today is the day oh my gosh I've been waiting for this package not normally
like I'll just be like okay package coming in the mail but this is the one
where I was like no I woke up in the morning and I was tracking that delivery
and the package oh the package finally came this might be the best package of
the year I mean I know we're only a month and a half in I'm excited to open
this thing up with you guys let's get it
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been
if you did not know by now my name is DJ and this is the DNA show you already
know what the topic is I'm so ready to get into it but if you haven't already
don't forget to hit that subscribe and join the family type a comment down
below and let me know if you are now new to the family if you all to the family
what's up with y'all how y'all doing brah I'm excited to open these things up
but before we start I gotta tell you right now this package came from Nike
meaning I got these from 225 dollars I don't even know what to say right now
literally hitting on sneakers up with this shoe right here obviously knowing
the value and how hard it was to get and everything but I'm happy about that
because now I don't have to worry about going spend a hundred thousand dollars
whatever it may be on a shoe like this because if so I probably wouldn't a body
so let's go ahead and open these things up let's break them down let's do some
comparisons let's talk about the materials and brass let's get into it
and here we have it Air Jordan Pi off white ah so let's go ahead and dive into
this box first because obviously this isn't like your typical Air Jordan five
box yes it has similarities but you can see a lot of holes inside these box on
the top you got three holes on the side three holes on the side and then another
two holes in the back and nothing in the front looks like a basic regular box in
the front there's a little plastic lining right here so you can't stick
your finger through it which is good because that protects the chute and then
also on the sides in the back of the box there's a plastic lining on there as
well so not a bunch of stuff is just gonna be
able to get inside the box so on your off-white dump box you can actually
stick your fingers through the holes and I can cause other things to fall inside
the box as well so I think they were thinking a little bit more ahead and
they probably had some struggles with that box but breath let's open these
things up I know I'm sorry I'm taking so long but I got a cover
all these details oh my gosh this kind of reminds me of the UNC off-white one
where they had the flip up top and then they have the clear plastic and I said
off-white branding on the plastic as well I think that kind of has that vibe
was the newer vibe as well so it's a cool little mix when it comes to the
packaging oh man but before we get started on the review I just want to
reference two different shoes in this one comparing the materials on the
off-white Air Jordan one and then obviously the overall scheme in the
colorway and the color blocking when it comes to the metallic Air Jordan 5 so
that way you guys have understanding of the two shoes that we will be using in
comparison with this off y5 so let's go ahead and get into it starting with the
outside you have a semi translucent smoke whatever you like to call it black
in yellow tint air jordan v outsole with the classic nike branding on the outsole
also matches with the metallic v that you see here
Vergil took a lot of inspiration when it comes to the yellow outlaws from the
original pairs because over time they start to yellow and they have that
vintage vibe so he wanted to use that homage when he had these pairs from back
in the day and then yellowing over the years too now when he owns them so I
feel like that's a dope cool touch for his story and then also giving that
vintage vibe when it comes to an Air Jordan 5 now going into the midsole we
have a cool little touch here it has the same color blocking as the metallic vibe
but the silver is more of a grayish paint and it still has that same cement
print over the shark teeth as well obviously giving it that classic
metallic v vibe you have a similar colored air unit here kind of more
creamy ish off-white as whatever you like to call it and that's also similar
to the 2016 retro as well going to the toe of the foot you can see that is more
of a grayish smokers tent with still a black stitch line compared to the
all-black toe here on the metallic v so I sold my 2006 metallic 5 but on that
pair it has a 23 stitched on the side and these also have a 23 stitched on the
side but it's also dope because they took the og vibe and put the nike air on
the back compared to the jump man that they had previously on that retro so
another look here on the back of the foot compared to the 16 and the 2020
version you still have the classic nike air branding on there I think is a dope
hit now this takes me into the ankle portion of the shoe where there is
actually no padding around the ankle they put holes where they normally would
have those pockets on the side of the foot so looking at the two shoes you can
see that there's a big prince when it comes to the ankle
there's a huge padded ankle portion on the left in the right side of the foot
when it comes to the classic metallic v but this one they completely eliminated
it all and made it a smooth section here on both sides of the foot and then stuck
a circle in here with a little bit of mesh it's pretty flimsy there's no
padding or anything between it we saw Virgil the other day cut the
holes out of the shoe and done that on these different portions of the foot
I personally probably would never do that another thing that really stands
out to me is the off-white 5 on the left foot it has a hole that's actually
already cut out on the tongue and then obviously you have a full complete more
plush air jordan 5 tongue here you have a 3m reflective tongue with a red
Jumpman on the right foot of the shoe is the German is offset to the left side of
the tongue and not in the center of the tongue yet there's no hole over here I
don't know if he's expecting us to cut a hole out ourselves I'm not doing it so
you can kind of see the gist of turning a metallic 5 into a deconstructed
version or flip the inside out version whatever you like to call it but you can
see the similarities between the two shoes and that is something very cool
that he took the homage from a classic og sneaker and put his own major twist
on this shoe taking it to the inside of the foot you have your off-white for
Nike Air Jordan v branding Beaverton Oregon USA but this one has a hint where
it says 1990 and that is the year that the metallic 5 was originally made and
they used this as a 30 year anniversary homage to the metallic 5 so another cool
thing to talk about is the black zip tie this has got the 2020 vibe on it as well
looking at I see I'm loving that and obviously you have your red one here
classic like the whole school ones that they originally started with but the
thing that I really want to talk about is obviously the deconstructed elements
around the ankle of the foot and then the material that they used on this Air
Jordan one UNC colorway that they used on the toe cap because they use that
same type of material all over this whole shoe and one thing that I was
really happy about them doing that on this one compared to the Chicago one was
that this material won't fray and get messed up as easy obviously I'll kick it
dirty but you know that it won't shred like the original Chicago one did from
the off-white pack so to now see them put that same
that they did on the toe cap here all over the shoe I think it's a pretty dope
look I feel like it might be pretty sturdy it shouldn't have no problems I
wouldn't take a knife to it or anything like that
but I'm feeling like it's gonna hold his ground so that brings me to my next
question drop a comment down below how do you
guys feel about this shoe is it dope is it hot is it not is it worth it so I
went to my Instagram story and I asked the people if you haven't already go
ahead and follow me on there 76% of the people said these are fire 24% other
people said they are trash now I don't know if they said they're trash because
they didn't get them or if they actually truly honestly feel that they are
trashed me personally I'm giving these shoes a solid a very solid 9 out of 10
do I think this is the best air jordan 5 ever no but could I rate it may be in
the top 10 air jordan fives that I like for colorways and different stuff like
that different vibes cool exclusivity all these different things I feel like
these fall in that category I've liked the craftsmanship I feel like the
materials I feel like everything when it comes to just creating these
deconstructed elements and all these parts of the shoe I'm making it a
functional sneaker I feel like they did a great job
and obviously this shoe is something dope to have in the collection with a
yellow bottom already like you don't even have to worry about a yellowing
because it's already yellow so then I went to Instagram which one's better the
metallic 5 or the off white metallic 5 64% other people went to the classic
original metallic 5 this wouldn't be nothing if it wasn't for this shoe right
here ok so let's talk about money let's talk about dollars let's talk about
value and all those different things the shoe retailed at 225 dollars I got very
lucky and I got them off of sneakers out so whatever happens to me is going to be
a win and that's gonna happen to anybody else that got this shoe off her sneakers
at but unfortunately there were a lot of people that bought this shoe immediately
after it dropped in the resale market the shoe was going for around 1,400 to
1,200 dollars in my size range obviously it varies based on size I'm a size 13 so
the shoe was a hi-hi-hi next thing you know the shoe drops and it's going for
around 1,100 bucks and people like oh man this is great should I buy it I sell
it is a she's gonna go up in value what's gonna happen I feel like the same
thing happened with this shoe as it did the UNC one the UNC one was going for
like a thousand dollars and the next thing
it was going for like 600 bucks everybody's like damn I just lost all
this money but overtime would at the UNC one do it went back up in value and now
it's worth twelve hundred fourteen fifteen hundred dollars whatever you
want to call it for that same exact shoot it always happens with a lot of
demanded shoes the price spikes immediately and that kind of gives you a
gauge of what the shoe is worth and then from there a lot of people that get the
shoe that don't care about the shoe that don't want the shoe all those different
factors they end up selling the chute and driving the price down because they
just want to make a quick buck they got the shoe for 225 and they're like damn
I'll sell it for 800 they sell it for $1,000 right now and then the next
person does that and the next person does it and they keep competing against
each other to drive the prices down which is a great thing for people that
are buying the shoe but also bad for the people that are selling the shoe
obviously it's a two-way street I'm just trying to give you guys both
perspectives when it comes to this shoe I hope this was helpful I hope you guys
enjoyed this I hope this helps you with the comparison seeing more details about
the shoe honestly I love love love love love this shoe it's gonna be in my top
