[@glassjar7814]

No one else doing these life tests! And I love it. I pride myself on wearing my shoes. My 2010 infrared 90 has so much character from 10 years of wear. Any scuff or stain has a memory. Battle scars. Shoes are for wearing. Life is short. Too short to not wear something. This quarantine has shown me its time to stop holding onto kicks. Chicago 1’s and mars yard are getting undeadstocked ASAP when this is all over.

If you wear these when it’s cold, you’ll regret sizing down if you like to wear thick socks like Stance or some Nike socks. The thick socks will help keep your feet warm should you wear these when it’s cold.

[@joaquinvilladolid9062]

Damn when buckets gave a 9 and a half rating durability wise my eyes were opened like virgil is actually doing his experiments really well in terms of deconstruction like changing materials and stuff. I initially thought due to the plastic overlay it would be less comfy and crease bad but I guess I might be looking forward to the cream jordan 5 off white this year

[@928Spidey]

He’s really not exaggerating with how comfortable the off white 5’s are. The fact that there’s really no padding around the ankle makes it so comfy to wear and super easy to put on. I found the perfect lacing adjustment where I can just slip them on without having to untie the shoe.

[@PlayThroughPain]

I find it weird that a lot of people think it's more comfortable without the padding in the collar and tongue... Idk man I'm old school and the metallic 5s I used to have back in the day was my most comfortable kick because of the padding... Once I found out the padding was nonexistent in the OF5s I wasn't that upset that I didn't win the draw lol, especially with most people saying to go down half a size cause of the lack of padding lol...I woulda been tight if I found that out on my own...

[@DruMatthias]

I'm with @Vekks.blackman 5s are supposed to be padded. I'm not about a no liner 5 throwing off the comfort they usually have stock let alone the fit of em. Too stripped down and swiss cheesed for my needs.

[@PlayThroughPain]

[@shawnzorrilla]

Remeber being young like 6 years back meeting foamer in person on 42nd cool dude man. Happy to see his growth on KZbin

[@notseelen]

okay, so I finnnnally got my pair of Off-white 5s in. I tried them on, and I have to say......your comment on going down half a size is a very slippery slope. It ended up being JUST right for me, but I want to add some thoughts for anyone considering it: I wear a 10.5 in most shoes, so I Went for a size 10 on the off-whites, on your recommendation. I found that they fit really snug in the sides and front of the shoe, moreso than the 10.5 grapes. They had about a fingertip's worth of room in the front of the toebox, which I think is about right The one thing I Want to caution about though is, it's mentioned in the video that you should order a half size down from your normal jordan 5 size...I think that's dangerous specifically because Jordan 5s seem to run about a half size too big. So if somebody goes down a half size for jordan 5s, they're now wearing a 10. If they follow the advice to go down a half size from *those* for the off-white, they're at 9.5 All I'm saying is, I couldn't have fit a 9.5. These are very snug, actually, to the point where I think its a PERFECT fit, so I want to thank you for you recommendation to go .5 down. I just think its extremely important that I throw my 2 cents in, because sizing down on an $800 shoe is a nerve-wracking thing to do! tl;dr: you should go a half size down for the off-white 5s....but that should not be an ADDITIONAL half size down from the half size down you might already be doing for jordans (if you don't like looser fit)

[@notseelen]

I really appreciate you making this video, truly. It proves that you understand your audience perfectly, and unlike many content creators, it feels that this is being provided as a public service, for us, not to us You've answered every single question I have regarding this shoe. It's especially important given that they have unfinished areas that could be extra prone to wear PS I actually figured the nylon would increase the durability some PPS okay, I'm sold...gonna pick up a pair soon. I'm terrified to buy them a half size down, but I 100% trust you on that one

[@andydiaz3125]

how has the half size down gone for you?

[@notseelen]

@@andydiaz3125 funny enough, this video taught me I was buying my sneakers half a size too big! I bought the 10, and it turned out to be a perfect fit, at which point I realized I'm not a 10.5, I'm a 10! 😅 in short, I went TTS and it's a perfect fit. when I wear super thin socks like thigh highs, they're loose, but otherwise it's great

[@BALLzDeep1986]

The material is exactly like interwoven ripstop nylon! It also has a repellent like you really don't need crep or reshoevn8r repellent on these joints! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💛Tanks💛🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@twinpyramid5985]

Truthfully they look better than when they first released 💯🔥🔥🔥props to you bro for rocking em for 6 weeks💯

[@prometheusk.7909]

Wore my pair every other day until quarantine hit then they've been sitting on the shelf cuz I haven't been out, but I can definitely agree these are absolute tanks. It's funny cuz a lot of early reviews from people said they thought they'd get messed up easily and felt fragile, but they're pretty much bombproof and don't even crease that bad. Only thing I noticed is the 3M on the tongue can stain/scratch pretty easy, but I feel like that's just 3M for ya. FWIW, I went TTS with wide feet and they fit pretty well but I throw a pretty thick lunarlon insole in em. They'd be mad loose with the stock insole.

[@bluemcdaniel99]

Just copped... This video was def. part of that. Goats.

[@CommonTerryComedy]

Droppin’ in to say this: although I’m not as much of a sneakerhead as I was in my youth (38 now), I still appreciate having multiple pairs of great shoes. I’m only around 10 pairs or so, some are 3 years old or more and still look brand new cause I’m straight OCD about the cleanliness of my kix. I think a great outfit with dirty shoes looks terrible, but a terrible outfit with great shoes can be done. Anyway, all rambling aside, really like this dude, the channel, and the personality and passion behind the videos...on my list for sure...DMP 6’s, the Infrareds (my grail), and the Undefeated 90’s that just dropped. As I get older though, I’ve learned it’s sometimes more fun to have the money to buy stuff, then to actually buy it. Be safe all...thanks for letting me rant.

Haven't cut the holes out but I wear mine in a rotation. I didn't cut the holes out because I was worried about dirt and rain. With that plastic covering I can see this as a good shoe to wear in the rain. So far I'm glad I kept them and didn't resell. I wouldn't say it's my favorite pair but I'm enjoying them.

[@NOne-yt1tj]

These are on my list. I'm old as fnck, and I had OG metallic 5s when they came out originally. Saved almost a year to buy them for myself, working part time and going to high school. Now that I'm old and don't need to scratch for things, I find myself torn between these off white or buying some 2016 retro version of the og metallic.

[@TheRealJoyboy94]

[@sebastienc.2257]

Me too I don't really like 5s but I want one pair in the collection. In all honesty I like the fire reds more but these are a statement piece. Think I'd still take the fire reds over these aesthetically but the off-whites seem like a better shoe fit wise.

[@Teach_1ne]

I see so many bad videos and reviews about StockX selling people fakes. I’m a l skeptical about shopping through them now. Hear their customer service is the worst too.

That's what I don't understand either...I see more 'unknowns' come with facts of dirty dealings with stock x and wonder why the 'known' KZbinrs never encounter that problem...

[@Teach_1ne]

Vekks.Blackman because they all get sponsored by them to lure us to their site. It’s like fucn human trafficking lmao. But seriously... I think they buy UA’s and try to pass em off as legit pairs. I watched this one video... dude paid like $1600 for some Travis Scott’s and the sneakers they sent him were suspect af 😭😭. He showed the receipt and all

[@PlayThroughPain]

@@Teach_1ne I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case cause it's just the world we live in, but it takes credibility away from my fav KZbinrs imo if that is what's going on... I saw a video where this kid copped some OW UNCs and had clear detailed pictures of missing stitching compared to legit pairs... Stock x refused to honor his refund saying his pair was legit and completely ignored the pictures, after about 3x (I think) of back and forth, they finally offered the refund but in turn, completely banned him from doing business on the site ever again...🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ fuckin ridiculous...
