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

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)
