today is the day oh my gosh I’ve been waiting for this package not normally like I’ll just be like okay package coming in the mail but this is the one where I was like no I woke up in the morning and I was tracking that delivery and the package oh the package finally came this might be the best package of the year I mean I know we’re only a month and a half in I’m excited to open this thing up with you guys let’s get 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 you already know what the topic is I’m so ready to get into it but if you haven’t already don’t forget to hit that subscribe and join the family type a comment down below and let me know if you are now new to the family if you all to the family what’s up with y’all how y’all doing brah I’m excited to open these things up but before we start I gotta tell you right now this package came from Nike meaning I got these from 225 dollars I don’t even know what to say right now literally hitting on sneakers up with this shoe right here obviously knowing the value and how hard it was to get and everything but I’m happy about that.
because now I don’t have to worry about going spend a hundred thousand dollars whatever it may be on a shoe like this because if so I probably wouldn’t a body so let’s go ahead and open these things up let’s break them down let’s do some comparisons let’s talk about the materials and brass let’s get into it and here we have it Air Jordan Pi off white ah so let’s go ahead and dive into this box first because obviously this isn’t like your typical Air Jordan five box yes it has similarities but you can see a lot of holes inside these box on the top you got three holes on the side three holes on the side and then another two holes in the back and nothing in the front looks like a basic regular box in the front there’s a little plastic lining right here so you can’t stick your finger through it which is good because that protects the chute and then also on the sides in the back of the box there’s a plastic lining on there as well so not a bunch of stuff is just gonna be able to get inside the box so on your off-white dump box you can actually stick your fingers through the holes and I can cause other things to fall inside the box as well ,cheap jordan 11,so I think they were thinking a little bit more ahead and they probably had some struggles with that box but breath let’s open these things up I know I’m sorry I’m taking so long but I got a cover all these details oh my gosh this kind of reminds me of the UNC off-white one where they had the flip up top and then they have the clear plastic and I said off-white branding on the plastic as well I think that kind of has that vibe was the newer vibe as well so it’s a cool little mix when it comes to the packaging oh man but before we get started on the review .
I just want to reference two different shoes in this one comparing the materials on the off-white Air Jordan one and then obviously the overall scheme in the colorway and the color blocking when it comes to the metallic Air Jordan 5 so that way you guys have understanding of the two shoes that we will be using in comparison with this off y5 so let’s go ahead and get into it starting with the outside you have a semi translucent smoke whatever you like to call it black in yellow tint air jordan v outsole with the classic nike branding on the outsole also matches with the metallic v that you see here Vergil took a lot of inspiration when it comes to the yellow outlaws from the original pairs because over time,jordan 11 china, they start to yellow and they have that vintage vibe so he wanted to use that homage when he had these pairs from back in the day and then yellowing over the years too now when he owns them so I feel like that’s a dope cool touch for his story and then also giving that vintage vibe when it comes to an Air Jordan 5 now going into the midsole we have a cool little touch here it has the same color blocking as the metallic vibe but the silver is more of a grayish paint and it still has that same cement print over the shark teeth as well obviously giving it that classic metallic v vibe you have a similar colored air unit here kind of more creamy ish off-white as whatever you like to call it and that’s also similar to the 2016 retro as well going to the toe of the foot.
you can see that is more of a grayish smokers tent with still a black stitch line compared to the all-black toe here on the metallic v so I sold my 2006 metallic 5 but on that pair it has a 23 stitched on the side and these also have a 23 stitched on the side but it’s also dope because they took the og vibe and put the nike air on the back compared to the jump man that they had previously on that retro so another look here on the back of the foot compared to the 16 and the 2020 version you still have the classic nike air branding on there I think is a dope hit now this takes me into the ankle portion of the shoe where there is actually no padding around the ankle they put holes where they normally would have those pockets on the side of the foot so looking at the two shoes you can see that there’s a big prince when it comes to the ankle there’s a huge padded ankle portion on the left in the right side of the foot when it comes to the classic metallic v but this one they completely eliminated it all and made it a smooth section here on both sides of the foot and then stuck a circle in here with a little bit of mesh it’s pretty flimsy there’s no padding or anything between it we saw Virgil the other day cut the holes out of the shoe and done that on these different portions of the foot I personally probably would never do that another thing that really stands out to me is the off-white 5 on the left foot it has a hole that’s actually already cut out on the tongue and then obviously .
you have a full complete more plush air jordan 5 tongue here you have a 3m reflective tongue with a red Jumpman on the right foot of the shoe is the German is offset to the left side of the tongue and not in the center of the tongue yet there’s no hole over here I don’t know if he’s expecting us to cut a hole out ourselves I’m not doing it ,cheap jordan shoes,so you can kind of see the gist of turning a metallic 5 into a deconstructed version or flip the inside out version whatever you like to call it but you can see the similarities between the two shoes and that is something very cool that he took the homage from a classic og sneaker and put his own major twist on this shoe taking it to the inside of the foot you have your off-white for Nike Air Jordan v branding Beaverton Oregon USA but this one has a hint where it says 1990 and that is the year that the metallic 5 was originally made and they used this as a 30 year anniversary homage to the metallic 5 so another cool thing to talk about is the black zip tie this has got the 2020 vibe on it as well looking at I see I’m loving that and obviously you have your red one here classic like the whole school ones that they originally started with but the thing that I really want to talk about is obviously the deconstructed elements around the ankle of the foot and then the material that they used on this Air Jordan one UNC colorway that they used on the toe cap because they use that same type of material all over this whole shoe and one thing that I was really happy about them doing that on this one compared to the Chicago one was that this material won’t fray and get messed up as easy obviously I’ll kick it dirty but you know that it won’t shred like the original Chicago one did from the off-white pack so to now see them put that same that they did on the toe cap here all over the shoe I think it’s a pretty dope look I feel like it might be pretty sturdy it shouldn’t have no problems I wouldn’t take a knife to it or anything like that but I’m feeling like it’s gonna hold his ground so that brings me to my next question drop a comment down below how do you guys feel about this shoe is it dope is it hot is it not is it worth it so I went to my Instagram story and I asked the people if you haven’t already go ahead and follow me on there 76% of the people said these are fire 24% other people said they are trash now I don’t know if they said they’re trash because they didn’t get them or if they actually truly honestly feel that they are trashed me personally I’m giving these shoes a solid a very solid 9 out of 10 do I think this is the best air jordan 5 ever no but could I rate it may be in the top 10 air jordan fives that I like for colorways and different stuff like that different vibes cool exclusivity all these different things I feel like these fall in that category I’ve liked the craftsmanship I feel like the materials I feel like everything when it comes to just creating these deconstructed elements and all these parts of the shoe I’m making it a functional sneaker I feel like they did a great job and obviously this shoe is something dope to have in the collection with a yellow bottom already like you don’t even have to worry about a yellowing because it’s already yellow so then I went to Instagram which one’s better the metallic 5 or the off white metallic 5 64% other people went to the classic original metallic 5 this wouldn’t be nothing if it wasn’t for this shoe right here ok so let’s talk about money let’s talk about dollars let’s talk about value and all those different things the shoe retailed at 225 dollars I got very lucky and I got them off of sneakers out so whatever happens to me is going to be a win and that’s gonna happen to anybody else that got this shoe off her sneakers at but unfortunately there were a lot of people that bought this shoe immediately after it dropped in the resale market the shoe was going for around 1,400 to 1,200 dollars in my size range obviously it varies based on size I’m a size 13 so the shoe was a hi-hi-hi next thing you know the shoe drops and it’s going for around 1,100 bucks and people like oh man this is great should I buy it I sell it is a she’s gonna go up in value what’s gonna happen I feel like the same thing happened with this shoe as it did the UNC one the UNC one was going for like a thousand dollars and the next thing it was going for like 600 bucks everybody’s like damn I just lost all this money but overtime would at the UNC one do it went back up in value and now it’s worth twelve hundred fourteen fifteen hundred dollars whatever you want to call it for that same exact shoot it always happens with a lot of demanded shoes the price spikes immediately and that kind of gives you a gauge of what the shoe is worth and then from there a lot of people that get the shoe that don’t care about the shoe that don’t want the shoe all those different factors they end up selling the chute and driving the price down because they just want to make a quick buck they got the shoe for 225 and they’re like damn I’ll sell it for 800 they sell it for $1,000 right now and then the next person does that and the next person does it and they keep competing against each other to drive the prices down which is a great thing for people that are buying the shoe but also bad for the people that are selling the shoe obviously it’s a two-way street I’m just trying to give you guys both perspectives when it comes to this shoe I hope this was helpful I hope you guys enjoyed this I hope this helps you with the comparison seeing more details about the shoe honestly I love love love love love this shoe it’s gonna be in my top ten pickups of 2020 I guarantee you all right y’all
