today we are going to be breaking down the oregon five we're gonna be talking about the
player exclusive version and the general release version i'm gonna show you guys the differences
between the styles cuts materials all those fancy things so let's go ahead and get into
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 now if you haven't already make sure you hit
that subscribe button don't forget to hit the bell notification for every time i upload a new video
and make sure you hit that like button because that helps the algorithm oh so much so before
we get started with the comparison we have to go over a little bit of history first and obviously
that starts with the og when that comes to the pe now the pe also known as the player exclusive
or the player edition whatever you'd like to call it this one was originally slated for the oregon
football team back in 2013 and as you guys all remember that's when the era of the oregon ducks
were really killing it on the field and off the field when it came to the icy shoes that they were
giving to the players so back in 2013 this shoe was originally gifted to the players and all the
coaching staff and everybody who worked on the project which roughly made somewhere around 200
pairs of sneakers so when you look at it in the grand scheme of things this shoe is pretty rare
saying that there's only probably around 200 to 250 pairs that have ever been made a couple years
after this shoe was given to the players they then said that they thought there was going to be
the same version releasing to the public during all-star weekend maybe around 2015 or 2016.
i don't remember the exact year but there were definitely a lot of speculative rumors that never
came true and later in the video i'll explain a little bit about the pricing of this sneaker
and how it fluctuated over the years but then we waited for year after year after year and seven
years later we finally got the retro version in 2020. this pair just recently came out and as you
can see there are definitely a lot of similarities but when i break down the differences between
these two you're definitely gonna see why the ogpe heads wanted this version compared to this version
so like classic fashion we're gonna start with the bottom of the sneaker and work our way up we'll
do some comparison and talk prices at the end of the video and then i'll give you guys my opinion
so let's go ahead and get into it starting with the outsole on the pe version as you can see right
here these have a smoke translucent outsole with a yellow jumpman on the center and the regular
version has an icy translucent outsole with the black jumpman on the center now when you take a
look at the midsoles right here you can see they actually do look pretty similar when it comes to
the overall color and the shades of the yellows these also both come with white air units on
the inside of the bubbles and on the back of the shoe this is one thing that is extremely
distinctive when it comes to these two sneakers on the pe version you have the duck right here
printed on the back on both of the heels and this one right here is the team branding that they do
on jordan team shoes like they've done in the past this is the same style that we saw on the michigan
air jordan 5 that was then released to the public if you guys haven't seen that comparison video
make sure you go check that one out as well while i break down the michigan versus the gr
and let you guys see the differences between the two so hopefully that'll also help you get a
little bit more understanding on how they've done previous pes when it comes to jordan fives and
then the retro versions that we've gotten to the public this is basically the same type of concept
what they've done on the michigan now taking it to the upper in the overall materials in the color of
the materials these are definitely two different sneakers when it comes to that aspect some people
may say it looks the same but when you put these two things side by side you can definitely see the
difference between the two these are considered apple green and these are more of like an emerald
green and also the material itself as you see right here with the stroke of my finger over the
top of the material both have a really nice suede they both feel really good but i think the overall
color of them definitely make the suedes look a little bit different but when it comes to
the material and the overall feel i feel like both definitely feel really good another thing
to notice right here if you look at the medial side of the foot you can see that you have green
eyelets here on the pe pair and you have black eyelids here on the gr pair this is actually
a touch that i really did like when it came to the gr pair let me know what you think about the
difference between the two do you like it with the green or do you like it with the black honestly i
feel like the black's not that bad but don't get me wrong the green flows really well with the
upper and this looks good too honestly i like both maybe that's just because i'm a ducks fan
what's your favorite college team drop a comment down below another thing that i want you guys to
pay close attention to as well when it comes to the small details you're going to have a black net
just like you have with the black eyelids you have a black net with a black mesh and then on here
you have a translucent net with the black mesh behind it on both the tongue and the side of the
foot and as you can see they're identical matching tongue and aside tongue aside both the same color
but when it comes to the overall color scheme of it this one's going to be the translucent
vibe this one's gonna be the smoke black vibe but then when you look at the outsoles it's the
opposite right because you got the smoke black on the upper and the translucent on the outsole
and then on here you got the translucent on the upper and the smoke black on the outsole so maybe
when jordan brown was on the design process that was something they thought about when it comes to
flip-flopping and usually when they do a 2.0 version or another version of the same shoe
they always flip something and that's probably something that they were thinking about another
small detail that i want you guys to check out as well you have a clear bib right here
with the black binky and on here you got a smoked black bib with a black binky which style do you
like more again i low-key like the smoked black one just a little bit more drop a comment down
below now taking it to the tongue another very distinctive element to the sneaker you have your
organ branding stitched here in all black with the black 3m tongue on the organ 5 and then on the gr
version you have a black 3m tongue with a jumpman stitch right here and it's not really embossed as
much like you see here on the pe version but i definitely would have preferred that organ oh
on the tongue at least looking at the back side of the tongue as you can see right here you have
your air jordan branding here on the left foot and on the right foot and then on the gr you have the
same thing elevate here on the left foot elevate here on the right foot if you guys are enjoying
this video so far again don't forget to smash that like button let's go ahead and get back into it
now looking at the insoles of these two pes as you can see again another big difference you got
a green pair and you got a yellow pair the green pair with the oregon wings logo comes with the pe
version and the yellow pair has a similar wings look to it but it's just in a smaller version let
me know what you think about the insoles which one do you like more so overall that's a pretty
detailed look at the two sneakers how do you feel about the differences between the two which one do
you like more let's talk about pricing and let's give some people's opinions as well so i took the
poll to instagram like i always do if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can
participate in the polls and see the results here on the channel basically i asked a simple question
which shoe do you like more left or right this is what the people said 80 of the people chose the pe
and 20 of the people chose the gr and i completely understand everybody wants to see this version for
many many years and this is what we got but at the same time when we talk about pricing this
was definitely a really good option the pe version is currently going for around mid three thousand
dollars right now and it used to go for five to seven thousand but that was before everybody
heard about the gr coming out which caused the value to then go down on the shoe a lot of people
started selling it some people still wanted to keep it some people wanted to have the two
but either way these definitely dropped but at the end of the day your average sneaker
head is not going to drop 3 500 on a pair of shoes like this so i completely understand
why a lot of people like this as a secondary option and think this shoe is dope as well
simply because you could get these for around 300 bucks and you could damn near have the same shoe
yeah we know it's different but at the same time this is still a clean shoe and in my opinion
from a collector's standpoint from having both sneakers obviously yes i want to have this shoe in
my collection and you know i love pes and i love having that type of stuff so it makes sense for me
to have this shoe especially being from oregon go ducks but that's a whole nother topic but either
way i definitely understand why the pe heads would want to go after this shoe and say oh no this
one's not that good and i definitely understand why people say hey i can afford this one
if it's a good alternative to this one and they didn't do too bad on it quality cuts materials
everything is good so i see both sides obviously me you know i love to have both but i hope this
