so with that being said let's go ahead and crack these things open oh yeah so
here we have it the Air Jordan 5 fire rate with the Nike Air Broadband
anticipating and waiting for this shoe for solo it's finally here starting with
the box we have an all-black upper with a red Jumpman logo similar to your
classic air jordan 5 box that they have been doing reminiscing with the og style
on the air jordan 5 boxes back in the day in the early 90s and different
things like that so with the tab we have here air jordan 5 retro true red fire
red black size 13 got your style code number and everything like that
retail 200 bucks as you open the box you have your cement print all around there
then you have your classic black plastic paper here and then the shoe oh we got
this shoe so before we get started into the video I will be using the retro Air
Jordan 5 black metallic to compare the shapes and the cut and everything to see
how well they resemble to the newer firered version starting with your
outsole you have your classic air jordan 5 outlaw ice blue pods normally they're
kind of clear but they're starting to go with the ice blue style here on the
retros you got your air jordan Jumpman logo here in red your classic air jordan
5 nike branding here on the mid-foot everybody knows the retros have the
jordan instead of the nike they kept out oh gee with this I really love that part
of the shoe making our way up to the midsole you have your classic air jordan
5 molded midsole here with the red hit with the shark teeth and then all black
all around their white hit on the inside of the foot as well then you have a
black toe cap with a black stitch everything is very similar to the og so
far obviously it's a newer version with the norm old but what I can say is I'm
liking it so far also another thing that I really
love is the air bubble is kind of an off-white not really just pure white and
it's got that kind of vintage vibe inside of it so I'm diggin that as well
now taking it to the upper of the shoe this is one thing that I was very very
particular about when I saw photos on the internet before these had came out
because I didn't want them to be like the previous fiery eyes that we have
seen over in 2013 the leather on those were trashed and if I seen these retros
come out with that same type of leather I would have been very mad to see that
happen because this is supposed to be like the og style so I hope that they do
really well with the leather overall touching the leather filling it it feels
pretty good it feels pretty solid it's a lot more soft than I thought it would be
it feels better in hand and it does look in images so that's another plus side I
feel like the toe cap is a little big right here I think that's more closer to
the original cut compared to the mm right row but we will see that in the
comparison a little bit later in the video
again you have an all-white upper fully laced in leather and then you have a red
nike air hit here on the back of the heel bra this is so clean nostalgic
memories all those different things I'm so happy to have these right now working
our way to the clear Nets and the mesh behind it that's also white and clear
and then you have white pods on the eyelids white laces white mesh and then
that takes you up to the tongue the tongue looks pretty large I'm not gonna
lie to you but we will see once I get this thing unless if I can because it is
kind of booby-trapped up in here speaking of that looking at the pool tab
it's got the Nike on there not the Jumpman logo okay oh gee vibes a Nike on
the red Nike on the clear part okay they do anything they got the black insole
with the Nike Air on the insole as well I think they're doing well so far to say
the least this is a retro I understand it will never be as good as the og but
so far I'm giving them a thumbs up so yeah just overall initially looking at
this tongue it does feel large and in charge it's pretty high it's pretty tall
it's pretty wide I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that part I know the
newer retros they have been getting really colossal when it comes to the
tongue size actually speaking about that let's just go ahead and pass it over to
my guy now he's gonna show you the difference between the 2020 and a 2000
retro Thank You DJ I appreciate the you know the opportunity to do this on
your channel i truly appreciate it but anyway guys today we're gonna take a
quick look at the comparison we're gonna start with the tongue first we're gonna
take a look at the 1999 Pitts as you can see the tongue is it's actually pretty
good it's not too big it's not too small it's pretty much perfect now we'll take
a look at the fire at five Pitt as you can see I believe personally it's way
too big now I don't know some people might like that some people may not
anyway while we're on the tongue you might as well take a look at the back of
it as you can see on the back of the 20/20 pad you have the air jordan
flipped upside down to where you might think it'd be the same thing on the 1999
Pitts but no it's actually right-side up on the 99 pair so that's another
difference between the two alright guys taking a look at the mesh
on the mid-foot as you can see 1999 pair is a little bit more yellow than the
2020 pair age is a fact they're in these two sneakers one has yellowing and one
doesn't personally I actually like the yellowing lace locks are really not much
of a difference as you can see the lace lock is has Nike on the clear part as
well as the lace lock itself and on the 1999 pair that you know that doesn't
that doesn't they don't have that as you can see they have just Nike on the clear
part but no no Nike on the actual lace lock itself anyway guys taking a look at
the back of the shoe as you can see both of them have nike hair embroidered the
branding on the 2020 pair is a little bit bigger than the 1999 pill that's a
difference between the two as well as for the overall shape on the 1999 pair I
you know I like it you know it's the closest to the og to me now you can see
on the 1999 pair it actually has a widow's peak which on the 20/20 pair it
doesn't have that it's just you know round it's just a round cut this is more
like an oval cut all right now taking a look at the outsole everything is
replicated from the 1999 pair to the 2020 pair except for the aging the
yellow is a bit of a yellow tint to it anyway guys that is the comparison you
know that's the comparison to the two I hope you guys enjoyed dj1 thank you for
letting me you know showcase this on your channel i truly appreciate it but
back to you brother thank you again for that comparison if you guys haven't
already go ahead and check him out I'll have his link down below for his channel
in the description but let's go ahead and finish up this video let's compare
these to the metallic fives and we'll talk about a little bit more of the
history of the Air Jordan 5 fire and I'll give you guys my opinions at
the end okay so one big thing that I'm noticing so far right now is the toe cap
like I was talking about before it's pushed a little bit farther forward and
the cut of it is a little bit smaller when it comes to the mudguard around the
toe cap as you can see here on the black metallic 5 the retro again it's just a
little bit larger and that top part of the foot is a little bit smaller as well
this is a preference thing me personally I like the black metallic 5 cut a little
bit more than this new retro but again that's another preference thing just
wanted to stick that out for you guys so you guys can see the difference between
the cuts and then the materials are obviously different you have a new buck
here and then a leather here overall besides that I think that's one big
thing that really sticks out the rest of it looks pretty much the same I don't
see anything yeah this always pretty much the same to me nike air all that
stuff on the back and that sprains my next question which one do you like more
the black metallic 5 or the fire red 5 me personally I like the black metallic
5 more because I know I can beat this up it's gonna last me a little bit longer
but I know the fire Ram 5 is a classic it's a hard one to pass up on you gotta
have it in your collection type sneaker so I'm not mad at this one either don't
get me wrong but if I had to only pick one I would definitely still go with the
black metallic so just to touch up on this sneaker in the past of it and
everything like that we had the 2000 retro then we had the 2008 retro in the
CDP pack and then we had a 2013 retro with the leather was terrible and then
also there's a big misconception between the fire at 5 in the fire at 5 what some
people like to pair with the red midsole some people like to pair with the black
midsole they are slightly different than color different things like that and me
personally I like to pair with the red midsole just a little bit more but this
one's just a classic it's hard to pass up on and again that's just a preference
thing for a lot of people let me know which fire rated 5 you like the most
do you like the one with the RAM insole or do you like the one with the black
midsole drop a comment down below and let me know what you think about the so
overall my final thoughts on this sneaker I think that it is a very dope
shoe it's a classic it's og it's a must-have shoe in your collection I used
to have every single retro not the og but every single retro
of the fire raid 5 what I got these in my hands I was I was really happy now
I've been able to get these three in my collection so it's pretty cool to have
all three components the differences in times and all SS with
the shoes with the red midsole and the black midsole I ended up getting rid of
all of them because I knew I knew I knew that these were gonna end up coming back
out and those were getting yellow that we're getting old the leather all those
different things mm hair was bound to crumble and fall
apart on me so I just know it would be a wiser decision for me to sell those
shoes get rid of them and then get these restocks so I ended up picking up three
pairs of these and I'm very happy to have these in my collection so when you
ask me what do I think about the shoe I think it's a cop I don't really care
about the resale price because again I got them for myself to keep for the long
haul I'm sure the price will go up over time because it's an original colorway
you just got to give it a little bit time you know down the road they might
be hidden for 350 400 depending on the situations how many other retros come
after that all those different types of scenarios but again I think this is a
shoe that will never lose its full value and will always be able to at least get
your money back on it you know I'm saying cuz it's it's just so classic is
so iconic you can never go wrong with it was it a cop was it a drop do you think
it was overpriced how do you feel about the leather the materials did you hit on
the shock drop did you get them later down the line on the release last
