air jordan 5 toro bravo pack Air Jordan 5 Toro Bravo Pack

The latest Air Jordan multi-shoe pack will release late this month month under the theme of “Toro Bravo”. Featuring two versions of the Air Jordan V, the shoe is inspired by a special and heralded species of bull which is bred for the Running of the Bulls event in Pamplona, Spain. The black version is inspired by “both the Toro Bravo, known for its aggressiveness, strength, vigor and intelligence, and Michael Jordan’s basketball career, which exemplified these qualities and more.” On the other hand the red version “represents the passion, inspired by MJ’s drive for the game and taking its color from the red bandannas runners in Pamplona wear.” A special custom-box set featuring the menacing eyes of a red-eye’d pull peering through a crate keeps in line with the shoe’s concept at hand. The Toro Bravo pack is set for a May 30th release.

    Yawn……U new era Jordan kids will sweat anything JB made in the 80s and 90s , yet talk big ish on AF1s for doing the same thing. Same shoe,, dif colorway. Who cares about the damn story behind it… Bull and ish…sounds like bull ish to me.

    For those of you that say this shoe is wack, you probably wen’t out and lined up for the Yeezys. honestly put a yeezy beside this and see which one is nicer.

    the boxes look better than the shoes

  22. Posted by: max on May 1, 2009 at 11:23 am

  30. Posted by: young davey on May 1, 2009 at 7:48 am

    And with most Jordan packs, one shoe is fresh (the black ones) and the other one is there just to add $150 to the overall price… and the red joints are inspired by the bandanas they wear in Spain, huh? The Jordan Brand just be making ish up! Yeah, it’s also exactly the primary color of the team Jordan won all six of his championships with, isn’t that enough?
