today we're going to be comparing the original raging bull air jordan 5 from 2009
against the now 2021 version right here from initial look there are definitely a lot of
similarities but i can guarantee you right now there are also a lot of differences so
sit back grab your popcorn kick your feet up and let's go ahead and get into this video
what's up with you guys how you doing how you being if you did not know by now

breaking down these two shoes i want to show you some differences between a couple other sneakers
and why this one resembles those as well and then i'll give you guys a full in-depth look at this
sneaker and then we'll fully compare them side by side so that way you have a visualization of
what this one looks like compared to the original pair so two additional shoes that i'll be using in
today's comparison as well is going to be the what the air jordan 5. we're going to look at
the materials on this one and then we're going to look at the cuts on the fire red air jordan
5 retro right here as most people know the what the air jordan 5 the left foot is red and the
right foot is yellow now when i saw this shoe released last year i immediately put it next to
my 2009 pair to see the difference and it was a huge difference when it comes to materials then
right after that i heard that they were going to be releasing the raging bull air jordan 5 in 2021
so i had a strong feeling that they were basically gonna use the same exact materials that they used
for this one for this retro so if you put these two sneakers side by side and feel the materials
and everything they're essentially identical and it's damn near the same shoe but one of the
biggest difference between these two is the cut of this sneaker the cut of this shoe is actually
more similar to the og style with the fire red five now this pair right here obviously is the og
style the og cut and they're trying to get close as they can to that original state from back in
1990 and one thing that we have seen from jordan brand over the past couple years now is they're
going back to their og styles and their og cuts when it comes to the molds and shapes of their
sneakers in the newer retros so i understand where they're going with this one giving it the og style
and the og vibe yet this is more of a retro retro plus type of colorway something that's different
something that was never seen way way back in the day and more to the newer era of sneaker heads so
one of the easiest ways for me to tell on an og style cut is that is the toe cap around the front
and the foot as you see when i put these side by side they look identical on that aspect the cut
of the leather is very very low this cap on the toe is very very big and you can definitely tell
the difference when you put it next to our older retro so i'm not mad at the switch of the toe cap
here on the newer retro giving it that old school vibe because most of the consumers aren't even
gonna know there's a small percentage of medium to high level sneaker heads that really know
everything about the ins and outs of the sneakers and obviously i want to bring that information to
you guys as well but at the same time when it comes to jordan brands aspect and them selling
a product i know they can get away with it now if i ask the sneaker head that's been in the game for
15 or 20 years that has the original version of this sneaker they would probably be upset and not
be happy with the nora retro but at the end of the day we gotta take what we can get and i'm happy to
have them now for the rest of the shoe let's take a quick in-hand look and a couple beauty shots so
you guys can just see a little bit more of the sneaker on the outsole you have your classic air
jordan 5 outsole all black here on the center and on the toe translucent icy blue pods right here
with the red jumpman on the center of the ball of the foot working your way up you have a black
midsole with the red and white shark teeth right here a white air unit and a black toe cap on the
upper again we already spoke about that earlier and i'm looking forward to comparing these side
by side with the older pair because the materials are just way different when it comes to stitching
you have a 23 embroidered here on the side of the foot and a jumpman on the back end of the shoe
these come equipped with a pair of red laces no additional white or black laces i know a lot of
people do like to switch it up let me know which color laces you would like to put in
this shoe i feel like i'm fine with rocking with the reds because i rock with those on the older
pair so to me it's not even a problem going to the inside of the foot you have all black sock liner
and an all black insole i swear there was wood grain on the old insole on the previous pair
we gotta check yeah see this old pair has the damn i got my bracelet in here from when
i camped out too this is a whole nother story just along the shoe right here this is crazy
that's wild so this one has the wood on the inside as well with the black jumpman on the insole
i still have my receipt right here too from back in the day when i camped out at nike time to get
these i bought the pack for retail which was what 100 no 310 dollars right here oh my gosh 523 2009
and look at the address bro this is at the old nike town before they moved it bruh so many
memories when it comes to the raging bull five okay now it's time to compare these two sneakers
right here if you don't know the raging bull pack again was 310 dollars it released in 2009 and
there was two different shoes in the pack there was a black all over 3m air jordan 5 and then this
all red suede air jordan 5. a lot of people didn't really like the black pair i like the black pair
the only problem was it was hard to wear similar to like the green beam 5 if you rock the shoe it
creases really bad and then it just doesn't really look too well so i had worn mine a couple times
and then i just sold them but i had to keep these and as you can see these have been around the
block but i ain't mad these got character to them so overall basic fundamentals of just looking at a
sneaker the average consumer is going to think hey that version came out before this one's cleaner it
looks nicer it's not yellowing it's not aging i would love to have this version why not they look
like the same shoe and like i said before if you ask an older sneaker head or somebody who actually
experienced owning this sneaker from back in the day or whatever it may be and they put these two
shoes side by side they're gonna tell you nah bruh this is way different and i think the two biggest
things that really really stand out to me on the differences of the sneaker well i guess three
you have the cut that's different around the toe and the front end of the sneaker and just
the overall shape of the shoe like i showed you earlier and then you have the red material that's
on this sneaker it's a lot more uh thick a lot more plush a lot more premium feeling it just
feels a lot nicer and then the third thing like i said before is the insole of the sneaker and
then as you can see they definitely went with the similar vibes when it comes to the box this box is
obviously a little bit lighter and it has a little bit more character and all those things but you
can definitely see all the inspiration from this sneaker and how they came up with this version
now if you asked me i would prefer to have the 2009 version when it comes to materials and
everything like that but then we have to factor in aging right it's been over 10 years that we have
waited for this sneaker which i feel like was a solid amount of time we have a whole new couple
generations of sneaker heads that came into the game and don't really know much about the older
pair but are able to finally get their hands on this pair and that is completely fine i'm excited
for everybody to be able to own this shoe right here but if i could take one i would still take
that 2009 pair so my question to you is what do you think about these two shoes would you
rather go with the older pair would you rather go with the newer pair i definitely understand
the newer pair is going to have more life to it a higher percent chance of not falling apart i know
these are still intact with no issues but they are going to crumble before these ones do simply
because these are 10 years younger than those so i asked the poll on instagram to see what everybody
else thinks as well if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can participate in
the polls and see the results here in the videos 58 of the people chose the newer version and 42
chose the older version i can definitely understand that poll simply because myself
and other people that haven't even owned the shoe we've been waiting for this shoe for a long time
so i've definitely heard both sides of the story a lot of people complaining about it a lot of people
happy about it at the end of the day we're gonna have to take what we can get if you don't want
the shoe don't buy the shoe if you like the shoe go try to get the shoe if i rated these at 10 out
of 10 and i rated these at 8 out of 10 i'm still gonna cop now if it was like a two out of ten and
it was just even worse and terrible and all tore up and like leather or some weird stuff i probably
wouldn't cop now when it comes to pricing on this sneaker these are 190 retail and they're going for
around 300 bucks right now i think these do have a chance to go up just like the other pair and we
could potentially see these be worth six seven eight hundred dollars way down the line because
just like that other pair everybody was trying to get them they was going for a solid price and then
give it a little bit of time four or five years and then they just go crazy so if you missed out i
would recommend maybe waiting for a couple weeks and try to see you can get them for around 250
bucks or somewhere around there but if you wait for two or three years they might be creeping up
to 350 400 maybe even 450 bucks let me know what you think about the price on this shoe down below
what will these be worth in a couple years from now so with all that being said i hope you guys
