Doom Gang those are literally my fav “forced vintage” pair but I think I’m biased kause bein born and raised out in LA I use to go to Union all the time I would ditch school hop on the 212 and head straight to my fav 3 stores ! UNION,STUSSY, & UNDEFEATED!!! Man I miss those days !!

It's almost time for the Air Jordan 5 'Fire Red' to drop. FINALLY! While you wait just a bit more, feel free to enjoy this video of Chris comparing them to the first retro. They're practically relics! And as always, have a good one!!!

If memory serves me correctly, the 2020s are closer to the OGs. I had an OG black pair, and remember an oversized and almost "puffy" reflective tongue and lots of ankle padding. I also remember all outsole and mesh turning yellow like crazy fast. Maybe they should bring that back too for the full OG experience.

I was 10 years old when the 5's came out...went to the mall to get the white cement 4s with my dad, store no longer had any in stock, so they handed me the new pair of jordans, the "fire red" 5s. I like the white cement 4's better and got them when I got older, but I always appreceiated the 5's. I appreciate the memories I have of wearing them in middle school even more.

I had the og fire red 5s and fire red 4s. Wanted the white cement 4s but they were sold out and got the fire reds 4s instead. Then got the fire red 5s but soon after i wished i wouldve gotten the black 5s. The black cement 3s were the first pair of jordans i ever seen in person. My best friend got them. I was 11 years old and my mind was blown on how dope they were.

Growing up I couldn't afford J's so now Im almost obsessed with them. These 5's are definitely 1 to add to my collection. Another great video by Weartesters.

Love your video got me into collections of shoes

This shoe literally takes me back to my freshman year of high school. By far my favorite Jordan of all time. I ordered mine yesterday which will be the first time owning this version. Parents wouldn't let me have any Jordans because they thought they were too expensive back in the 80's lol. They definitely were not $200 back then.

Wanted to to say thanks! Because of your video and the fact that you promote Phenom I was able to order a pair for retail last night. Been a fan of the channel for 2 years and I've never commented. Thank you again!

One of the best comparison videos! well done!

One of the reason why i love this channel so much.the detailed review and comparison btwn 2 shoes.1,000 thumbs up!

Im absolutely in love with these. Just ordered my pair, cant wait!!

This video and you guys discussing episodes 4 & 5 of The Last Dance have been my most anticipated!!!!

Great comparison! You're def one of the best on KZread right now.

Love the new ones... Got mine coming Thursday... Love the review thanks my brother 👍

5s are just so sick to ball in. Early 2000s retro cards need to come back!!!

These are officially my first pair of 5s. Going to rock them asap, got ‘em on the SNKRS shock drop. 😃

Can’t wait to get my hands on the 2020 version, hopefully it’s and easy cop. Keep up the great work bro.

Best shoe of the year! Material is amazing, the shoe keeps it shape very well. Been flexin them for months now, still get complements every time.

Quality content as always! Very satisfied with this channel. Totally worth the subscription.

Thank you for pointing out that these aren't the REAL fire red 5s! I prefer those ones but I'm excited to get these in. Making things exactly the same over time is so, so difficult. I never had the OGs but from what I've been reading and seeing online it looks like they did a pretty damn good job.

I’m getting them for sure. And I also like the yellowing, it’s a real good vintage look

The fact that there was so many inconsistencies on the 89 pairs means no one will be happy

Love these OG comparisons Chris, do more of these the people love the education! JB won't do it and the people need the knowledge!

Definitely my fav shoe reviewer, I always come out smarter watching your material and you and your wife’s chemistry is on point, great stuff

I had the AJ 5 FRed of 1999 and today I bought the AJ 5 FRed of 2020. I can't wait to have them!! I love these shoes

Great video guys! I was 19 when the original pair came out and the leather was so premium and buttery soft that I used to get scared balling in them because they scuffed very easily but they were beautiful shoes though. The tongue, sides and insoles were padded pretty nicely for a snug fit. Can't really remember about the size of the brand on the back of the shoe but I like the look of the larger size more. If I remember, the inside tag on the tongue was upside down. The 3M on the tongue and the clear part of the sole were some of my favorite things about them. Absolutely one of my favorite Jordans of all time!!

I just decided to double up on these. I've had a pair since they came out I've been wearing, and love them so much. When I saw they restocked my size online, I had to get a pair to stock. I love this shoe.

you, sir, are a sneakerhead, in the strictest sense of the word. your knowledge on jordans is deep.

I always thought there were two fire reds one was called the fire red white with the silver tongue and the other was also called a fire red black with the black tongue and your review just confirmed it thank you.

I'm getting my pair Saturday morning can't wait they look clean af

I was 3yo when the first retro of AJ 5 ‘Fire Red’ came out 😭 BUT definitely remember almost everyone having the ones following... I’ve always admired the style and the stories behind each pair of Jordan’s! I could not afford them back then but bought my first pair a few years back🔥 I’m hoping to cop these 2020 versions as my first pair of 5’s.

I was debating until I seen this vid last night, thankfully I copped from Finish Line this morning. Dope review man, can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Flints

Damn I'm here early, nice video man. Keep up the great content bro.

I'm getting some Marvin vibes from Chris! For someone has not owned AJ5s and who is just getting into shoe history, this comparison is very informative. Thanks WearTesters!

I noticed this with jordan 1s and 3s too that the lining in all of the retros have always been a lot puffier and they prob did that for comfort because most people like it more, but i really hope they thin out the padding to all retros because i think that would go a long way with making just the overall shap and look on feet alot more original and just better.

Awesome video!!

I copped, had to 5's are my thing. These are way better than the last version, love them.

These look great and were the first Js that I really wanted to own as a kid. Looks like they did the OGs justice.

That Pam & Jim reference was amazing👌

I copped these off the SNKRS shock drop, glad these are my first pair of 5s :)

The 90's with the reflective tongue son!!!!,I hated them when they came out and they grew on me.

Great vid...have you or are you doing a review of 380 mist?

100 percent agree on the cards! Last time I remember getting a card on top of my head are the Aqua 8s!

The yellowing is beautiful

Really like the thorough reviews. Are you considering reviewing the Jordan golf shoes down the line? Curious to hear your thoughts on the Jordan 5 golf shoes that was released a couple months ago.

I nvr did like that placement of the laces of the 5’s especially the first ones but overall i think this years 5’s look really good. Im definitely gunna grab up a pair

Had a pair of the first retro in the black colorway. Always wanted a white pair so definitely going after these3

Bro ive been noticing all the shoes we bought from the mid late 90's thru the 2000's all say a part of the proceeds will be used by Jordan for Educational Initiatives. Its fucking awesome to see that and now a days you look at how many high school and college sports teams are sponsored by jordan. But yea these are truly a classic. Got a pair thats barely worrn and already planning to purchase my next pair

I used to hate the yellowing on the soles, netting, etc...too but since that Off-White 5 came out it's grown on me.

I’ve got mine great video guys

The 2020 pair has quite a few similarities with the OG release which is a definite plus to see.Looking forward to getting a pair this weekend.

I need to cop this 🔥🔥🔥.. May 2 here in Europe. SNKRS please...🙏🙏🙏

thank you for clearing up that Fire Red nickname controversy, I knew those weren't the Fire Reds. Fire Reds are the ones with the white upper and more red bottom those only have a splash.

Man that yellowing aged look is actually fire.

I appreciate Mrs Wing making it crystal clear. I wanted to make sure too. Thanks! *not sarcasm*

the shoe's fire which is why im glad i was able to get my pair it's a dope shoe i live the silver tounge kind of wish it did have that matte design but these shoes are fire

I can't wait to cop!

Wow amazing sneakers I love air Jordan brand sneakers. Air Jordan 1, 3,4,5,6,7,8,11,12,13. My top 10 air Jordan brand sneakers. I like the old one than the new one.

Great video as always. Great dynamic between your wife and you...im really enjoying it. So i have an unpopular opinion. I do not find these shoes appealing at all. They are extremely regular for me. I do not have that nostalgia aspect involved with this shoe, so perhaps that's the reason. And believe me...i tried liking this shoe. Tried making myself like it. Come on...its Jordan!! Like them!! But nope...i can't. And that's ok. Im not saying people shouldn't like these shoes, shoes are subjective. I really wanted to like these. I do appreciate the style though and the concept that went into composing this silhouette. Love the idea...just not the product. Anyway... To all those coping...good luck and hope you purchase them. And as always...this was a great video.

LOL yooo she was on it in the beginning, "NOT THE ORIGINAL". True sneakerheads in this vid.

My first time, one... couldn’t afford them back in the days

That mudguard / front of the toebox I always found to be wrong on the 99/00s. Still got mine from then and they even fit smaller.

Crazy I wore original 5s my 1st or 2nd year of HS hoops in 90/91. Was my teammates. Who knew then that the kicks game would come to this??? Was in the throes of his 1st championship vs Lakers (I was Magic ALL THE WAY) and it was the old Jordans by then. Still looked the best to me back then.

The yellowing happens because of poor conditions. I’ve seen The Black infrared six witch Retro in 2000. And the sole was still perfect. This was couple years ago.

I have the og retros from 99 and I still wear them

I tried to restore my 1999 pair and I ruined them. The midsole crumbled and stitching on the toe unraveled. Lol! I think the 1999 version looks closer to the originals. Great video!

Just got mine!

I had the original pair in 1990. I can say the original are really true to size. With the newer pair you can go down half and size and they fit fine.

Got mine a few weeks ago from Footlocker Australia and they sat for 24 hours before being sold out so I think it shouldn't be too hard to cop. Leather is really soft and creased on the toe box immediately. I think it adds character so I don't mind.

I was 9 when the og came out and had them. Actually saw them on a vhs recently. If i recall the tongue was thicker and bulky like the new one. But that was years ago

I never had these before but they are 🔥🔥 I'm definitely going after those I entered a raffle

Fantastic video. As a highly detailed technician myself I appreciate your attention to the details. I’m subscribed now. As for the tongue, I think the first retro is much closer to OG, especially the 3M material having a matte grey appearance. The 2020’s tongue look awful imo. Need to see if I still have those originals in tucked away 🤞🏼...
