today we're going to be taking a look at a highly anticipated air jordan 5
and that is the green bean jordan 5. this is a colorway that we have seen one time in the
past before and i'm excited to unbox this shoe and re-add these back to my collection
so if you guys didn't know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show on this channel i love
breaking down different sneakers like this talking about styles cuts materials history nostalgia
and all those fancy things so if you haven't already consider subscribing and joining the fam
we're on the road to a million subscribers and you could be the next one to get us there so with all
that being said let's go ahead and crack this box open and see what these shoes are talking about
starting with the top of the box right here you have your classic air jordan 5
og style box but it definitely does have a major twist to it on here you're gonna have silver on
the back end and silver on the lid with a green jumpman in the center of that now going to the
side of the box right here this is actually one cool element that i really do like and i'm not
sure if it is 3m reflective we will check on camera if so i'll show you guys some b-roll
but basically it has the speckle pattern all throughout the rest of the box right here
and actually has a texture to it i don't know if you can hear it or not but
normally when you see a air jordan 5 box like this it's just smooth with the texture pattern
printed on there you can't really feel the texture so on here it is kind of dope to see that element
on the box now going to the size tag it reads air jordan 5 retro silver green bean flint gray
size 13 just for me and retail on these things was 200 bucks now flipping open the lid of the box you
have that same type of textured print that you saw on the sides of the box that's gonna be all over
the paper and then you got the shoe oh you got this shoe okay first impressions of this sneaker
bruh i ain't gonna lie originally i thought the shape was gonna be kind of messed up when i saw
the toe box and the new og style but these are pretty fire now before we get into breaking down
the styles cuts and materials like i was talking about the toe box area of the shoe we got to talk
about the history first so as we all know the air jordan 5 originally came around back in 1990 we
saw jordan wearing that shoe on the court and we all remembered the 3m reflective tongue that was
so iconic throughout the years i'll never forget back in 2006 when i saw j.q walking
through the cafeteria in high school and he had the new green beam fives that had just came out
on his feet i seen him and they were flashing just shining from across the room and i was like bro i
gotta have those so shortly after that as i started to collect sneakers more seriously in
high school i immediately copped a pair as soon as i had a chance i'm sure a lot of older sneaker
heads remember those days of the times when we had the burgundy fives the olive fives the green
bean fives the fire reds with the black tongues the stealth fives you name it there was a bunch
of gray color we can't remember we can't forget the grapes i know everybody remember the grapes
that was just a very very dope shoe in its time but well we'll keep that one for another video
either way there were a lot of dope fives coming out during that time and this one in particular
really stood out to a lot of people and it's dope to see that a lot of people still appreciate
them to this day now before i get into too much storytelling about all of my sentimental reasons
why i love this shoe and everything let's break down the styles cut some materials so you can
see some more in-depth shots and then we'll talk about my opinions everybody else's opinions resale
values and what my predictions are for the future starting with the bottom of the shoe you have your
classic air jordan 5 outsole blue translucent pods the green bean jumpman in the center of the ball
of the foot and then the jordan in the back end on the gray rubber going to the midsole this is
gonna be pretty much similar to the og as well you got your darker gray here with the green on
the front and on the shark teeth now looking at the upper oh the upper like i said before we all
remember the iconic 3m tongs on the jordan 5s well when they decided to do this on the entire upper
having the whole shoe be reflective there is a lot of positives and there's a lot of negatives right
the shoe is flashy it looks extremely dope and you could just really pull off a crazy fire fit
with it but one of the problems that everybody has is what creasing most sneaker heads know the
air jordan 5 does have heavy creasing right here around the toe box especially on the inside of the
foot and sometimes over right here around the toe but when you have the 3m you can see the creasing
and it kind of shows when it reflects off of light and it kind of leaves a dark line on the shoe
and that's something that people don't like when it comes to wearing the shoe so again there's some
positives and there's some negatives but besides all that when you see the shoe fresh out the box
or freshly worn on a pair of feet you're like bro that shoe looks extremely clean i love it
so taking that all into account that does lead to people questioning do they want to have the shoe
because if they want to wear it how long are they going to be able to wear it without having to deal
with all those issues and that's always something to take note of if you have never owned a sneaker
like this before now besides that you got dark gray plastic eyelids right here running up the
foot these come standard with a pair of light gray laces you got a clear bib with the green being
lace lock and then you have the same thing right here 3m on the tongue with the green bean jumpman
on here you got that green bean coloring on the sock liner and behind the tongue and then your air
jordan patch that goes behind the tongue classic like every other air jordan now looking at the
insoles of the shoe it's going to be a light gray with the green bean jumpman as well and those are
going to be essentially all your major details i forgot to mention the jumpman on the back another
dope hit some people are like we need nike air on everything this is not a nike air type shoe i get
it i know we want nike air on a lot of stuff but i feel like it's okay to have jumpman on shoes too
i don't know let me know what you guys think down below now that also drives me to my next question
on what you guys think down below and that is the longevity of this sneaker so we saw these come out
in 2006 it's 22 now so it's been a long time over 15 years since this shoe came out so with that
being said there's gonna be a big gap could they potentially ever release this shoe again that's
another question are we gonna see this retro 10 or 15 years from now again and in that time is this
shoe gonna hold the tail of time when it comes to the materials i feel like they are aware of that
and the only thing we can do is see what happens i think when we look at the uh five lab threes
i used to have those in my collection and uh i started wearing them and then i got that weird
kind of like wrinkly crease kind of on the toe box and it i just wasn't really feeling it and then i
had the darker pair the darker five lab threes as well and it just wasn't really tickling my
fancy with actually wearing the shoe i liked it i appreciate it i thought it was a cool flashy
shoe and it gave me those same vibes of owning a green bean 5 but i just i didn't want to wear it
because i feel like it had to be brand new every time with that crease line so i don't know maybe
that's just an internal issue and i'm the only one that's dealing with that and other people don't
really care about the creasing but i feel like when i see that shoe they did a little bit better
on the creasing compared to the 2006 green b5 if you look at some pairs from the past you
can definitely see right here with these images people's pears as they worn them over the years
and the creases start to come and the midsole start to fall apart and all those different things
it causes you to be like i don't know how long i could really keep this shoe in my collection so
for me i think now uh from learning that thing from all them years before i think it's a shoe
that i take advantage of the opportunity rock it you know i don't have to rock it right now
but within the next couple years start walking the shoe and mixing it with different outfits
and understanding that this shoe could potentially be a shoe that i'm like it's time to sell after
i you know i've got my creases in it and done my things and pulled off all my outfits that i like
with it because when it comes to the pairs that i've owned in the past i've actually owned three
different pairs i had like a really beat pair that i got for the super low that i used to just
wear all the time and just like flashy with it the other pair i had um was clean and it looked really
good i was like cool i could pull doe fits right here and then i had a dead stock pair that i had
got some you know probably like four years after they had came out or something like that ended up
finding a dead stock pair and this picture right here is the death star pair that i used to have
and i think i wore those like one time and i was like scared because i remember my north carolina
fives the midsole started to fall apart and when i saw that i was like damn those were dead stock
too so i was just kind of scared of seeing the you know the phylon midsole falling apart
on a shoe like that so it kind of just brought all these things to my mind and i'm like you know
what i'm gonna sell it it's okay like maybe it's just a shoe that i'll never have in my collection
again and then boom 2022 comes around and we have the retro coming out and i'm like i immediately
i need to cop i have to have this shoe because i've had this shoe for so many years i'm so happy
to have it back in my collection and have the opportunity to wear the shoe again and i think
that's another thing that sneakerheads don't talk about and why they justify why you need multiple
pairs and you need the different narrations and stuff like that is because the old pairs
they fall apart and that's okay you got your wares you did your things you had your fun
and then they retro one 10 15 20 12 years whatever anniversary it is they retro another one and you
have the opportunity to enjoy that memory from high school for me or whatever it was for you
and a different stuff like that so for me it makes me extremely excited to have this shoe
um i have nothing but thumbs up i feel like the toe box it is kind of interesting because they've
given us that og style toe box and on the previous pair it had a completely different cut we've gone
over this before and the fire rare review showing you different types or in the raging bull fives
or anything like that i should have brought my burgundy five so you can see those as well
um that'll give you kind of a different look at the toe box and the style from that era but
either way um hopefully these pictures that i just showed you some from some previous references
kind of let you see the difference with the toe box and the shape and everything so
i'm interested to see what the toe down looks like it looks really wide especially with this
being a size 13. but overall besides that i love the shoe i'm gonna give these a solid
i'm gonna give these a solid nine eight uh i'm gonna give these a solid eight point five out
of ten so now that you guys have my rating on the shoe clearly i think this shoe is fire i'm
interested to see what you guys think so if you haven't already consider following me on ig so
you can participate in the polls and see all the results here on the channel ask the people
the simple question this is what they said 70 of the people chose fire and 30 of the people chose
trash and honestly that makes sense like i said earlier all the different reasons sometimes people
say the shoe is just too loud or whatever and i get that or they say the functionality of it with
the creasing there's a lot of different pros and there's a lot of different cons i think it's gonna
be up for you to decide how you feel about this sneaker one thing that i can say when it comes to
pricing and everything like that the older pair a dead stock pair you're gonna find online for
four or five hundred bucks you know it's 15 year old shoe i get that i understand that's kind of
like the max value of the sneaker i don't think it could ever go to something any higher especially
saying now that we have a retro if anything that could cause the price to drop so again having the
wiseness of knowing like oh if this shoe is coming out again i should sell it before the
next one comes out that way i can get the max potential value of the dollar on the sneaker
before i get the next one and then so you know there's just a lot of different nuances to the
game again we talk about all that in the hobby to hustle if you want to learn more about that stuff
but either way that's kind of where i'm at with it i'm interested to see what you guys think the shoe
hit for 200 bucks going for a little bit over that i think it should be a pretty easy cop for
those people that missed out on the drop and i'm sure a lot of people that wanted to shoot got the
shoe and were happy about that so i think it was a pretty good overall release for everybody not
a crazy hype release kind of just went under the radar you should probably be able to pick these
up for the next couple years and then we might see a trend in the spike um for people that kept you
know a really clean pair or a dead stock pair you know two or three years from now then we'll start
saying oh okay now i see the shoe being worth you know 300 350 and slowly creeping up over time so
that's kind of my predictions let me know what you guys think down below i'm excited to talk
about more we got a lot more shoes to review i've been picking up a bunch of stuff for y'all
