The feel is classic Jordan 5: decent cushioning from that visible Air unit in the heel, and a secure, padded collar. They're not ultra-lightweight shoes, but you get that substantial, protective feel – which I personally like. The wmns Air Jordan 5 Retro Blue Bird sits well on foot, and that iconic silhouette just never gets old. Comparing it to other Jordans... it's very different from, say, an AJ1. The 5 is bulkier, more technical-looking. Within the AJ5 family, this 'Blue Bird' sits with the brighter OG-inspired colorways. It’s not a subtle shoe like a 'Oreo' colorway. If you like your sneakers to do the talking, this womens Jordan 5 retro is for you. Compared to the "Fire Red" 5s, this "Blue Bird" version is way more playful. The materials feel comparable. After a few hours, my feet were comfortable--no major complaints. The biggest advantage is its stand-out design. The disadvantage? It might clash with a lot of outfits. I'd say cop these for your collection, not as your only pair of Jordans. Wrapping up this review – the 'blue bird' is a hit in my book. The 'wmns air jordan 5 retro' execution is solid, with no major flaws on my pair. The $215 USD price is standard, but you "are" paying for the brand & iconic design. My advice? Try a pair on if you can – the fit can be a bit rigid initially. But for style points? It's an easy 10/10. Let me know your thoughts below!
