Believe it or not, this is the second release in 2011 of an Air Jordan V in Black/Metallic Silver. Of course the first of such releases was the Premio version that dropped in February, but for those who were unable to cop one of the roughly 2,000 pairs in existence, a general release version modeled after the original release in 1990 (like the OG pair we showed you recently) is set for a wide drop later this year. A few changes to be noted; the upper features a softer nubuck, the Jumpman on the outsole is red and not the OG black, and the stitching on the outsole returns once again, carrying over from the 2007 Retro version. These are set for a Fall 2010 release, but SneakerApe is glad to share that they have a full size run available for purchase now. Via Sneaker News
