Air Jordan Retro 5 OG – One of the best ideas to come out of the Jordan camp for 2016 was to create a line of retros for the die-hard Jordan purists. The OG line of sneakers is Nike’s attempt at maintaining the design and quality control of the original sneakers, and the latest to be added to the exclusive line is the Jordan 5 Black/Metallic. The Jordan 5 has always languished by being sandwiched between the 4 and 5, but the bold metallic reflective tongue is undeniable. Dropping on the 23rd of this month is the Retro 5 OG with black nubuck leather uppers, splashes of reflective silver, and an icy blue outsole.
