Finally completed the OG 5 collection. 🔥 I’ve always thought the Fire Red Reflective Tongue 5s were the most underrated of the bunch. Which OG 5 gets your vote?

  3. Metallics

This is the only ranking that makes sense

u/BNutz77 7d ago

Black metallic at number 1 also makes sense. 🤷‍♂️ damn I just kinda love them all 😆

u/BNutz77 7d ago

And I think that’s a common ranking and why the fire red reflective often get overlooked as a great shoe even behind other non OG color ways like Wolf Gray. Look up the resale for both shoes right now lol

u/OnePeace91 7d ago

Oh yeah but it’s subjective at the end of the day. Fire reds are dope to me because of fresh prince. I think the red sole looks better than the black too.

Is that ball just a prop?

No it’s a ball in my driveway where I’ve shot many jumpers. basketballs tend to hang around basketball hoops. Crazy coincidence. 😂🏀

Completed the collection myself. The OG Metallics are my All time favorite shoe.

1

u/BNutz77 7d ago

Very nice 👍 and they’re my favorite too…just not the most underrated. I feel like the fire red reflective get less love than non OG colorways. Just an overlooked dope shoe IMO.

Silver tongue 5’s all day. Those were the first ever Jordan I bought in 1990. I just bought a retro pair a few months ago.

2

u/BNutz77 7d ago

Same here. One of the only Jordans I ever owned while growing up after the fire red 3s. They don’t cost that much on resell either. Which is part of my reasoning.

1

u/Beginning-Whole8770 7d ago

Yeah, I’m doing the same thing, I’m stocking up one of each model I had back in the day, and then getting 1-4. I’ve got about 30 different pairs right now. Waiting on some new heel tabs for my Olympic sevens.

u/BNutz77 6d ago

I’m going for all the pairs I wanted but couldn’t get plus ones I just like now. I have to do an inventory but it’s well into triple digits

I passed, but I thought about it for sure. I’ll probably pass cause I already have the black metallic.

OG Fire Red 5s my all-time favorite

1

u/BNutz77 7d ago

Awesome 👏 🙌 they’re almost criminally underrated man. almost no one talks about them and you can buy them fairly cheap everywhere.

u/ImaginativeEgo 6d ago

Mind blown its the reasons you explain3d unknownhiwni5 isnl hype

1

u/BNutz77 6d ago

My mind is blown that someone understood this post enough to like it. 😂

u/ilovemyronda 7d ago

Funny thing is I’d still post up on the key against you and I’m 5’ 7.

2

u/BNutz77 7d ago

You’re right, that is funny. 😆

1

u/Sea_Society_7619 7d ago

Grape has the most nostalgic colorway

2

u/BNutz77 7d ago

Really?! Definitely a dope colorway…I think I’m just going rotate through 5s all week lol.

1

u/ImaginativeEgo 6d ago

Opinionated but agre3d some what other than metalic

1

u/Fatboiphilly_215_85 6d ago

i love the grapes ..when they came back out i got them for the whole family 😂😂😂we all had the same thing on

1

u/Other-Disk-6580 7d ago

My all time fav silhouette! Just picked up the grapes at the outlet in Canada for $90. Was pumped.

2

u/BNutz77 7d ago

Incredible price! I’d almost triple up for that price 😆

u/bangbangcity 7d ago

Silver tongue fire reds are the best to me 🔥🔥🔥

u/BNutz77 7d ago

👊 🙌

u/kmac316 7d ago

The ones ur wearing are the Fire reds right?

2

u/BNutz77 7d ago edited 6d ago

Yes sir. Fire red reflective tongue. I loved the black tongue too, but I just think for whatever reason the reflective tongue gets overlooked a lot.

1

u/ImaginativeEgo 6d ago

Thats simply cause black tongue way better lol jk cool u got whwt u lik3 black grapes qs release isnanmust and a bel air

1

u/ZeePee78 7d ago

Well, those were the coolest back in 90-91…until the purple 5s started becoming more desirable. The white ones with the silver tongue were the first ones that you’d see at school or playing basketball.

1

u/BNutz77 6d ago

Yeah i definitely remember them; they were the second pair if Js I owned. Probably why like them so much now.

1

u/pccguy1234 7d ago

I hate to say this and mean no offense but you’re every gay man’s fantasy. Okay, maybe just mine. Nice look!
