We just saw a Future Sole Melo M7 designed in celebration of Puerto Rican Day, but here’s another white, red and blue Jordan Brand release set to coincide with a similarly-themed summer holiday. The Air Jordan V Retro is a perfect sneaker to represent the July 4th holiday festivities, their patriotic, patent leather-based colorway as natural a fit for Independence Day as cookouts and fireworks. They’re undoubtedly one of the higher profile white sneakers that will hit stores this summer, but where do they rank in a 2011 that’s seen quite a few AJ5 designs? Click through for more images, let us know what you think of the white patent Air Jordan V and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their release. via Dunk

I don't know these come out after the retro foamposite pro. I don't think these going to sell out quickly. I'm wait for these to go on sale. All I know I'm getting the retro foamposite July 1st.

Im with you on that cuzzz, them Foamposites gone be some neck breakers.

I for one like this shoe. I really like the colorway. And i dont really mind the patient leather. So i will be instant copping these. And if you like this shoe to the point you know you will buy it, I advise you buy it when it drops. Because we all know there are those people that love to just buy Jordans so they can resell them on Craiglists & ISS. And they're 5's. Im sure they're gonna sell quick regardless. So don't sleep on these if you wanna buy em.

These will be called the OBSIDIAN 5s. Count on it.

Best photos I've seen for this shoe
June 13th, 2011 at 8:58 pm
anyone know where i can get them online right now?
June 14th, 2011 at 12:36 am
I think I have to see these in person before making up my mind. I hated the original pics , but these don't look that bad. The patent leather is still kinda weird lookin but it looks like they toned it down a little and I kinda like these pics..

I like the color way but the patent leather means instant creases and im not feeling that i might pass these just because of the foams aswell
June 14th, 2011 at 2:57 am
I could get these for my girlfriend so both of us can rock the same CW of the AJ5
June 14th, 2011 at 5:12 am
anyone know where can I get these is gs sizes now?
June 14th, 2011 at 9:02 am

June 14th, 2011 at 10:14 am
Def best pic of this shoe thus far, and really makes them look good, I predict these will be in stores for a while though
June 14th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
My local footlocker told me July 2nd, day after the Retro foams. Tough Decision
June 15th, 2011 at 1:30 pm
You should be called STUPID. The only thing obsidian is the inside.
June 18th, 2011 at 4:40 am
