SNEAKER REVIEW - AIR JORDAN V "WOLF GRAY"

A couple of new colorways of the V released in 2011.  Here we have a more popular release done up in a tonal gray.  As with many new colorways, I read comments from a lot of people saying they weren't copping these, poor quality, they're too plain, etc.  However, the shoes did very well upon release and are already tough to find in deadstock condition for retail or less.

YEAR OF RELEASE:  2011
MATERIALS: The uppers are a very short haired tumbled suede.  The entire outsole is clear as opposed to most V's which just have clear sections.
COMES WITH:  Gray laces.
STREET VALUE: $150-200
FIT: These are fairly comfortable if not a little lacking in padding compared to other V's.
CARE:  These have the typical issues regarding J5's, including yellowing soles (slowed down slightly by the blue tint added) and creasing.  In addition, gray suede is a definite dirt and stain magnet.  These are not the shoes you want to wear to a dirty, wet or crowded environment.  Clean the soles after every wear and keep the uppers as clean as you can and these should stay looking fresh for at least a little while.  I copped my pair from premierskateboarding.com!
