2006. I was in my senior year high school. Wanted these so bad. During those times, they just released some dope non OG colorways! Man what a time ! Simpler times and fun times waiting in line and meeting new people without the fights and nonsense. Needless to say, I never got a pair but I might aim for these this year. Took me back back right to high school. Man!
Yessir. These and the burgundy 5 LS were Foot Action exclusives. The apparel that went with both LS joints were 🔥👍🏼. When I’m in a bad mood, I usually listen to music. If I do decide to watch RUclips vids, I watch old videos and or food related vids.
I was a year out of High School and a new Dad so I was broke when these came out 🤣. I wanted them then, and I can get them now. Thanks Nightwing for your amazing knowledge and great on feets💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Legit you guys are my pick me up videos , like not emotionally but it’s like eating your favorite meal for dinner type of euphoria. I love just getting new reviews on shoes .
My pick-me-up is a movie - “D2 The Mighty Ducks.” So nostalgic and fun. A lot of times I’ll just have it on in the background while I’m doing things around the house and that alone will help me get out of a mood haha.
My go to for "pick me up" is watching skits/scenes from the 80s/90s shows I enjoyed as a kid (some I probably shouldn't have watched to begin with LOL): - TMNT - TGIF anything - In Living Color - Married w Children - etc
I bought these back in 2006 (Still have em)...Got the hoodie that came out with it too! I miss the apparel that used to drop with Jordan releases 😎 I'll be getting a new pair when they drop!
Im loving the nostalgia factor with so many of those early to mid 2000s Js retroing again the last few years ; very early into JB's foray into non-OG colorways. Thunder 4s , Chambray 7s , Burgundy 5s and now these Olive 5s etc. Problem for me with 5s i consider more a middle of the road silhouette and a colorway like these not as wearable for me anymore compared to when i originally got them almost 20 years ago. I do like that JB replicated the texture on the material close to the OG. I just know similar to the Burgundy 5s where the nostalgia and being on sale got me to circle back and grab them ; probably the same will happen here and will not wear these much the same way i haven't worn the Burgundys much at all since i bought those. If i had to guess like the Burgundys these will not be instant sell-outs and might eventually go on sale. But the earth-tones are quite popular now so we will see.
The lines are because the color olive is really hard to dye evenly. So they put lines or checker patterns to hide inconsistent patches. I have a pair of olive leather boots from Caterpillar and a pair of Oboz with olive leather parts. They both have those lines.
I graduated high school spring of 06. so when I iwent to college in the fall these released and i wasn't able to ever get them. but these are the last pair of 5s from that era ive always wanted. I got the grapes, the raging bulls, the Burgundy's, and now I have these. was able to grab them from footlocker today. so im excited to have them all together
I own the 2006 ones and now the new ones. Back then Nike wrote that they were an oiled suede…this time around the Nike site says mixture of suede and canvas. If I compare my pairs, the color is a bit different…the old ones being darker and actually look as if the were oiled or waxed. As I hardly wore mine back the, I would claim the color difference has little to do with age. I also think they are true to size, not bigger. My old ones are US 9, the new ones US 9,5 and the 9 fit a bit tighter…9,5 def. more comfortable. That orange lace lock thingy is def. different i. color…old one is lighter and has no Jordan…. Happy these are back!
The V's are my favorite Jordan shoe because had the OG white and reds back in HS 1990 (and I currently have the 2020 retro). But I'm not too into a lot of the later releases. There are some CWs that I do like but most are expensive and hard to get like the Michigan 5s. I eventually want to own all 4 of the OG CWs (Black metallic in particular) . I hope they all come out again in the next few years.
These were not on my radar at all but I always remembered how intriguing the original pair was to me when I started collecting. If these go on sale they’re mine
WearTesters is a good pick me up video for me. I prefer when Chris and Jodi are in the video together. I like the husband and wife videos best. Thanks guys.
Unless it's a collab or OG colorway (or super limited), I honestly don't see any Jordan selling out right away. Fact that the olive 4s are STILL sitting 3 months later is all the proof you need. Honestly, SB dunks are.the only sure thing nowadays from nike or JB
I really don’t like 5s. But I still watch the video for the stories😅 The only shoe I’m worried about that’s left to release this spring is the military 4s. I haven’t had them since 06.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but why doesn't JB/Nike move away from polyurethane midsoles in an effort to avoid the inevitable crumbling down the road?
Can’t wait for these to drop. This colorway is FIRE. Love my burgundy 5’s too. 5’s don’t get enough credit. And the new cut of the toe box is waaaay better than the older models.
I remember when I was in 5th grade when the Jordan 5's and 6's released. I remember the 6's being too hard and the 4's hurting pinky toes so the best choices was the Jordan 5 and Jordan 3
I’m about 90% sure that’s a leather nubuck with a full width texture applied by a rolling drum. Very similar to how some action leathers have a full-grain tumbled leather texture applied near the end of the manufacturing process.
I can’t say I have a pick me up video but I love a good music playlist video, not like individual videos but like 40 mins to an hour long. Also just wanted to say I heard the complex sneaker news guys give you praise on their most recent episode and I was like whoooaa Easter egg. It made me feel like there’s an sneaker RUclips universe (SYU).
I am with Chris on this, I prefer to listen to music when I am feeling down and it always helps. But I do not have a video(s) that I would watch, but anything like dog videos or blooper reels and such would probably help, just anything to lighten things up.
Video of dad getting his kid a new baseball bat, then later at the game he catches the home run ball from his son hit by said bat. That video always brightens my mood up
if i remember right, i think JB called the material Ballistic Mesh or something. i had these back in 06 with a matching Sean John jacket, ahhh the good old days
Honestly you. My favourite “pick me up “ RUclips videos are you two sillies. Especially when Jodi push the “annoy Chris” button! 🤣 Love it and y’all. Otherwise. Yeah. It’s music. Cheers!
Those 5s look so dope! I love 5s, is one of my fav Js ever. About the Question of the day, from the moment Jodi started to tell that intro from the Kyrie 2 vid it instantly came to my mind. I usually watch WT reviews from the past, specially if it's from a time when I was in a good streak or something and that Kyrie 2 vid is from the year I became a father. I have watched a lot of times that vid, the Harden 1, the Penny 2 Atlantic blue, I really revisit a lot of your content as a bring me up, but, I have another channel that also had that same effect, it's called Crosgrove and has amazing NBA stories vids. Shoutout to you guys and (a little late) congratulations on your 15 years being the GOAT shoetuber.
Had 2 pairs and these look great! Toe box don’t bother me on these. I have to go look in hand but I’m going to say from the video compares greatly to the original.
Was really hoping you'd do a review on the Olive 5, thank you! I'm definitely getting mine on the 2nd. 🔥🔥💚 My pick me up video, isn't really a video, it's Stephen Marley- Cool as the Breeze. Reminds me of my father and picks me up ! ❤
I’m definitely going after these Olive 5’s. I’ve always wanted them since 2006. I bought the Burgundy 5’s last year for the same reason. Both are grails to me! LS series was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just got these shoes! I have a red pair 'raging bulls' very comfortable cause the toe box is decently wide and they are very soft on the feet and ankles!
I agree with u bro the new 5 toe box not doing it for me but I did notice the sail oreo se pair that’s coming out looks like it has the thicker 5 toe box that we’re looking for
If the burgundy's sat, these will probably too. I got the burgundy's when they got down to 140 on stockxx. I'm hoping to get these below retail in 2 or 3 months
The material looks like Grasscloth which is a collective term for fabric hand woven from natural plant fibres such as sisal, seagrass, arrowroot, bamboo and jute. You have to be super careful with cleaning it DO NOT USE WATER!!! You will need to use a mild cleaner and blot
Yo, wallower here, my go to is the video of Limp Bizkit playing “Break Stuff” at Woodstock ‘99. It’s both heavy and hilarious so by the end of it I’m feeling pretty good.
Man I was on the fence with this pair and for some reason I totally forgot about the whole undefeated vibe it have and let them pass on the JD Sport EA twice, now I have to wait till release tomorrow to get them 🤦🏽♂️.
I wish I could like the 5’s as much as I did before I had them - I had like the 2018/2019 whatever fire reds and they just were so bulky I never wore them 🤷🏼♂️
Wasn't really into these. Mostly cuz of the color way. But after seeing the textile vibe of the material.. I'm def more into em now. Would probably cop if I could get under retail
The upper material looks the same in terms of texture but was a bit stiff on the OGs, the colour also was a little more muted on the OGs. The 3M is crap though, and I’m not a fan of the blue tint on the sole/panels. The natural yellowing really works on this colourway. The shape at the front is 😕 and the collar is much slimmer. But they look decent in comparison to the previous 5 retros (think 2010s).
The video that makes me laugh is the fan from Philly rescuing kids and mentioning the football player so casually in the interview and his mishaps of not catching the ball 😂
I tend to watch sneaker videos if I'm sad or bored. Like yesterday I went to the Weartesters channel and had a Jordan 13 Marathon!! Also I tend to watch funny animal videos or get lost in RUclips shorts as well.

My senior year as well
In 2006 I was entering a prison bid! I was so mad I couldn’t get them. Now in 2024 I have em! Never thought this would happen! Definitely a dope 5!
You’ll definitely get em this time around boss! Doubt the resellers will be going for these
2006 was my freshman year so I remember these bad boys 😅
I was a Junior here in Miami. Got ‘em today.
Lifestyle Jordans were the shit back in the day

These are 🔥! Olive colorways never get old! 💯
These and the burgundy 5s are my faves 🥵
5s are in my top 3 of Jordans i gotta pick these up.
My go to for "pick me up" is watching skits/scenes from the 80s/90s shows I enjoyed as a kid (some I probably shouldn't have watched to begin with LOL):
- TMNT
- TGIF anything
- In Living Color
- Married w Children
- etc
I'm so glad they brought these back. Wore these on my first day of school.
Weren’t interested in these but after the review, really interested now haha
I bought these back in 2006 (Still have em)...Got the hoodie that came out with it too! I miss the apparel that used to drop with Jordan releases 😎
I'll be getting a new pair when they drop!
Camped out for these when they first released. Will wait until they hit sales this time around lol they’ll definitely sit this time around.
TAXES Dropping bro so I don’t think they will sit 😂😂😂
Bro it’s been a long time since I’ve received a refund lmao but you’re right they’ll probably sell out
Sold out on SNKRS
Honestly wear testers brightens the day

Don't really have a specific video but channel wise if i'm in the dumps watching Urban Rescue Ranch always leaves me in a better mood
I used to have the matching olive/orange jacket. Jordan LS was a special time
I think these qualify as a classic AJ 5 at this point. So many people just love this colorway.
One of my fav 5s. I wore my og pair a ton of times before I sold them on eBay before they retroed. Took a long ass time but here they are haha
I never had a pair so I am going after them. If they are like the burgundy pair then they should be easy to get. I am a sucker for olive color ways.
Always Something There To Remind me , always calms me down somehow.

Watching Seinfeld clips makes my day! Yes I agree with you! I’m not buying any 5s until they fix that toe box! Keep up the great content!
Easy answer for the question of the day. The Pop Culture Podcast! Saturday morning, greatness. Can't wait for it to be back.
Thanks to you, I bought a pair today.
Imo this and the celedon 1s did the orange green perfectly. Chefs kiss

"Get out...or join me in the Dark Side" 😂
The material design is like a ripstop material similar to army fatigues ripstop material.
Jb needs to go back to the OG shape on 5s as well but still a must cop

Watching this Channel (WearTester) Helps break the ice in a busy day to change my mood from 🤬 to 😃... Keep it up # Respect👍👍👍
I seen an interview with MJ recently from back in the day and the suit he was wearing looked like the pattern in these kicks
Is the material they put on these and the burgundy’s better than the previous releases? Idk how I feel about it….
The material looks like Grasscloth which is a collective term for fabric hand woven from natural plant fibres such as sisal, seagrass, arrowroot, bamboo and jute.
You have to be super careful with cleaning it DO NOT USE WATER!!! You will need to use a mild cleaner and blot
Crazy how you are the only youtuber that talks about the toebox being wrong and tinfoil tongue, every other youtuber thinks thats the true og shape.
Dope a must have 👍🏽

These will be my first pickups of 2024.

Yes, these are a must cop! BTW, where did you get that shirt?🔥🔥🔥

So if you had to choose; these OR the Eggplant foams ??
OMG I need missed out in 06 A must for me but why in the same week as the lucky green 5s I want them both but can't LOL
Juvenile’s Back That Azz Up puts me in a good mood. Seriously, it’s a good pick me up.
For a pick me up, I like watching the Angry Video Game Nerd videos.
The video that makes me laugh is the fan from Philly rescuing kids and mentioning the football player so casually in the interview and his mishaps of not catching the ball 😂
Olive or burgundy 5s? Which 1 has better quality? Help
I love your videos man and wouldn't it be nice if Jordan Brand brought back the 23 on the sides😭
Pick me up video is the Volkswagen superbowl commercial from 2012 or 13 where the white guy has a Jamaican accent but is from Minnesota lol.
Idk if I'm getting older or what but Jordan's just not doing it no more. Same shoes, colors switched but the money I spend still green?
Are you guys doing the powder blue 9s?
I tend to watch sneaker videos if I'm sad or bored. Like yesterday I went to the Weartesters channel and had a Jordan 13 Marathon!! Also I tend to watch funny animal videos or get lost in RUclips shorts as well.
Sick daredevil shirt Chris
These are straight 🔥 💯
Always waited on your reviews. Bout time lol.
The material looks similar to the grey material used on the original "Bel-Air" 5s
Think these will be close to retail did not under after the release like the burgundy’s
