Arguably the biggest year for the Air Jordan V since 1990 winds to a close with the release of this original colorway. The black and Metallic Silver AJ5s are well-timed with a release right around the start of the next school year, their classic good looks a potential reminder for young students on the value of persistence. MJ was notably cut from his varsity basketball squad as a freshman and though he went on to secure a scholarship and win a national championship at UNC, the early part of his NBA career saw established powers like the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons bully and bash their way past the Bulls. It was during the ’90 playoffs that MJ lost his last series during which he played the full regular season, a sea change moment that was followed by the immortal double three-peat. So check out this living relic of hard work and determination in more photos after the jump and stick with Sneaker News in case we find them available early. via rstor

July 12th, 2011 at 12:07 pm
fuuuucckkk…. pay for college or get these??? the stress is building up -____-
July 12th, 2011 at 12:07 pm
No release date yet?
July 12th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
All-Time favorite Jordan for me. My '06 pair is ran through. I am going to try and get 2 pairs of these. It seems as if JB fixed the lint problem. I see a little but not as much as the first look. Looks good to me, a must have on my shoe list.
July 12th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
Never had this colorway so I'm definitely getting these but I'm not liking the sole. I like the clear sole better even though it yellows ugly.
July 12th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
uhh, try 07
July 12th, 2011 at 12:19 pm
AND may I add, this is NOT the biggest year for the 5's. If the Grape/Laney pack dropped, THEN it would be the biggest year. Wolf Grey, USA, GS only releases, and Metallic's do not equal biggest year.
July 12th, 2011 at 12:21 pm
Gotta get these!!!!
July 12th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
