Why Did These Flop?! 🤔 Air Jordan 5 DJ Khaled Review

These didn't "flop" because they are bad, I actually hate Jordan 5's and I really like these (especially this color way). They "flopped" because DJ Khaled.

To me this shoe is what separated the HYPEBEAST VS someone who really enjoys the craftsmanship of a shoe!!! If it’s not going to make you money they won’t buy them!! Me personally I received my pair and there are immaculate IMO I enjoy the shoe for what it really is and not just the hype

Love them. Color is different from other releases. Quality is amazing - leather is butter. They sat because 1) too loud for some people 2) hard to match 3) we the best on heel 4) price. Just rock these with khakis, light wash jeans, grey wool/flannel pants, grey joggers etc. You can rock these with a lot of colors - no need to match.

biggest reason (atleast for me): No one wants DJ khaled's name on their sneakers. Even coming from someone who likes 5s. Take the name off them and I would have absolutely wanted to grab the sail pair. the 3s only poppin because its extremely limited (sub 100 or sum like that) and its a 3, a very popular jordan model.

I feel like if the shoes didn't say "we the best" on the back instead of Nike Air they would have done much better

Idk why they sat but I'm glad they did, was able to get a pair. All colabs should be like this.

I dig this color way a lot. And I would have picked these up.. but the collab branding with DJ Khalid kills it for me.

Got the Crimson Bliss for a sold price, I absolutely love their tone, and I'm glad they were sitting. People who really wanted these were able to get them. I guess they flopped due to the market, they were released at the same time when people were waiting for the lost & found, the cherry 11's .. etc. A lot of sneakers flopped due to poor timing even the A Ma Maniere 4's flopped.

I like how you got right into the review!

These definitely should have come out before summer. Quality on these are top tier I think the resale will go up on these in the future

At some point , we really have to consider that the word “flop” really is tied to reselling cause they either sold out or sold with deep discounts in certain places. The quality is amazing and everyone could obtain it if they wanted to manually… so where the flip factor come from. I thought the point was to cop what you like if you can tho ?

I got them and they are fantastic quality I think it's just the colorway... If they would have released a more basic colorway as the GR and this as the exclusive people would be fawning over them. I think a more basic colorway would have sold better.

It's a clean shoe and the quality is on point. Got a lot of compliments on them, I like a shoe that stands out. Glad I could cop a pair for retail.

Man I actually love these. I love the keep Going on the inside of the tongue, it drives me. Love the color. These will be a collector down the road.

So glad these were easy to pick up. Feels very premium for a jordan brand release. Unique colorway, great materials, packaging, 4 pairs of laces. I don't love dj khaled, but i also dont hate him. I just thought it was a dope shoe and definitely worth my $225. I mean the midnight navy 4s i got were $210 for just a GR white jordan 4 but those sold out instantly...

These 5s are super underrated in hand.

I picked up the Sail colourway. I am not a J5 guy but I would rock the Sail colour.

I think with these they should of come out in spring or summer! I think that hurt it massively as it’s not really a autumn or winter sneaker too bright for it to be!

I personally love these. I hit on SNKRS and was honestly excited even though the hype wasn’t there. The quality is amazing for a Jordan and I love the slimmed down nature of this 5. I think the release was soft for these reasons: - the timing was off. Released in the fall (def a spring/summer color way) and was released alongside some of the most hype shoes of the year (l&f, amm4, and the orange lobsters) - the 5 isn’t a hyped up model. Jordan 1s had their day and now we live in the heyday of 4s but for the hypebeast sneakerhead, 5s ain’t it. - the economy definitely played a part. If these dropped during 2020/2021 when stimmy checks were going out, these would have been an instant sell out. My $0.02.

When the spring roll around, these joints gone be in demand.Watch!!
