2011 is already shaping up to be a worthy follow-up to 2010′s monster release, with the confirmation of the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’, Air Jordan III in both Black and White, and various other new Retro colorways. One such newbie is this Air Jordan V Retro, featuring a white patent leather upper with navy blue and varsity red trim. The midsole features a nice Olympic-like combination of Obsidian and Varsity Red with trademark AJ5 details like the translucent outsole and the 3M oversized tongue. 2011 could be deemed be the ‘Year of the V’ with this new colorway along with the Wolf Grey and OG Black/Metallic Silver – and don’t forget the rumored release of the ‘Grape/Laney’ Pack. What do you think about the ‘Olympic’ Air Jordan V? Check out the extra shot after the jump and let us know your thoughts. via TSG.

January 4th, 2011 at 7:17 pm
The colorway is nice. (Thought that waz Black, instead of Navy for a sec) 2011 is gonna be $PECTACULAR! Hopefully, JB releases some more UNEXPECTED HEAT in 2011! Also, lets see if SNEAKERNEWS gives away more SERIOUS HEAT after the AJ XI "Cool Greys" giveaway!
January 4th, 2011 at 7:17 pm

January 4th, 2011 at 7:24 pm

January 4th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Hot but would rather not have patent leather
January 4th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
yeah i gotta see more pics otherwise i'll pass
January 4th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Patent leather on the V's is definitely a no go.
January 4th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Patent leather is the most played out thing on sneakers. Sad that it has been that way for years now, and sad that people still get excited by the stuff.
January 4th, 2011 at 7:59 pm
There have been patent 5's before aswell…
January 4th, 2011 at 8:03 pm
they look ok but i wanna see some detailed images
January 4th, 2011 at 8:04 pm
These look nice, but I need to see more pics…I don't know about all that patent leather smh.
January 4th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
need more pics but i think these would look better if the red wasn't speckled and they used a smooth or tumbled leather instead of patent.
January 4th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
leave the patent leather for the 11's. Jordan releases are looking more and more like the fakes you would see on omars kicks just more expensive…
January 4th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
These are cute! Im Coppin.
January 4th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
These are ok but I want to see those Stealth Grey and Black 3s dropping in September
January 4th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
pistons still have some kind of blue lol
January 4th, 2011 at 8:46 pm
Let Jordan Brand's assault on my wallet begin!
January 4th, 2011 at 8:48 pm
Hypebeast are gonna love these lmao. There are so ugly.
January 4th, 2011 at 8:49 pm
DerrLee23 is right. The Air Jordan V (5) White Dark Army Del Sol had a white patent leather upper.
January 4th, 2011 at 8:52 pm
I hope they still release the white/metallic silver V's. These would have been better without patent leather and not to mention all white upper V's has been done alot already, og colors or more creative colorways would be nice, like the toro bravo pack.
January 4th, 2011 at 8:59 pm
I hate all white patent leather shoes!!! Way to homo for me!!!
January 4th, 2011 at 9:04 pm
So sick, I'll take 2.
January 4th, 2011 at 9:09 pm

January 4th, 2011 at 9:14 pm

Hmmm, Decent CW.
I still want more images though.
January 4th, 2011 at 9:21 pm

January 4th, 2011 at 9:48 pm
I'll leave these for the younguns. Patent V's are just turr-able.
January 4th, 2011 at 9:51 pm
Fusions inspiring retros? remember the red/white/and blue five fusions? ewwww. the patent leather is not a good look.
January 4th, 2011 at 10:34 pm

January 5th, 2011 at 1:43 am
I love the colorway….but I think they should've left out the patent…have to see these in person
January 5th, 2011 at 1:50 am
Man that patent leather messes the whole shoe up. How you suppose to rock these on the court and be taken seriously? "Hey guys, check out these dress shoes I'm wearin for the game! Imma tap dance for you guys at halftime in these mirrors I got on."
January 5th, 2011 at 1:55 am

January 5th, 2011 at 2:44 am

January 5th, 2011 at 10:47 am
If someone described these to me I'd have a disappointed face but The patent leather honestly doesn't look bad…I'd prefer some regular leather but oh well, I'm not gonna bitch about it.
January 5th, 2011 at 2:16 pm

January 5th, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Premium leather would be CRACK!
