Here are some detailed pictures of the Air Jordan 5 (V) - White / Black -Fire Red which are slated to released on August 23, 2008 alongside the Air Jordan 18 (XVIII) in Jordan Brand’s latest Countdown Package. They feature a white leather upper along with plastic webbing on the side panels. They also sport a black midsole with red accents which is actually made to look like teeth, as the shoe is inspired by the WW2 Mustang fighter plane. One of the most noticeable features on the plane was the shark teeth and the same goes for these. This is the second time that this particular pair of Fire Reds have been retroed, as the Fire Reds released in December 2006 featured a predominantly red midsole with black teeth. ( the inverse of these). Another interesting feature that fanatics will go for is the translucent outsole, which is always an added bonus. Unfortunately, the heel area will feature the Jumpman log instead of the Nike Air logo like the originals.
This pair Air Jordan 18 (XVIII)’s are set to release as part of Jordan Brand’s next Countdown Package alongside the Air Jordan 5 (V) Retro - Fire Red (White / Black - Fire Red). They feature a black suede upper along with red accents including the midsole and outsole. They also feature chrome accents on the lacelocks. Although many people are gearing up to get this Package for the air Jordan 5 (V), true fanatics can’t wait to get their hands on this pair of Air Jordan 18 (XVIII)’s either. The shoe is modeled after the sleek lines of the Lamborghini Murcielago,carbon fiber-based monocoque of F1 race cars, Race car driving shoes (rubber heel wrap) and Fine Italian dress shoes (bold stitching on the soles). They also consist of a load of unique specifications including a hidden quick lace system, carbon comfort plate, air vents, steel capped laces, full length Zoom Air insoles, as well as a second unit at the heel. Although they are black, keeping them clean is a difficult task, as suede tends to require plenty of maintanence. Nonetheless, they are breathtaking and definitely have their share of fan base too.
A special thanks to you Kicksonfire
