I believe I can fly: Top 5 Nike Air Jordans

Air Jordan 5

When I think of Jordans, I always return to the Air Jordan V, my favorite. Why? Because it was the first shoe to feature clear rubber soles, clear enough to see the ginormous Jumpman logo imprinted on the bottom of the EVA cushioning. Granted, the rubber yellowed over time when exposed to moisture, but when brand new, nothing looks hotter than a pair of Air Jordan Vs (especially black). And not only do they look good, they work—Air Jordan IVs are largly considered the best Air Jordans to play basketball in. A winning combo.

    Definitely the best Air Jordon’s! The reflective tongue was also one of its highlights! However, clear rubber soles were quite slippery if not perfectly clean.
    Thanks for the flash back!
