I went a little further out of my way for this pair (Toro Bravo Jordan 5's), because there was no judging against the demand it carried after not being released for 12 years. I think even for a bit of resale premium, it is a very worthwhile purchase. Really, Jordan 5's should always feel this good (although yeah that comes with using suede here). Some people like aesthetic perfection, but I like the slight offs of the rawness of the material here. Kinda stuff that makes me think society needs to turn the other cheek over what a proper shoe and warranted "prestige" is without having to be a designer brand of sorts, or connection to a celebrity. This could very well be release of the year for a lot of people, including myself.
But if I had to pick one Jordan 5, I still think last year's white/red is the definitive pick up first. Captures the OG so well, and sort of a marker of how the brand stepped up the quality and shape of the Jordan 5 retro releases. It's going to look better with increased wear. Hell, people like to pre-yellow the translucent now. I think that's gimmicky, but objectively yeah — something that's so ugly most of the time actually looks decent on this pair.
Hindsight, I should've acted on the Anthracites. I still don't like what they did with the netting and contrast stitching, but the material is probably nice to wear.

I should Work at Oakley
My Toro's came today. I'm really happy with them. no flaws. debating if I should black laces in them or stick with the red. the laces are a tad long for how I like my 5's so I ordered some shorter pairs of laces in both black and red to try.
Black baby! That's my vote
When I got this pair of boots, which come with both red and black laces, I just laced one boot with each colour and compared like that. I found it by far the best way to judge.
