today we are going to be talking about the air jordan 5 off-white sail now there has been a
lot of controversy about this shoe and i want to explain to you guys how i feel about it obviously
give you guys an in-depth review and then see what you guys think at the end of the video so stick
around 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 hit the bell notification to let you know every time i upload a new video and don't
forget to smash the like button because that helps the algorithm oh so much so for those that do not
know or have been living underneath the rock for the past couple years off-white has been
collabing with jordan brand and nike and creating some pretty dope collaborations over those years
and the resale prices on most of his shoes have been pretty ridiculous so today we're going to
make sure that we talk about current market value and obviously i need to give you guys an in-depth
review and comparison with the other pair as well so let's go ahead and get into it starting with
the box you have your classic air jordan 5 box but you have the holes on it similar to the shoe
and they did the same exact thing when it comes to the air jordan 4 off-white or the air jordan 5
off-white the first version in the black metallic on the front of the box you have air jordan 5
retro sp sail fire red muslin black retail 225 bucks so i'm pulling out a little bit of the
arsenal for today's review but the shoes that we will be using for examples are going to be
the off-white air jordan 5 in the first black colorway then we have the metallic air jordan 5
and then we have the original fire red 5 colorway as well obviously there are a lot of resemblances
between the two shoes so i want to make sure we get a good in-depth comparison so that way you
can see where the shoe is coming from and where it's going and how they got this one and that
one and all those other things opening up the box you have a clear off-white plastic with off-white
branding all over it with a big jump man and then we got the shoe oh we got the shoe so as some of
you guys know i was not able to get a pair for retail i'm looking for a pair in the retail market
hopefully to work a trade or purchase a pair i do have a couple deals lined up hopefully
i could work out a good deal with one of you guys and that way i can have the shoe in my collection
as well this right here is a size nine i'm a size 13 so when i do the comparisons obviously there's
going to be a huge size difference but we're going to be mainly looking at materials and colors when
it comes to a shoe like this starting with the outsole you have your classic air jordan 5 outsole
with the nike branding here and the mid foot kind of like that smoky gray here on the midfoot
and the toe you got your yellow vibe similar to the black pair like they did the same thing and
then you got a red jumpman a classic iconic touch right here i always love that working our way up
to the midsole you have your air jordan 5 midsole that you always get on the fire red so we can see
some similarities with that as well now looking at the upper this has the same exact material as the
black pair it's just a cell colorway and it's got that pitch yellow or whatever people want to call
it but it's definitely an interesting perspective when i seen a lot of photos of these online
i was like brothers like fake brothers look fake brothers look fake when i see them in person they
do look a lot better than when they look like online but at the same time it's just still kind
of like a funky looking shoe i think this is one of those type of shoes that doesn't really look
well in hand but very well on foot type of thing so i think when i see people rocking it i'm like
oh okay those look cool but when i see it kind of in hand i'm like uh yeah so uh so looking at
the eyelids right here you got those yellowed out eyelets with the cell kind of laces over here you
got your clear bib with the yellow and the red right here you got your tongue with the 3m with
the air jordan jumpman logo with the holes in it i think that's on this foot they got the hole on the
left foot and then on the right foot it's just a bigger tongue but it's kind of offset and shifted
over a little bit on the insole you have a black insole with a red nike air and looking at the back
of the shoe you got your nike air branded behind the mesh something that i always loved on the air
jordan 5 was the big nike air branding and i'm so happy they kept that on this shoe another dope hit
to me when it comes to the air jordan 5 is the 23 on the side kind of gives you that pe vibe that og
classic vibe and i always love seeing a retro air jordan 5 with the 23 on the side as well because
not all retros have the 23 on the side this shoe comes equipped with two different pairs of laces
you got a black and a red and then your standard sail that already comes in the shoe another cool
touch to add to the off-white collection is having another colored zip tab so on here matching the
eyelets with the same type of color you got your off-white zip tab so now let's compare these to
the first version and see what they look like so me personally when it comes to looking at these
two shoes i like darker shoes already and i really just don't know how i feel about the sale and all
the you know i just don't know how i feel about it i want to have it in my collection to complete
the set and all that but if i could only pick one i'm going with these all day drop a comment down
below and let me know which one you like more do you like the sale or do you like the metallic let
me know as you can see with the two shots next to each other the shoes are essentially the same
obviously the size is different but everything's pretty much the same when it comes to the vibe of
the shoe you got the same concept behind this pier mirrored into this pair and you just got
your metallic and your fire red versions so that brings up the two og colorways and og
styles let's talk about those for a second so as we know virgil's inspiration originally came
from og colorways from jordan himself so that brings us the metallic five and the fire red
five two classic og colorways that are undefeated bro you can never go wrong with these two shoes
now when it comes to rocking and all those other things i'm rocking with the metallics again
for that same situation let me know what you think down below i think these may be a little bit more
iconic or something like that i mean he did rock these with the white laces and it was looking
super clean and all but i think these just have more nostalgia behind them when it comes to the
masses of people that aren't sneaker heads but i think me personally these hit a little bit harder
i don't know why i just like these i don't know i just like these a little bit more so i just wanted
to pull these out and give thanks to these two shoes because if it wasn't for these two shoes
we wouldn't have those off-white shoes at all and they wouldn't be having the inspiration behind
them and the heritage to create those versions that we have today so now let's talk about price
and longevity and all those other things because everybody's always asking me about that too
so this shoe originally was like two thousand dollars months ago right and everything always has
that crazy hype in the big bubble and it's like quadruple or four five ten times the price that it
should actually be and i feel bad for the people that bought him at that price because you spent
two thousand dollars on a shoe and now everybody's getting it for like 555 65 70 somewhere around i
don't know but either way that's like four times what it works like i can't even get the words out
that's just crazy so current market right now for a size 13 at least we're looking at 560 570 bucks
somewhere around there and when they first dropped it was like 900 and then it went to like 700
and it's slowly creeping down as people get their pairs in the mail typically that week after you
see the prices start to go down because people that don't know much about shoes or whatever
it may be or really just finally got a hit and finally trying to make some money or make some
quick cash and don't really care about the shoe they typically to undercut each other
and it'll go from literally 700 bucks to five or six hundred bucks literally like that within a day
or two so having patience and finding it on the right curve i think this shoe could potentially
slide down a little bit more you might be able to get it for in the 400 range and people might say
i'm crazy but originally i was saying like this shoes worth you know 450 bucks max and at the time
it was going for like 700 or 800 bucks if you do get this shoe it's probably gonna be wise to try
to get it sometime soon over the next couple weeks find a good deal try to get in that 400 range or
something like that and then sit on it you're gonna have to sit on it for a long time but as
you know as all the off-white sneakers do they're gonna go up over time next thing you know you're
gonna get your money it's all gonna be worth it me personally if i want it for my collection i gotta
get it for a great deal because i'm not trying to spin a rack on a shoe that i'm literally trying to
wear or have in my collection for a long haul knowing that i'm not having any intentions on
selling it anytime soon now if you're trying to make money go ahead and do your thing but me
personally i'm trying to get the best deal that i can find because i know these are going to sit in
my collection for a long time i typically try to go after different sets and different stuff like
that so i want to have most of the off-white stuff that i actually like these right here are like on
the cusp like low-key i don't really like them like that but at the same time i kind of do but
i really don't the majority of me is like no but at the same time i'm like i need to have
them in my collection just to complete the set because if you got one you got to have the other
that's my type of situation i know it's weird it don't make no sense but that's just how
i don't know i'm just i'm wired differently but again this is the type of shoe that i would be
gladly fine with not having in my collection if i had to pay an extra price on it because i know
damn well i don't want to pay the extra price on it so if i can get them for around 400 bucks or
something like that okay i'm willing to spend that price because i know it'll be worth it in
the long haul but if i gotta pay extra dough it's not happening so let me know what you think about
the projections of this shoe down below in the comment section i would love to hear what you
guys have to say now when it comes to is this shoe fire or trash this is gonna be a funny one
so this is what the people said if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you
can participate in the polls and i share all the results here on the channel later so i asked the
people is this shoe fire trash and this is what they said 84 said fire 16 said trash and honestly
if i was scrolling through somebody else's story and i had the choice to choose fire or trash
i'd probably say trash and that's just because i know i still want it and all those things but
i tried to explain myself already like i mean i'm kind of contradicting myself in all these
different things but i just wanted to complete the set but don't really want it that bad that's why i
don't want to spend too much money on it but these right here these are in my top 10 pickups for sure
when it comes to 2020. these right here no way if i pick these up this year there's no way these are
making it in my top 10 and i'm sorry it is what it is but i just like the dark color and i like the
black pair way more also i got these for retail office sneakers apps so maybe that might influence
just a little bit as to why i like this pair just a little bit more but i still do like these more
though so that's gonna do it for me i hope you guys enjoyed the review i hope you enjoyed the
comparison i'm gonna try to work a deal and work a trade or something and make that video about
how i went about doing the whole process and all that so you guys can see my trading process but
