today we have a very interesting video something that i have always loved talking
about when it comes to pes and general releases the differences between the two
and i'm not just talking about styles cuts and materials but price
so sit back grab your popcorn kick your feet up and let's go ahead and get into this video
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you being if you did not

things first for those people that don't know what a pe is it is also known as a player exclusive
some people call it a player edition but that is this shoe right here on this side a gr is
a general release that's this shoe over here and that's the sneaker that came out to the public and
this is the sneaker that came out exclusively to the players or the athletes or whatever it may be
related to that topic in this instance this pair is set to resemble the fab 5 basketball team of
michigan and for all of my basketball heads i'm sure you already know who the fab 5 is now there
are a couple different variations of the michigan air jordan 5 that have came out for the players
over the past few years i'll try to get those other pairs as well to give you guys a review but
for today's video we're gonna be comparing yellow for yellow michigan from michigan gr versus pe
all those different things and i'm gonna go over the styles custom materials and show you guys all
the differences some similarities what people think about this shoe you're going to be very
very surprised on the poll when i asked everybody which one they liked more so i'm going to give
you guys a quick rundown of each shoe individually that way you can see a full in-depth look at both
of them and then when i compare them side by side you'll have a pretty good understanding of what
i'm talking about starting with the gr you have your classic air jordan 5 outsole with a navy vibe
right here on the center in the toe of the foot and a navy jumpman here on the ball of the foot
on the midsole you have a matte navy paint with a yellow speckled shark teeth here on the side all
white air unit and a fully yellow suede upper all the stitching is yellow as well on the pods around
the eyelids you have navy blue here on these three hits navy laces and a navy mesh on the tongue
and the sides with the clear net on top of that looking at the sock liner you have this kind of
like carbon fiber look type material and it's all navy blue print on the inside of there behind the
tongue and on the inside of the sock liner taking a look at the insole you have a similar pattern
as the sock liner it's all yellow with the navy blue jumpman on the front of the tongue you have
your classic air jordan 5 tom with the navy blue 3m reflective material and a navy blue jumpman
stitched in the center for the lace lock you have a clear and navy blue and yellow lace lock behind
the tongue on both of the sneakers it says inspire upside down stitched and then on the back of the
sneaker you have this patch right here stitched on both sides with the zigzag stitch and this is
similar to what we have seen on previous jordan team stuff from the past way way back in the day
or as you can remember the aerodroid oregon 5 has the same thing on the back of these as well
the gr version not the pe okay now taking it to the fab five looking at the outsole you have an
all-black outsole on the rubber on the center and the toe of the foot with a smoke black translucent
outsole here with a yellow jumpman in the ball of the foot going to the midsole you have your same
all black kind of a semi-gloss vibe right here with the paint and then you have a yellow speckle
here on the shark teeth looking at the air unit you have all yellow air unit and on the upper
you have the same all yellow upper but this one is actually different when it comes to the shape of
the shoe and the material on the sneaker later in the video when i set these side by side you'll be
able to see the differences between the tones and the yellow this one's a lot more of a high yellow
and other ones more kind of a goldish bronze this type of yellow on the general release similar
to the other pair you have all yellow stitch all around the sneaker but this time you have a yellow
mesh on the side of the foot with a clear net and then you have a black mesh on the tongue with the
clear net looking at the sock liner you have the same exact type of material as the previous pair
but this one is going to be in all black here on the sock liner and behind the tongue now looking
at the install on this shoe it's a little bit different on the left foot it says ncaa final four
1992 with the michigan logo underneath that and then on the right foot it says ncaa final four
1993 with the michigan logo underneath that another difference as well on the back of the
tongue on the right foot it says the victors and on the back of the tongue on the left foot it says
hail 2. this pair is a little bit different as well on the front end you have a black 3m material
with a big m stitched in all black as well looking at the laces you have a pair of black laces and
an additional pair of navy blue laces with the yellow tip and then on the lace lock you have
a semi-translucent smoked black lace lock with a black lock on the center of that and last but not
least going to the back of the shoe you have the fab five logo here with the hand on the back of
both of the sneakers so after taking a little bit deeper of a look into both of the sneakers how do
you feel about the two which one do you like more drop a comment down below in the comment section
one thing that i can say is i wish these could have almost been fused together into one sneaker
because i love the aspect of the navy blue hits on this sneaker and they went with the all black and
i understand they had the things where they were the black socks and different stuff like that but
i'm just saying like it's you gotta have the navy it's michigan right like the yellow and
the blue like i feel like it's a must like i don't know maybe i'm wrong but i just feel like
this colorway this aspect of the sneaker i think is low-key just a little bit better now like i
was saying earlier in the video as well when i put these two sneakers side by side hopefully you can
see on the camera these have more of a high yellow vibe when it comes to the materials on the suede
and the colorway of it and then if you look at these ones it's kind of more goldish more
bronze when it comes to the material on the gr pair so obviously we know this was a general
release and a lot of people had their opportunity to get their hands on this pair when i saw this
shoe was coming out i really wanted to get it i tried to get it on release date and i didn't hit
but i had a feeling people were gonna sleep on the shoe and what happened the price went down
next thing you know the price keeps dropping and people are starting to sell the shoe for around
130 to 140 bucks i got lucky and found these out the outlet and got them for like 110 dollars so
when i saw him i knew it was an immediate cop because i actually really like this shoe this
shoe came out around 2019 and it's been a couple years now and it's now currently worth around 300
on the market when it comes to this shoe we know it is very very limited exclusive to players only
coaching staff and other people alumni whatever it may be but as we know there's not that many pairs
made now when it comes to pricing on this shoe we're talking about anywhere from six thousand
to eight thousand dollars for this pair of shoes if it is brand new depending on the size as well
there's a lot of different factors but as you can see there's a huge price difference between these
two shoes and like i said earlier when it comes to colorway and everything in the scheme of the
sneaker i wish they could have fused a couple things brought the m to this sneaker put the
fab five on the back of here kept this exact colorway maybe switch the materials but i'm
not mad at these materials on this one as well and i think it would have created the perfect
five but we didn't get what we get and i think honestly for a 300 sneaker and a six or seven
eight thousand dollar sneaker whatever you price it at i would definitely go for the 300 version
it's quite hilarious because people want to have all these pes and spend all this money but i try
to tell people all the time not every pe is dope or there are very valid options that are similar
to the pe that they made on purpose as we all know jordan brand will make an exclusive version tweak
it a little bit and give the public something else that way they have something similar to what they
really want create that demand create that hype and then sell you the second option but i think
right here with these two the second option is a really good option so this sparks my next question
that i posted on instagram which one of these do you like more the michigan pe or the michigan gr
if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can participate in the polls and see
all the results here on the video you're gonna be surprised by this one look what the people said 44
of the people chose the michigan pe and 56 of the people chose the gr now either people didn't know
the value of the sneaker and that probably wasn't the reason why they chose this sneaker because a
lot of people usually are money driven but i think overall concept of the sneaker the michigan gr
is really really fire bro people are sleeping on this shoe i think if this was more limited
and it came out i feel like for some reason when they do these pes and they recreate them and then
everybody wants the original version but then they don't want to get the pe and i'm like bro
especially like the cp-13 like that was almost exact mirror besides the structure of the sneaker
and the materials besides that it was essentially the same shoe and that was like a four thousand
dollar sneaker and then people wanted to spend like 180 bucks on the pe so i think it's kind of
weird how that dynamic works sometimes but this is a prime example of all these different things if
you find the right shoe the price doesn't matter don't worry about spending eight thousand dollars
to look cool or whatever it may be just to have a certain shoe to say that you got it because you
could easily go buy a 300 shoe and be perfectly fine with dope styles cuts materials and a nice
colorway and be able to walk out the door and save a bunch of money so overall again let me know what
you think down below in the comment section i'm not mad at having this shoe at all all i'm saying
is i know that it's cool to have this one as well and i'm not knocking this one and showing you guys
that hey you don't have to have these shoes all the time you can get these and be perfectly fine
and don't worry about what people say because at the end of the day you're the one that has
to spend the money so i appreciate you for tuning in as always and for next video stay tuned because
