I lost my big long post cause of this. I thought it got deleted cause I used the s-word. lol. I retyped a shorter version. I remember lots about my shoes from the 90's. I hope it helps.
Back in the day, the suede shoes got those white edges when from age. The edges were darker but the older the shoe became, the lighter the edges were. So the kinda put a vintage vibe on this one without yellowing the soles. It’s the perfect touch for the reimagined series.
@ no one said Nike did white edges dude. The edges were generally lighter than the shoe itself and the more the shoe aged, the lighter the edges got. , causing the edges to look white. Some of you are too smart for your own good. If you didn’t come up when they made similar shoes, just find photos of old worn shoes online. There are photos of OG Jordans everywhere.
Black metallic 5s were my first pair of Js, and the pair that got me into the shoe game....nowadays i dont really mess with 5s, but they killed it with these....love the white laces too
I was 12 in 1990, yes I'm old. I had white/red 5's but I had lots of friends with black metallics. These reimages look like the edges of the panels are PAINTED white. 1990 OG's black panels did have contrast around the edges but it was from the unpainted backing of the leather itself, no paint. Those OG lines did become more noticeable as you wore them. The OG toe boxes were closer to being flat, search up 1990 ads for AJ5's if you want to see for yourself. I do like the newer more square top toe box, I think it looks more finished & clean. I own several versions of Retro 5's & the reflective material on the tongues is way too thicc & stiff like there is a layer on top of the material that is reflective & can be scratched off. The OG material was more like a medium weight nylon fine thread that was itself reflective. The new versions seems like they're bright most of the time but the OG's were closer to a medium to dark gray in low light. The shine from both versions are similar though. I love almost everything about these reimages & can't wait to pick these up.
@@justinholliday579 Always stitched NIKE AIR in white embroidery on the OG's. Also forgot to mention only later runs of 1990 OG's had the 23 on the side panel. Not a fan of it.
I was lucky enough to have these when they first were released, back in the 8th grade. My boy bought the black tounge version and my cousin bought the fire red. As a kid back then they felt like ordinary shoes, nothing special. I had them up until 1995, I joined the military and my brother decided he needed some kush and sold all of my J's I had and clothes. That was a very bad year, I didn't talk to my brother until 3 years later. The black was all black and as they aged you could see the so called white edges more.
I love the idea of adding the white shoe laces but wish it was an OG release instead of reimagined. I don’t need 3M on the back heel or white outline. Give me this cut in OG form. I was 7 when these came out.
When OG Metallic 5s Age they naturally get a white lining due to the material soooooo you can say this is another “lost and found” type of situation without the aged box and stuff
1. jordan only wore white laces one time in the playoffs(to match the team accessories(white)). 2 the edges were black brand new but technology at the time couldn't roll edges so as time went on it were exposed the raw materials. the black metallic 5 were pretty much made as the nike lite flight mid that released. if you look at them now they have the grey lines
The only thing that disappointed me was they claimed a PE inspired theme but forgot the 23 on the side… so technically the ‘07 and the 2011 pairs are closest to the game worn OG.
Tony what up...Really quick...I'm a veteran and definitely had these back in 04/05 ish to run in while at basic training. No go bruh... Just rock em for fashion only
So I'm wondering how far they going to go with the reimagined series. We have 1's. 3's. 4's. & now 5's. You think they going on to 6's or what do you think will be next. I'm just curious
Na bro the 1990 5's had a very slanted toebox, not boxy at all, 2020 fire reds suck in this aspect, no retro managed to replicate the shape since the og. Check out some pics of 1990 pairs on google or theres even some reviews on youtube.
Love the eggplant color on the Kobes....but the gold snake ruins it for me. Kinda backwards that nike did the og kobe 8 "year of" colorways relatively simple, considering how many wild colorways those kobe 8s had...now they putting crazy graphics on 5s, which were typically more conservative designs. 🤷🏻♂️
Bro the toe box on your Fire Red 5 looks super fake imho where did you buy? On my pair the toe box is super flat and I bought it in retail. I am kinda unhappy with the toe box of the upcoming Black Metallic because my Fire Red is so much better.
FORGIVE ME GUYS I HAD TO REUPLOAD THIS DUE TO A ERROR OF SOME WEIRD ZOOMING ! COMMENT DOWN BELOW IF YOU DOUBLED BACK FOR A VIEW !
I did

Double up on vid!
Shox are still trash but I respect your opinion
Yes they did
freaky ahh jordan 5 unboxing
Bruh 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
💀😂
Bro 2WiLd
I'm dead 😂😂😂😂 his freaky uncut watching ass
Dope review man. Metallic 5s will be my first pickup of the year.
are these going to be hard to cop?? im wondering should I wait for release or just buy resell?
if you put in your footwork (raffles, sign ups) you should be able to cop for retail bro.
@MoneyOverFame wait for release and if you don't get them, then go Resale route
@@MoneyOverFameshould be easy hypbeast on the bred 1s

Not true. The black durabuck had light grey edges brand new
@ dude you say grey, I say white. Same concept. Whatever color you call the edges, they faded as the shoe aged.
@ maybe you should have read the last part of the comment.
Tell em', Nike wasn't doing no kind of white edges back in the day
@ no one said Nike did white edges dude. The edges were generally lighter than the shoe itself and the more the shoe aged, the lighter the edges got. , causing the edges to look white.

The sloped toe box and the raw edges "white outline" is 100% from the OG's. I personally owned an OG pair back in the day.
New ones have 3M piping apparently. O.Gs didn't
I'm not 100%.Just going off memory, and info, but I do puff mad ganja so don't quote me 😅
@@KINGLEPRECHAUN
lol you're right
@@KINGLEPRECHAUNthe piping was said to be 3m but it isn’t…..I guess they did it differently
@@KINGLEPRECHAUNit was supposed to be 3M that’s what they originally planned but they changed it to just white

You telling your age with that song Tony. They don’t know about our traumatizing childhood with uncut. 5s are muy perfecto!! Can’t wait.
These metallic 5s are first on my list this year 🔥
You on some freaky ish with the Jordan 5 unboxing 😂
This is the bomb first on my 2025 list I’m hoping to cop 👮🏾 for retail
I'm 46, from my memory they did NOT have the highlited white piping. Had em 😢
You're right, initially they didn't but over the years the edges faded and looked white
@54biggie word, makes sense
This was my first pair of js. I’m 43 yrs old though and had the og metallics. So this will forever be my favorite retro.
The Jordan 5 is 🔥. I want those the most of January and February release. Those and the bred 1’s are must cops
Tuff Kobe 🔥🔥🔥
This guys ability to do math and explain things befuddles me and also inspires me. Cause if this guy can be successful anyone can be successful
The grapes are the closest to the shape if I’m not mistaken. It’s like recent pairs of 4s with the Nike air on the back.
The 5s are actually nice with hints of white around the toe box
Can’t wait to get these soon 😊
Wax a million 😂 remember seeing that video on BET Uncut when I was young

What about the Nike tag at the back? If you know at all, was the Nike sign always stitched in or was it printed on.
@@justinholliday579 Always stitched NIKE AIR in white embroidery on the OG's.

@ thanks for responding back. I’m also not a fan of the 23 on the side either. Im not sure I really want these.
wonder if a ⚡️shock drop??
The white outlining through out the shoe is actually a reflection just like the tongue is

🔥🔥🔥 Review, im waiting on that Jordan 5 Black Metallic, right now its my sneaker of the year!!
10:24 what about the Re-Imagined Bred Jordan 4s? The all leather joints.
I love the idea of adding the white shoe laces but wish it was an OG release instead of reimagined. I don’t need 3M on the back heel or white outline. Give me this cut in OG form. I was 7 when these came out.
Good luck on the health journey big fella 🦾
When OG Metallic 5s Age they naturally get a white lining due to the material soooooo you can say this is another “lost and found” type of situation without the aged box and stuff
Holla at me,WHEN THEY ARE ALL LEATHER BLACK METALLIC (THAT WOULD BE A REAL REIMAGINED SHOE) TOTALLY NOT IMPRESSED.DEFINITELY A PASS!!!
My dawgggg blew all the way up💯

The OG 5 blk mettalic from 1990 did have white edges, just not as white. The retro from 2000 and the 07 5s had white edges.
Tone hitting us with the BET Uncut classics 😂 I dead ass pulled that video up the other day
I also got into running late in life but its the best decision I ever made. Second best decision was running in some wave runners by Mizuno.
tone goin crazy with the black metallics lmao
Yes the original jordan 5 from 1990 had the white outline, with black laces! I had those!
BET Uncut….I ain’t got no panties on, on the dance floor 😂😂😂
Oouuu I can’t wait for these to drop🙏🏾
2:48 Vince Carter had the Shox 🥶 bk in the day. He had on the Olympic pair when he jumped over that guy in the Olympics.
Great review im definitely coppin
Question do you wear then shoes in the back wall ?? If so whats the point of keeping them deadstock when those will break apart if not worn over time
Hey Tony. How’s the sizing with these 5 reimagined? Is it TTS or need to go half size down? Ty in advance 👌🏻
These is so hard.🔥💯
How's the fit? True to size?
Them shocks clean
Tony what up...Really quick...I'm a veteran and definitely had these back in 04/05 ish to run in while at basic training. No go bruh...
Just rock em for fashion only
9:11 i started singing along iykyk
Did they come with black laces?
*😅Clarity 🔥 these are More Suttle than the White ones you but those Out soles crash once aged out, an you have Convinced me 2 buy a Pair 💪🏾*
So I'm wondering how far they going to go with the reimagined series. We have 1's. 3's. 4's. & now 5's. You think they going on to 6's or what do you think will be next. I'm just curious
The 5s crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Definitely 💯 going to cop these 5s to add to my 5 collection
Those 5s🔥🔥🔥
Fire red, metallic & flu games are the only cops I care for this year
Hopefully, we get to see you do an on feet yours are the best in the game one of the best 5s ever made

8:12 Jordan 5 black metallic reimagined
Goat 🐐
Nike shox are 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I got the all black pair and the gold and black pair
Are these true to size?
9:13 BET CLASSIC 😂
I can’t wait to get my pair of 5s! They will go nicely next to the black cat 3s I just got on the sneaker app.
The Nike shox Tl are more versatile with style and look better imo
Those shocks 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌
“On the dance floor” 😂
Jordan 5 ❤
Is it ok if I copped the black cat 3s and I pass out on these ? 😢
These a must cop
I had these black and blue shox flight elite. One of my favorites.
Love the eggplant color on the Kobes....but the gold snake ruins it for me.

Them Sick af
My 2016 are like 8/10 right now . But I gotta cop feb 8th 🔥
Yessirrr 🔥🔥🔥 much better 👌🏾👌🏾
Some of y'all too young for that uncut back in the early 2000s on BET
No they did not do the white lining on the sneakers in the 1990s now they was some pairs that did show the raw line a little bit
bro said “im copping the shoe”as if he doesn’t have it a month early😂😂
Nike need to bring back the Nike Shox Vince Carter line.
I heard the outline is new.
I hit on those Kobe’s, can’t wait to get them in hand
Blk 5s is more the shape we don’t want the boxy banana shape I just rather stitched 3m instead of that plastic 3m
Automatic double up on them 5s even if i pay resell idc fav 5 of all time
Replacing my bred 1 excitement for these (for obvious reasons) 🤣
aye man i wanna apologize for just now subscribing 😭 i been following you on instagram and watching your videos for like 2 years now 🤦🏾♂️
Bro the toe box on your Fire Red 5 looks super fake imho where did you buy? On my pair the toe box is super flat and I bought it in retail. I am kinda unhappy with the toe box of the upcoming Black Metallic because my Fire Red is so much better.
MJ wore them with black laces and white laces
Man, i wish i could fit 8.5! 🎉
Already took a L on the black cats. Nike I need these in my life. If I lose again I’m crashing out. Omm
I was into the nike shox when I was in JR High. Late 2000s. I would not recommend running in those.

Great summer shoe

The originals did not have that outline....I can't take the stripes!
