You’ve been waiting twenty-one years for this day, and when it finally arrives, you’ll be waiting in line from the early morning?! We’re not talking about hitting the town for a pub crawl to celebrate your adulthood, but rather, the arrival of the Air Jordan V Retro in black nubuck with Metallic Silver accents. This is one of the original AJ5s that released back in 1990 and this new drop is essentially identical to the OG, save the conspicuous absence of ‘NIKE AIR’ branding. Perhaps it’s a testament to the design’s longevity that the Jumpman on the heel is equally attractive, and Toyko shoppers have already felt the pull toward Nike Harajuku where these just popped up in stock. Click through to see some more images, and if you can’t wait until the US release date this Saturday, go ahead and grab yours right now on eBay.

yeh, that's why i'm not copping these, but they defiantly are a good looking shoe.

why don't they retro without the 23? 23 makes them look cheaper.
