10 of the Best Unreleased Air Jordan 5 Samples Ever Made!

Select Model

Five of the finest (x2)

I’ve always been drawn to samples. Sure, their exclusivity is attractive, but it’s more about ‘what could have been‘ had they seen a retail release for me. A lot of the time, they’re garbage and left on the cutting floor for good reason. But from all the samples I’ve seen over the years, there’s a hell of a lot that would have made instant classics. I’ve always wanted to do these lists, and I feel that now’s the right time. And I’m going to start with a silhouette that really isn’t one of my favorites; the Air Jordan 5.

Look, I know, it’s a classic silhouette. But for me, they’re uncomfortable as hell. Ultra-flat with no cushioning and tongues higher than Snoop Dogg make it very uncomfortable wear. That being said, I would wear every single pair from this list below — they are straight fire!

SO here are ten of the best Air Jordan 5 Samples that never made it to market (but wish that they did)
