Air Jordan 5 Countdown Pack
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Jul 29, 2008 Jordan Brand has kept a better lock on the back door recently and has kept the Air Jordan 5 in the upcoming 18/5 Countdown Pack much of a mystery for all of us. While some individuals had information about the color and added details such as a #23 stitched to the side, no pairs were lifted landed in the hands of the usual suspects that sell retro Jordans many months prior to their release.
The only original colorway of the Air Jordan 5 that did not release two years ago in 2006 is what we will see in just a few weeks with the release of the Jordan 18/5 Countdown Package on August 23rd - White/Fire Red-Black. Start saving everybody. Photo from KATC. |

dont make a mistake and dont cop this pack, i got the 2006 retros and they r still fresh but they have a black tounge instead of a reflective tounge. these 5’s are fiiirrreee and the 18’s are looking good to. dont second chance yourself these are one of the best packs other than the 10/13 6/17 11/12

This is a question for some real Jordan heads, I just need to know this for when I drop even more money on Js: how do u prevent the soles from yellowing so fast? is there a way to keep them stored that reduces yellowing?
Jul 31, 2008 at 3:05 pm
MJ had a sample of the 5’s with the stichin but it was never released to the public.
But manne I knew wat the color was go be but now looking at em its a beautiful thing i got my money saved for these mugs u juz gotta have ur priorties str8:
1) CDP
2) college tuition money
3) rent
thats wat it iz!!! haha

Jul 31, 2008 at 7:06 am
I am SOOOOOOOOOOO happy they didn’t put a black pair in the pack! It’s good to see this colorway again…must find a way to cop w/o getting the 18’s…
Jul 31, 2008 at 4:07 am
I already knew abt this colorway for the 5s and future colorways for cdps.
go to soleredemption.com and the have colorways for each Countdown Pack!! Jus fyi..
by the way im getting this pack..love both shoes
Jul 31, 2008 at 2:00 am
These are really nice. These are to me the 2nd best Jordan V color to me. I may pass up this pack, but I have to see the 18 in person.
Jul 30, 2008 at 11:54 pm
got em already…
Jul 30, 2008 at 11:25 pm
I love the 18’s and the 5’s this is one of the best packages yet. But the only thing that gets me is that they one come out in black and red. Nike acts like they dont know that Jordan played for the Wizards too. So how bout a blue pair.
Jul 30, 2008 at 11:00 pm
This is a hot pack. But they aint betta than the 17/6 pack. #25 is tweekin’.

A must cop for me. i remember when i bought my first ever pair of retro j’s first year of 8th or 7th grade (cant quite remember) it was when the white royal and yellow colorway came out along with the white, grey and blue colorway. Got my hustle going as a youngin and copped the royal and yellow pair. The 5’s are mos def my favs. One
Jul 30, 2008 at 10:01 pm
never liked the 18’s. ever. they marked the downfall in my opinion.they will most likely want over 300 for this pair alone in fcny
Jul 30, 2008 at 9:05 pm
cant wait gonna sell the 18’s though any takers just email me at yungalbino at hughes.net (so i dont get spammed)
btw i got a pair of evisu that im sellin serious buyers only i never wearem size 40 email me if intrested
Jul 30, 2008 at 8:14 pm
i dont like how theyy added the 23 on the side of these
only jordan had these with the 23
the ones released to the public before never did
Jul 30, 2008 at 8:03 pm
I content with the Womens Air Jordan Retro 5 (white / fire / sun) that i copped for 89.99 @ Finishline. I wore them yesterday and heads were turning so… I’m good and goodluck to everyone whose trying to cop these.
Jul 30, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Does this 5 have the Reflective material on the tongue like the other 5’s do? Its hard to tell
Jul 30, 2008 at 7:45 pm
so fukin happy the freshest pack so far
Jul 30, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Anybody know where I can find some “REAL” white/blue 18’s?
Jul 30, 2008 at 6:30 pm
I already got the ol retro 5’s. 1 of my fav’s. I was hoping for the white and blue 18’s tho…. can we break the black/red theme jus one time? I mean how many white or black/red shoes do we need.. change it up!!
Jul 30, 2008 at 6:14 pm

Jul 30, 2008 at 4:05 pm
the hott shoudve been black im buying thou
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Matt/anyone know if MJ ever actually had “23″ put on the side of this particular colorway during the 1990 season?
(I obviously know he had the Black/Silver 23 stiched on for regular season play and the other white/Black/Red colorway OG’s actually had the 23 stiched on)…
What about this colorway?
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:49 pm
By the way, the pic does them no justice at all… trust me.
The red almost looks infra in the above photo (for those who of you who are thrown off).
Also, I’m not so much irritated by the 23 on the sides, as I thought I would be, although it should look something like they did on the OG fire reds (if they want to do that) but also because of the fact that MJ actually played in a pair of these with the 23 on the sides as well.
Just hit up pickyourshoes and you’ll see the actual color of them, which will change minds immediately. Nothing on these are different from the OG and ’00’s, aside from the obvious things.
TRUST ME!
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Yezzir!
I just couldn’t see myself standing in line for them (haven’t in years) and it’s been FAR TOO LONG since I last had the 5’s (5th grade)! Missed out on the 2000 retro versions, so I had to go for it. (hurts the account though) lol
But I’m loving the 18’s as well. It was the white/blues that I fell in love with, when MJ played his last All-Star game in Atlanta, which the East should’ve won.
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:41 pm
i copped the fire reds already….but i mashed them up
i dont kno what to doooooooo id love a pair of 18s
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:40 pm
need to see more pics i have too many 5s i like these shoes but the 23 in the back f**** sucks i have the 99 retros but their to yellow
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Not Pleased at all Folks 11/12s cant wait!
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Darneezy taking the plunge on those ones! Actually, this is probably my favorite pack so far. I am a total fiend for the 18s as well as the 5s.
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:27 pm
I see some major exaggeration in here. Obviously, dude is just frontin’. But I ordered my pair on PYS yesterday. Should have them this weekend.
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I love both shoes!!!!!!
will cop!!!!
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:19 pm
^^^^you’re out of your mind!!!!!!
How can you say they’re ugly!!!!!
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:09 pm
these r soooooooooooooooooooooo ugly…….
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:07 pm
I might cop these its woth the $310 cause I like the 18s to this is the third best package.
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:02 pm
SICK! SICK SICK! CALL A DOCTOR THEY RE TO SICK!
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:01 pm
I’m passing on this pack like I did with the last one. I’ve never wanted the 18’s and the only difference in these’s 5’s and the Retroed version is the black. Sorry nike you are not getting my money this time eventhough I love the 5’s.
Jul 30, 2008 at 2:59 pm
fresh!!!
Jul 30, 2008 at 2:53 pm
FIRST!!! These are fresh 2 deaf
