The original black and Metallic Silver Air Jordan V colorway that released all the way back in 1990 is about to grace store shelves with its nubuck beauty as the last AJV to touch down in 2011. There were quite a few Air Jordan 5 Retros released this year in honor of the model’s 21st birthday, but with several new designs among them, did your favorite pair even make the cut? Complex set to figuring out which AJVs are the best and came up with their 15 Best Air Jordan Vs of All-Time list, and like always, there’s bound to be some controversy about the order and omissions. Click through to see a sampling of what’s in store, leave a comment to let the world know what you think and head over to Complex to read the list in its entirety.

laney's and ragging bulls best colorways next to the og's. Fire reds w/ nike sign are dope also
August 18th, 2011 at 1:39 pm

August 18th, 2011 at 1:43 pm

August 18th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
I take that back wheres the wolf greys
August 18th, 2011 at 1:52 pm
I think whoever made this was on crack, really BIN 5 as the 2nd best 5? Cmon now just cause it has a BIN stamp doesn't mean it is a good colorway.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
grapes. i know thats a "hypebeast answer," but it theres really not much competition..
August 18th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
The V's are my favorite
August 18th, 2011 at 2:04 pm
IMO, ALL AJ V colorways are dope!
August 18th, 2011 at 2:13 pm
You might disagree with the list somewhere, but at least they got all the OG's in the top 4 right.

August 18th, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Da Tokyo 23's shouldn't be in da top 5, da Green Beans should be tho, imo. And where r da Stealth V's, they should be on this list, i'll take those over da LaserV's, dat's me tho.
August 18th, 2011 at 2:33 pm
lol the wolf greys shouldn't have even made the list bruh, but straight up the grapes will forever be the best colorway of the 5's hands down
August 18th, 2011 at 2:34 pm

August 18th, 2011 at 2:35 pm

August 18th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Metallics
Red suede
Burgundy
fire red
Grapes
laneys
Wolf grays
3m
Cdp 5
August 18th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Grapes would be first on my list, but the laneys would definitely have to be on my top 3. To me they're a great colorway, classic, and highly underrated. Man I wish jb would retro those!
August 18th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
raging bulll!
August 18th, 2011 at 5:59 pm
laser 5's are disgusting… my opinion
August 18th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
Gape 5's, greatest of all time!!
August 18th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
im just being honest when i say i dont lik metallic 5's, and i think the quais ans motorsports are better then the wolf greys
August 18th, 2011 at 7:23 pm
i like your list better!!!!
August 18th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
i hope they drop the grapes in two years for the 23rd anniversary!! im def coppin then, even though theyll probably be 170-175 cuz retro prices go up every year. smh hopefully not tho
August 18th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
^^^what he said^^^^
August 18th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
I think Metallica should be up there but that's just me there are mad fruit cakes up in complex
August 18th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
I personally love all V's.
The one that stands out the most to me is the Original white/blk/red Nike A I R.
Its the first one Mike debuted in 1989.
August 18th, 2011 at 7:55 pm

4. Quai 54
5. Suede Raging Bull

August 18th, 2011 at 8:23 pm
grapes are to much hype man i'd rather have the raging bulls
August 18th, 2011 at 8:25 pm
yeah i know the plums dont look good in pics but on feet they crazy and even tho the wolf grey wasn't an original colorway but the actually came out dope.
August 18th, 2011 at 8:45 pm
Why put the Wolf Greys there? Switch em for the Olympic 5's at least
August 18th, 2011 at 8:53 pm
Bins are plain they should be dead last
August 18th, 2011 at 9:13 pm
And they have the tokoyo's at 5 they really trippin. Those belong at the bottom pit with the bins, who in the hell made this list what person. Where are the kids colorway and females too they really tripping.
August 18th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
toykos over laneys? gtfo
fire reds with the 3m tongue should be #1
August 18th, 2011 at 9:44 pm

1.Metalic
2.Grape
3.Fire Red
4.Laney
5.Laser
6.CDP(OG)
7.Carolina

What Challl think?
August 18th, 2011 at 10:30 pm
I personally think all the new shit is ugly..
quai 54?-looks like a stupid ass starburst color and way too flashy
Wolf grey?-nothing special…just following the grey hype
tokyo?-too yellow
Raging bulls? Terrible quality for a package release…one drop of water and theyre practically destroyed, not to mention the grey one loosk terrible with the 3m
Bin23?looks like fake ass knock off overpriced…metallics…not to mention 1 step in them wuld crease them for life…
JB IS GARBAGE NOW. and whoever did that list for this topic should be slapped in the face by an OG pair of V's
August 18th, 2011 at 11:01 pm
Mike u a silly dude
August 18th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
I like da fact u got da Stealth V's on ya list!
August 18th, 2011 at 11:57 pm
Take out wolf greys and put in burgundy's carolinas and this would be very very accurate.
August 19th, 2011 at 1:55 am

August 19th, 2011 at 12:32 pm

August 19th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
LANEYS SHOULD DEF. BE IN THE TOP 5..I HOPE ITS NOT ANY PARTICULAR ORDER
August 19th, 2011 at 2:58 pm
stealths shouldve been on the list
August 19th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
the Bin 5's shouldnt even be on the list they r ugly as hell
August 20th, 2011 at 4:57 pm
Laney's, Grape's, & Raging Bulls were the best of the V collection
August 21st, 2011 at 8:05 pm
grapes shouldn't have been on this list
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Lasers are ass cakes
August 24th, 2011 at 3:27 pm
