Air Jordan Retro V 5 Look See Fighter Plane Sample

When designing the Air Jordan V, Tinker Hatfield drew inspiration from the P51 Mustang Fighter plane. During the round of Air Jordan Fusion 5 releases, Jordan Brand released the Grey Nurse Air Jordan Fusion 5 which borrowed heavily from the fighter plane aesthetic incorporating the Army Green upper, fighter plane detailing, and the fighter plane's eye detail. Although it never hit retail, Jordan Brand did have plans of releasing an Air Jordan Retro V with the same treatment.

The Look See Fighter Plane Sample Air Jordan Retro V features a White leather upper sitting on a Black midsole with a White "flame" with a Red outline. The eyelets are done in Black, the laces are Red, and the tongue is done in reflective Grey. The fighter plane hit comes near the toe with an embroidered "eye" that is also done in White/Black/Red.

The Fighter Plane Air Jordan Retro V was originally scheduled to release during the Spring of 2009 but, Jordan Brand scrapped it from full production/retail release. Read on for more pics.

  • Ryk

  • sparksdaman24

    Great Bulls colorway...I like em could maybe get ride of the "eye"

  • dat.nigha

    dont like the eye too much, but i still woulda copped, these are hot.......Thanks Jordan (who makes these decisions??)

  • BabySal

    I wish JB would've included these instead of the Red Suede 5's in the DMP Retro 5 Package.

  • jr_lyon

    WTF?!!! Why scrap one of the best looking Jordans? I would have bought 2 pairs. I don't know who decides what gets scrapped and what gets released but whoever is doing it for Jordan Brand needs to be f*ckin fired!!! They have released some straight garbage and scrapped pure heat. What gives?

  • Chico

    Mike looks big now n got a big butt..hahaha

  • http://www.nt.com BIG BANK

    I see nothing but rubbish from JB these days! Who's the creative director? They need to FIRE that dummy! I agree with lyon. What other classic's are they going to hack next?

  • EP

    word. these probably couldve been top 3 Fives. The eye is kinda random. I woulda copped them tho

  • RETRO12S

    these are hot.

  • jordanaire75

    Damn for real this was scraped I would have bought this if it was relased I got somebody who should be fired Gentry Humphrey nuff said.

  • LeBron Siron

  • http://kixandthecity.com 15 yr old Jordan Fan

    WOW...

    .these will get coppped

  • dwwwqt

    These were on solecollector 3 months ago.

  • beeboo75

    want one or two ! So bad

  • fuctstar

    FYI the eye is to resemble the eyes and teeth painted on the old fighter planes that the 5 was based on. They should just make Tinker the head guy. They also need to fire the guy managing costs and materials, the red suede on the 5's could've been a lot better quality. It almost feels like felt, instead of suede.

  • using namespace Pika

    Ouch, these look superfake. Way to f*ck up Nike.

  • TechNutty

    Hottest Vs --- MINUS THE EYE! The eye makes those joints look kiddish.

    But yeah, take out the eye and those joints are ones I might have even pre-ordered and copped before release date. I would have salivated at the chance of owning them, but only without the eye.

    JB dropped the ball on this one. SMH

  • Yatti

    Um.. hell no.

    I'm more of the old school colors only guy.

    None of these funky dunky variant looking colors.

    Haven't purchased a pair of Jordans in almost 1 1/2 years. Looks like it'll be 2 years.

  • 216ant

    didn't they put out some 1's with the same eyes on them?

  • http://nike birdman

    I actually bought a used pair on ebay. They looked pretty good in pictures, but, when I received them, they looked a little fake in person.
