The first Air Jordan Retro set for a General Release in 2007 may be the most anticipated Air Jordan V retro release since the "Grape" Vs sent "Jordan Heads" into hysteria. With their release approximately two weeks away, 1/20/2007, we have a closer look at the final retail version of the Air Jordan Retro V "Black/Metallic".

    gotta get those. i remember seeing an old air jordan picture online from years ago that had those as some kind of player edition from back in the day i think?

  2. JMF says:

    To me these are the black/caro's without the blue in it. Yes these are OG's but if you got the caro's what's the point in getting basically the same shoe?

  3. HEXEDwithCHECKS says:

    Thats like asking whats the point of buying different dunks?They all have checks?... These have a reflective tongue and red jumpman, and 23 on the side + icy soles thats the difference... and these are black/metallic silver if you haven't noticed

  4. nysupraman says:

    icyyy

  5. apple says:

    love em, hope I can get em.

  6. Webstar says:

    Comment number 2 is a ******...go buy payless instead cuz is the same shoe without the Jumpman...

  7. steven says:

    im coppin my 2 pairs~!!

  8. ebe2023 says:

    dont mean to me rude but #2 did get owned by #3. I think this shoe needs a lil more red in it though ill stick to fire reds.

  9. typecast says:

    nuts on self*

  10. DVS says:

    Love the 23 on the side, it's what MJ rocked on the court.

  11. Mykey Myke says:

    damn the "23" stitched on the side makes it look that much better in my opinion... IF i were to change something about em... it would be the jumpman in the back of the shoes and change it back to the "Nike Air" old school logo... but i know all Jordan retros where it used to have a "nike air" on it is replaced with the jumpman logo....

  12. Scottyrob says:

    I'm so glad i kept my retro fives fresh. i hate the fact that the new ones have the jumpman on the back. it look like it doesn't belong and is a sticker that was placed on there. I'll keep my nike nike air V's fresh.

  13. big joe says:

    buyin 2 pairs

  14. KICKZyes says:

    I thought they were removing the 23??? :(
    As for JMF, you're and idiot. Of course it's the same shoe and both have black, but the colors are STILL much different, much as the SHOE is as well.

    The Black/Caro has blue stitching and blue soles. THESE, have icey soles, no colored stitching and the 23 on the side. DUH!

  15. Tim says:

    Copin these for sure!! and comment 2 needs to step his jordan game up :P

  16. me says:

  21. SlimDuggle says:

    Mike was a monster in those.....gotta cop those. Oh yeah, Comment #2's author should drink Drano, cuz it's liquid like water. What's the point of wasting water?

  22. kidgotkix25 says:

  31. Gene Quagmire says:

    "Y’ALL A BUNCH OF BANDWAGON RIDAHS FOR REAL !!! THEM JOINTS AIN’T EVEN OFFICIAL !!! I’D GIVE PROPS IF SOMEONE COPPED THE ORIGINAL STEEZ YA DIG… STOP FOLLOWING EVERYONE’S TREND AND CREATE YOUR OWN.."

    i love "official" internet ghetto-slang. makes you sound so authentic and "street". even while your hardened, tough self uses a computer to look at sneakers... we all know real thugs spend their nights browsing sneaker forums...

    get a clue, kid. and as far as "official"? what would you consider "official"?

    "trend"? where you the first and only kid wearing the original black V's? or where you even alive when they released? i cant stand folks like you...

    you want to be different? stop being negative.

    good luck with your "steez, ya dig"?

  33. [shoe][king] says:

    Ther ok but 3 pairs in one month that's lot 4 some one who likes geting at leas 2 pairs of each.........if I changed somthing it will be the jump man in the back.....knot dowing it......keep it og nike logo......

  34. theTRUEsneakerHEAD says:

    all i gotta say to all the comments that would agree with me besides number 2 and 25 YOU ARE WHACK!!!!

    THESE V's ARE SUPER FIRE THATS WHY IM COPPIN!!

    COMMENT 2 dogg, you gotta step your game up don't comment on a OG color way...the difference is the 23 stiched on the side of the shoes.

    and 25 YOU NEED TO STEP UR $HIT UP TOO!!!!

  35. KINGsneakALOT says:
