There are a few subtle differences between this look-see sample and the original 2000 ‘Laney’ Air Jordan V; can you spot them? This shoe that calls to mind the school where somehow MJ was only good enough to play varsity during his third year is also a reminder of a time before Jordan Retros were mortal locks for first-day sellouts. Things change as time passes, including more people on board with sneaker fever and a select few who can point out this pair’s black Jumpman on the heel (the OG Laneys’ were blue). We still have a bit of a wait on these with no firm date set for the Holiday 2013 drop, so check out some new images and consider purchasing this sample from undergrdnyc on eBay.

A few years back the rumors of a ‘Grape/Laney’ Pack was so titillating that it still gets talked about today, even when those rumors were squashed long ago. All Jordan fans had to do was wait until 2013 when the Air Jordan V would make a mass comeback because the Air Jordan V ‘Laney’ is indeed returning this year, with a rumored drop during the Holiday season. This colorway is not an original, but one of the first Retro+ colorways that pretty much started the whole craze of non-OG color-combos in the 2000s, but considering the history behind the yellow and blue (Jordan’s High School), these are held at very high esteem. This pair of the Air Jordan V ‘Laney’ 2013 Retro is a look-see sample so the final version may have a few changes, but you can bet the 2013 release will look just the same. Take a look below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for solid release information.
