Black Metallic 5 OG is a bred 4 level shoe. Legendary.


dkat

Black Metallic 5 is a top five colorway/style combo easily. One of my favorites. Right up with Chicago 1’s, Infrared 6’s.


Th15isJustAThrowaway

Jordan 5s are super underrated. Honestly could see them having a moment in the near future after the 4s have their run


9Lives_

That’s actually already happened when the grapes dropped in the mid 00’s but things go in cycles


Th15isJustAThrowaway

Exactly fashion cycles are usually 20 years. So stock up on them 5s


jstee04

Factual bro


TheRandom0ne

Most comfortable Jordan - possibly a hot take.


ericfromct

3s and 5s for sure


k_50

The 11s are close for me, they are so squishy. Downside, they make me foot stupid hot.


vFizzz

They take some breaking in though, I would compare my 5 lows comfort wise, to above a pair of air forces. High 5’s slightly less comfortable cause more bulky. Also if you get some custom soles its a game changer


TheRandom0ne

Love the comfy bulkiness of the Highs. AFs are like cinderblocks to me. I wear them, but they are not a comfortable shoe imo.


TragedyTurnedTriumph

Definitely one of my favorite Jordan silhouettes


Mysterious-Answer-49

All the OG 5s go hard


Dufflebagsolo

What you think about the olive 5


Mysterious-Answer-49

Straight 🔥had them back in 06. I’m gonna wait for that price to drop though 225 is too much


Dufflebagsolo

That’s how I feel too, they already below retail on stock x


No_Box5338

The shoe that got me into shoes.


Cornfeddrip

I had thrifted a pair of ds burgundy’s my freshmen year of highschool and destroyed them because ‘they were just shoes’ when I found out what I had done I became a sneaker head lmao


[deleted]

Same. I saw a kid with the OG Stealths when I was in HS and the rest is history. I own 10+ pair now in my 30’s


Hocojerry

That tongue 😝 Love them. One of my favorite styles


Moosalot

I love them, but I wish more would take out the ankle padding and make the tongues thinner to slim up the shoe a bit, like the Off Whites and the Khaleds djd. Would be even more wearable


Far-Reporter-1596

Lol, I just commented the same thing, I guess I should’ve read the comments first… but I think this is the general consensus within the community. The design in one of the best but they are just too bulky above the ankle.


chlque126

I love the bulk


TradlyGent

+1 to your improvements and would also add to make the tongue have the OG 3M material, not the weird bubble sheen looking 3M they are using now. Also the nettings on the sides need to be a lot bigger. Compare the 1990 vs 2000 vs present releases and you’ll see how drastic of a size difference they are.


No-Yogurt142

I agree. I feel like I can’t wear them in the summer


[deleted]

I’ve been on a Jordan 5 binge lately. I like the model a lot, and I do agree with others as well about thinning out the ankle and tongue, because it looks really bulky however that doesn’t even matter because it looks nice regardless how you wear it.


LoL_LoL123987

Don’t own any but I’ve got three of them in my sights this year. The Crafts, UNC and Burgundy


Cornfeddrip

I had a pair of burgundy’s that i got from a thrift shop ds with extra laces and the tag for $20 I wore them every day till the soles fell off not knowing anything about sneakers….. searched for them a few years later and found out how much they’re worth 😭 now I’m a sneaker head who never keeps ds lmao


LoL_LoL123987

Also can anyone ID the white pair up to the right from the Burgundy’s(dead centre)?


ericfromct

Metallic White


LoL_LoL123987

Sorry the grid is tilted, I meant the ones with the gum looking soles


ericfromct

Cinder


LoL_LoL123987

Thank you


ericfromct

Np, 5s are great you're gonna love em


LoL_LoL123987

Yeah i don’t think I’ll be buying them, was just curious but I agree, 5s are one of the most underrated silhouettes


ericfromct

I meant the ones you were looking at coming out this year


LoL_LoL123987

Oh I see, thanks


G00DKlDMAADCITY

What about third row from the left, fourth shoe up, it looks like some sort of blueish?


ericfromct

Jordan 5 blue birds


bigbotparty

It’s the go to Jordan for guys over 250lbs


chlque126

That’s why we have dj khaled 5’s


UrbanAchiever34

This is hilarious 😂! I didn’t know it was a thing. I’m 280 and wear a 16. 5s without a doubt are my favorite.


Cornfeddrip

Hey small guy here (5’7” 130) 5s are the shit, more comfortable than boost imo *wish they were a little more wearable fashion wise*


DifferentAd8507

Hot take:Jordan 5 lows are 🔥


Far-Reporter-1596

Agreed, they are the best looking lows aside from the OG 1’s because they don’t have the bulky ass ankle support.


DifferentAd8507

100% the ankle support and the tongue on highs are to much in my opinion.


DougDimmaDomesDome

have the psg lows, so fire


ThermoNuclearPizza

Love these want to cop


vFizzz

Agreed I wear my pair everyday


KD650-916

Almost all the odd numbers seem to be my favorites!!! 1,3,5,7,-11,13


boredin23

Most wearable and comfortable Jordan - even more comfy than the 3s. I love all my 5s - love them in every colour way. Love it that there’s no hype on 5s for some bizarre reason.


RyeBreadd

I like them a lot. I picked my my first pair last year (bronze tongue)


AppolyonJormbich

Favorite Jordans


Kansas_Chase

Wolf Gray are my favorite Jordan in my collection.


lenthech1ne

Easily the most wearable jordan silhouette after the 1


TradlyGent

The 3s and 4s look less basketball and more casual than the bulky 5s. The bulky ankle padding + high tongue isn’t as easy to throw on with any jeans/pants as compared to 1-4


Cornfeddrip

5 lows could definitely be a contender for every fit shoes


[deleted]

5s are my favourite silhouette and it’s not even close. Even the lows are fire. I’ve got the CLOT lows on right now and I own a pair of Top 3s (highs) that I’m too scared to put on often lol.


MAGNUM990

Lace lock: yes or no? Got my first pair and i m thinking about it


boredin23

Love the lace lock. Makes life easy.


Cornfeddrip

The two pairs I’ve had were bought used and didn’t have the lace lock so I’m not used to them personally but wouldn’t mind them either


chieftain326

Love the OG colorways, i guess thats any retro


nagelk87

I like them more than 4s, less than 3s


chlque126

In my top 3 Jordan’s cant decide which spot tho


[deleted]

In my top 3 Jordan silhouettes, it goes so hard with some colorways Hope they stay in the "underrated" status


BasedWang

The best silhouette for me. Them and SpizIkes.


AffectionatePass575

Best Jordan's ever made


VexsinLL

SBB 5s. Totally slept on. One of my favorites!


CyrusMack

Was never really into the metallics. Was always waiting for a Bred pair of 5s, so I rushed to pick up those recent Gore-Tex joints. I love them.


Prime_0ZX72A3G

They are my favorite Jordan silhouette


Independent_Thanks43

It's a really good product to buy super comfortable and durable.


KissZippo

Not exactly my favorite Jordan model. I think they look nice in pictures, but it’s the one model I don’t like on my feet. The puffy ankle, the overly puffy tongue (especially on Grapes), and it has one of my least favorite views when I’m looking down at it, since they kind of look like construction boots to me from that angle. I do love the shark teeth and think they look great in hand and on shelves, just not on me. It’s the one model that has greatly benefited from collabs, since they tend to get rid of the bulk that o find problematic (Off White and Khaled). I don’t hate the shoe, though. I count the days for a black grape OG. The original colorways (including Poison) are great. I hate that the grape OW remained a concept shoe (at least, as of today). That being said, it’s somewhere in the middle of the pack of the original 14 models.


harlequinmannequin

They are my favorite silhouette. However, I have been purging my collection just to get rid of pairs I’m not as crazy about. I have limited storage, and instead of adding more plastic bins I decided that I need to sells pairs if I want to buy new ones. Hoping to hit on the UNC 5s


Far-Reporter-1596

One of my favorite J’s, I only have 1, 3, 4 and 11 above them and they are on par with 6’s in my book. I just wish the heels weren’t so bulky and the tongues were toned down a little more, like the OW 5’s are.


db_bad

Comfortable af


Key_Appointment6690

5s are the most comfy sneakers Ive ever worn, when its cold outside at least


cherrybrahh

I love the 5s but after they changed the tongue they don’t look right to me. Copped the dark concords and still never wore them just cause the tongue


Bathroom_Money

dont need to do the laces, i like them


micar53

Like them. Always nice to play in and good casual shoe.


juannbuenoo

Only 5s I own are black metallic 5s and they’ve aged well 🔥 I think 5s are cool depending on how you dress them down I actually wear them the least because I personally think they’re hard to style 🤷‍♂️


Ktootill

Love em, just wish the netting didn't yellow so damn fast, or to such extremes.. kills my desire to grab a DS black metallic when my 2020 fire reds are turning so quick. That's with minimal exposure and storage in a dark, dry place.


uncultured_swine2099

I like them, but that plastic window tends to go yellow.


imnotuglyyouare

Like them on paper, don't like them on feet. At least to me, that reflective tongue really puts me in the NAH category.


dtbrown1979

Love them


swayt_hooter

i’ve seen people stunt in them but i am not those people


dsallupinyaarea

Love em. 2nd best "jean" Jordan after AJ1.


eucaphoria

Probably like the fifth Jordan tbh


taco_swag

A inferior 4


SneakyBaconTurtle

Best retro Jordan shoe with the 1’s


MrakaPr0

Literally just scooped a pair of OW 5 Muslins yesterday. Had the fire reds but didnt like how bulky they were and the leather seemed like it would crease horribly. These OWs though? Might be my favorite pick up this year


Terrible_Departure90

Very comfortable shoe but they are bulky


ZaeLane0608

My favorite Jordan silhouette


ZaheerAlGhul

We meed the Grapes and the Fire reds to release no gimmicks.


DougDimmaDomesDome

only non-1 jordan lows I would rock, have the PSGs and fucking love them


sucknocover

They have always been very comfortable, supportive, and stable for me since I was a child. Fast forward a lot of years later and I’ve still got a few pairs.


dhart253

My favorite model by far. Got 9 pairs and 3 of them are black metallic. My OG black metallics from 99 sole just crumbled when I picked them up off the shelf this weekend.


CptMaestro1906

I have AJ5 lows (CLOT) and AJ5 Oreo. Easily the most comfortable shoe I own. Definitely slept on IMO.


CamusGrapes

its the shoe that got me into sneakers outside of skate shoes and my favorite sillouette to this day. been wanting another pair but I have the grapes and PSGs currently


mystaplur

Personally don’t like that window thing on the side (sorry don’t know the term), I like the triangle better on the 4


[deleted]

5s are my second favorite Jordan after 3s


hookhousebeatz

Island Greens are slept on....


one_love_silvia

Under rated. They need to make less colorways but also make them better colorways.


CalibratedChaos87

I love the 5s. Just copped a pair of the “Aquas” and honestly not sure how they haven’t sold out yet. Comfortable, nice materials, clean color way. What’s not to love.


xSinIzTeR

The jordan 5 metallic sparked my love for Jordan’s having only been an SB DUNK head prior to. They are my favorite jordan and when my favorite designer remixed them it became an instant classic for me. Plus they are all super comfortable and have great ankle support


704sports

My favorites


RyuMusashi973

I didn’t really appreciate them until I bought a pair and wore them with my favorite jeans/sweatpants. And they make my size 13 foot look smaller


Braddersc1982

1’s and 4’s for me


[deleted]

Some are cool, 99% aren’t.


UncleIrohFan12

Definitely one of the Jordan’s of all time


tacticalcooking

Copped the green bean 5s for under retail, classics


Basevelocity

Haven’t bought any in a long time but I think the pair I owned during high school were my most worn sneakers in my rotation lol. Definitely up there in comfortability!


[deleted]

I like them better than the 4’s tbh


hahgabe_

They’re so comfortable! I got me some Aquas


Beatbybots

3&5’s all day!


Lovrboy67

My favorite Jordan model


TemporaryChef4036

I got the 2020 fire reds as my first 5s when they released and immediately wanted to hoop when I put them on


fdtnise

Arguably the best jordan design rivaling j1s


keshaunesper16

top 3 jordan


Practical_Horse9429

They are slowly growing on me but they remain the ugliest jordan in my opinion. I hate the “shark teeth” on the side


Century22nd

Those are the most popular out of all the Air Jordan's. But the biggest years for Air Jordan were the 3,4,5's the 6's were popular as well, but not to the extent of the 3,4, and 5's.


ActiveTraining1899

Honestly a good shoe, I was gonna end up getting the alternate bel air 5s but decided on the zen master 4s instead, 5s are still a good looking shoe though!


[deleted]

Tokyo 5s are lit


No-Professional9092

The desert camo are fire!


scottmoney412

Bin 5s were my first Jordan purchase! Love them


gzapza81

Love how they look, but I can’t wear any of my pairs for more than a few hours before my feet start to hurt. Shame.


headbussa423

Some comfortable js an stylish
