Jordan 5's

JORDAN 5 1988

Legacy

The Jordan 5 first graced the market in 1990, it was the First Jordan featuring 3M and the iconic shark teeth, inspired by a WWII Fighter jet. Despite the Jordan 5 often being considered, "less iconic", Jordans accomplishments in the 1990 season are incredible, and may have lead to a spike in Jordan sales. During this NBA season, Jordan acquired his first of 5 NBA MVP awards. Jordans Career highest scoring game, was also in the Jordan 5, when he dropped 69 points in a colossal win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the Jordans hierarchy i rate them a top 8 Jordan of all time and a top 35 Sneaker of all time.

Colourways

The Jordan 5 model has 50+ colourways in the high model and several others in the Low model, The shoe is quite, blocky and is often more suiting for a bigger guy. Iconic colourways of the shoe include the Grapes, the Metallic and the recent Supreme NY collaboration. Unlike other Jordans not almost all Jordan 5 colouways include white, Black and Red and instead use a wider variety of colours, and combinations. As the Jordan 5 is very solid and often uses premium materials, the prices are quite high, despite this they retain value sufficiently, leading to a booming resell economy for Jordan 5's. Currently i don't own any pairs of Jordan 5's, i don't plan to purchase any in the near future, as i would rather invest when my feet are done growing and my shoulders broaden, to give the shoes a more balanced look.

JORDAN 3 1988 Legacy In 1988, the Jordan 3 changed the sneaker world, this was the first Jordan ever to feature: the Jumpman Logo; Elephant Print and Visible Air in the silhouette. Often considered a top 4 Jordan model of all time. The 1988 season was one of Jordan's most iconic season He was named DPOY, FTANBA and won the dunk contest , all featuring him in the iconic Jordan 3. Colourways The Jordan 3 features many colouways approximately 90+, When it originally released, 3 Colouways were released, originally the True Blue, Black Cement and White Cement were released. All these have been retrod several times, always selling out and leading to steep resale price. Despite all these colourways, white always seems to be a primary component in different colourways. I currently do not own any Jordan 3's, but I plan to buy a pair, as they are a classic and a value retaining sneaker.

JORDAN 2 1986 Legacy In 1986, Nike and Jordan brand released the Jordan 2, often considered the least "hyped" Jordan from 1-14. This is often credited to Michael Jordans broken foot injury, therefore he was not able to wear and promote the shoe, leading to a downfall in sales from the all-time  classic Jordan 1 Colourways The Jordan 2, has the second fewest colour-ways of all Jordan Models 1-14. Despite this, since 2014, many collaborations such as Carhartt and Just Don , have chosen the 2 silhouette, leading to a recent spike in sales of the Air Jordan 2. The Jordan 2 often feature very basic colourways such as black and red; black and white; white and red. I personally do not own any Jordan 2s. Not only due to silhouette, but also price, as the Jordan 2 had recently feature a hefty €220 price tag, often off-putting younger sneaker collectors.
