Saturday (well, Friday at midnight) marks one of the most hyped releases in 2011 — the black/metallic silver-red Air Jordan Vs. If you have ever been in any debate regarding the greatest Js, the Vs are no doubt somewhere in the discussion. Some people might have a compelling argument for the IIIs, the XIs, or even XVs (kidding!) as the greatest model that our man Tinker Hatfield created for His Airness, but has any model come as hard with the different colorways than the V? Complex breaks it down and ranks the best 15 Air Jordan Vs of all-time — you can peep the science here.

I dubbed these the Charlotte Hornet Air Jordans. In 1990, Charlotte had just finished up their first expansion season in the NBA and were the rage of the league with their teal unis. This colorway matches their color scheme at the time.

Was a Top 15 necessary? Are there really much more than 15-20 legit V's?
2dope August 19th, 2011 at 05:49 PM
Yeah true that, would top 5 Vs make more sense? Half of these are wack. How the Tokyo's ranked higher than laneys?

I wish they would have put a picture of the OG Air Jordan V Black/Metallic, instead of these with the hideous ice bottom. I think the ice bottom ruins the show.

One of the few colors we can all agree upon- Who does not love grape!
