today we're going to be taking a look at the air jordan 5 what the
i'm excited to talk about these because there are a lot of shoes
mixed into this one shoe right here so let's go ahead and get into the video
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 for every time i upload a new video
and don't forget to hit the like button because that helps the algorithm oh so
much so let's go ahead and get into the shoe originally this shoe was supposed to release on
november 7th my birthday i was so excited and so ready for these to come out but then they decided
to push the shoe back to november 12th so we still have a couple days until this shoe comes out but i
am still excited and ready to get these in my hand this pair in particular was purchased on
early access this is my homies pair he let me get my hands on him so i could give you guys a review
i still need to find a size 13 so hopefully i can get my pair on release date starting with the box
we have our classic air jordan 5 box big red jump man right here black lid flip top and cement print
all around the box the size label reads air jordan 5 retro se varsity maze solar orange
retail 220 bucks opening up the box we have a new they've been going with this paper a little bit
more often on these newer retros we got a white cement print paper right here and then we got the
shoe oh we got the shoe so before we get into this review right here i want to show you the initial
four shoes per shoe that this shoe came from so we have four shoes for the left foot and four shoes
for the right foot starting with the left foot we have the green bean air jordan 5 the raging bull
air jordan 5 the kuai 545 and the shang high five on the right foot we have the bel air air jordan 5
the laser air jordan 5 the olive air jordan 5 and the tokyo air jordan 5. throughout my years
of collecting sneakers i have owned six of those eight pairs of shoes and i think that may just
be one reason why i want these so bad two shoes that i have personally never owned before are the
tokyo fives and the quiet fifty four fives i still would love to have those in my collection but the
tokyo fives are just way too much right now and personally i just don't see myself spending 10k
on that shoe so to have a chance to buy at least one half of it i ain't mad at it so now that you
know where these shoes originally came from and how they got the inspiration behind these let's go
ahead and start diving into these shoes starting with the right foot you have your classic bel
air air jordan 5 outsole going up to the midsole you have a continuous belair air jordan 5 midsole
going to the upper as you can see all yellow upper tokyo 5 vibes you got your tokyo 23
hit here on the back of the foot just like the tokyo 5 man i love that shoe and i'm so excited
to see them on these right here looking at the heel of the foot you have your classic air jordan
jumpman logo here on the back looking at the sock liner this is the same sock lighter from
the laser air jordan 5 and then the tongue also is from the olive air jordan 5. looking at the laces
you have all black laces with the black bib right here super clean super simple now looking at the
left foot we have a quiet 54 outsole and the same midsole as well those both match and are identical
going to the upper they switched it up just a little bit on us they gave us a raging bull 5
upper with the material honestly it's not like the original raging bull 5 i would say it's a little
bit lower in quality but i ain't mad at it but i wish it would have been a little bit nicer like
the old pair looking at the touch on the back right here you have the shanghai logo so on the
left foot they decided to go with belair vibes as well with the retro sock liner here on the inside
and then you have a green bean air jordan 5 tongue right here with the lime green on the back
and then the green pull tab right here man bro i remember the green b5s from back in high school
bruh if those things didn't crease those would have been diamonds in the rough it was tough
to rock them because of the creasing with the material but bruh i used to love having
those so now let's talk about numbers longevity realistic-ness of just rocking this shoe have it
in your collection all those different things when it comes to first impression i'm not mad at it i
like it i love it just because of the nostalgia behind all the other shoes that i've seen and had
from the past to see them come to this and come to life it's kind of dope but it is kind of weird to
see that they didn't do actually any og colorways and typically on the what does they tend to do og
colorways so for them mixing it up with retro plus colorways and different stuff like that
i ain't mad at it it's something different and i think it's cool i think we had more of the og vibe
when it comes to the top three air jordan 5 and i think a lot of people can relate to me when
i say that that shoe takes iconic models that were classics and put that into there and this
one takes more of the retro plus colorways but i have also heard a lot of people say
this is something mainly for kids like you would let a kid wear this shoe and maybe if
you were a collector you probably wouldn't rock it but you will hold it in your collection it's
kind of like a trophy item or something like that and i think this kind of falls in that category
it's gonna be hard for me to rock the ketchup and mustard vibes and i don't know how i'm gonna
put them on my feet but i would like to have them in my collection simply from the nostalgia
from high school and all the different shoes that i used to have back in the day
to now being able to see them all come into one and create this wild funky colorway and i think
it will grow on people over time but initially right now it is kind of tough to stick but at
the same time the shoe is still worth 250 to 290 dollars that may be because it's an early release
retails 220 so you might be able to make a couple bucks but if you're looking at the longevity
i think a lot of people are gonna appreciate this shoe some years from now you know maybe three or
five years from now and it's gonna have a crazy value like yo you remember when they dropped the
what the fives i'm like wow i can't believe i still got a ds period type thing i think that's
gonna be one of those type of situations so if you can buy these try to get them for retail or try to
get them for under retail try to get a good price i wouldn't go out personally and try to spend that
maximum amount of money on a shoe like this just because i know you probably could find it for a
good deal in your local market so as of right now i'm hearing that they're going to be available at
a lot of retailers so you shouldn't have a problem getting them if you put a little bit of effort in
if you enter into a couple raffles i don't think it should be that big of a problem now everybody
always has their complaints with sneakers app i'm gonna make my efforts on sneakers app as well
but i might put a couple other calls in just so i can make sure i can secure myself a pair so now
here's the question is this shoe fire or is this you trash i always post that poll on my instagram
if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can participate in the poll as well
the results are always posted here on the channel so this is what the people say 63 of the people
said fire and 37 percent of the people said trash i can completely understand why this is i wouldn't
say close to 50 50 but it's a lot heavier with the you know people on two different sides type
of thing typically we see like that you know 90 to 10 or something like that or 85 to 15
but i do understand where people are coming from everybody's not gonna like these and i understand
that me personally i would have picked fire just for the reasons like i said earlier in the video
and for me it's a cop but i don't want to spend extra money for a shoe like this so if i have
to be patient and i don't get it on release day and i get it later down the line for maybe like
230 or 240 bucks i'm willing to pay that price but i don't see myself paying anywhere near 300
plus for this shoe you know maybe a couple years from now this shoe might be hidden for 400
or 450 or 350 that does make sense you know time from now but it's going to take a long time before
this shoe starts to go up in value unless some crazy miraculous thing happens and then these
things just pop out of nowhere and everybody loves them and they all got to have them but
if you look at top three ones and what the fours and stuff like that you realize over time they
start to go up they're a little funky at first but then you give it some time and next thing you know
they're worth some money so those are my overall impressions shout out to my bro for letting me
borrow these for the video i hope you guys enjoyed this wish me luck on release date i need to get a
size 13 in my collection i appreciate you guys for always tuning in i'll see you guys in the next one
