How Many Small-Footers Are Picking Up The Air Jordan 5 GS Wolf Grey

AIR JORDAN 5 GS 1 AIR JORDAN 5 GS 2

Although not much hype has been surrounding the upcoming Air Jordan 5 GS Wolf Grey release, the shoe has crept up on us and is actually releasing this weekend! With the Air Jordan 5 Olympic, Air Jordan 11 Low Metallic Gold and Air Jordan 1 Bred dropping in the next few weeks, it’s easy to see why not many people are talking about this release. With that being said, it’s still a solid colorway to pick up. With the shoe dropping in a few day, let’s take a look at the latest images of the upcoming release.

Made in GS sizes only, the Air Jordan 5 GS Wolf Grey is dressed in a Wolf Grey upper accented by the hits of Black placed in areas such as the tongue, midsole, laces and lining. Additional features include the speckling on the midsole, icy translucent outsole, clear netting and White Jumpman on the tongue. Is this release going to be a sleeper? Priced at $140 and releasing on August 20th, let us know if you’re going to pick up a pair.

Drake And Eminem Both Wore Air Jordan 4s During Epic Detroit Performance

What feud? There have been rumors swirling about Eminem plotting to diss Drake from Slaughterhouse artist Joe Budden for quite some time, but that all ended Tuesday night when Drake made a stop in Detroit on his Summer Sixteen Tour and brought out the legendary emcee. The two performed their 2009 hit “Forever” while wearing Air Jordan 4s. Both artists have lasting partnerships with Jordan Brand and Drake even opted to wear Eminem’s incredibly limited Carhartt Air Jordan 4. Eminem opted for a clean pair of White/Cement 4s instead of taking the stage in any of Drizzy’s OVO collaborative efforts. We’ll have to see how this one-sided Joe Budden vs Drake feud all plays out, but for now, Drake paid homage to one of the greatest emcees of all time by bringing him out in his hometown. Smart.

If the gold used on the tongue didn?t have the glossy/patent leather look I would have definitely copped these. It?s still a nice shoe but I?m not a fan of the metallic looking tongue.
