's no reason to call them "OG" anything, if they don't at least make that change. They didn't fix the superior butchering of my favorite model, the IV's. So I don't think we should hold our breath @Zephyr1983.

 

[Aquamanjay_]

I agree M marztharealist . These early pairs are making me nervous.

I'm holding out hope for the infrareds remaster. They at least tried back in 2000 and in 2006(dmp) to get the og look.

What's wrong with the new IV's?

 

[marztharealist]

2000 pair

I agree also @jaylaw15, the 1999/2000 Retro was a thing of beauty. I'd be satisfied if we got an exact replica of that version. Hopefully they fix the tongue also, & make it bigger, with more padding... It was thin, & god awful on the 2013 retro.

2000 was thinner padding than most retros actually. Still dunks on the OGs and 2006 by a longshot.

 

[dankenstien88]

Yeah, tongues on the 00's were thinner than the 06+ for sure. Part of that may be because the tongues on the 00 were more pliable. 00s used a flexible reflective coated textile, whereas the 06 and up models use a much stiffer reflective reflective material that acts almost like a shell.

As for the upper material... If they look anything like the CC Sports pictures posted above, I'll be satisfied.

 

[maxmaxjordan23]

Passing on Everything except maybe White/Red Low XI's to get at least 3 pairs, maybe 4. My Top 5 Jordan's are 4>3>5>13>11  Don't really care for anything else
