As many could’ve guessed it, the Air Jordan V (5) “Bel-Air” was very limited. How limited? Well, according to sporting goods researcher and analyst Matt Powell, the retro that had everyone in a frenzy this past weekend was limited to no more than 20,000 pairs. Wow!
Now you may be saying to yourself, “Hey, that’s not a big deal…” but in-fact, if you look at the bigger picture in terms of the demand versus the number of retailers worldwide who actually supplied them, that’s merely not enough pairs to go around. Not only that, but it’s also important to hone in on the fact that Jordan Brand usually produces between 200,000 and 300,000 pairs of any given release. Minus a -1% loss in comparison to last year’s Air Jordan IX (9) “Kilroy”, it is wise to believe that Jordan Brand has plans to make up for the slight sales loss.
Why did Jordan Brand hold out? Was this done intentionally? Could there be a restock happening soon? These are all great questions that we’re sure many of you want answers to. At this point, all we can do is offer an opinion and keep our ears to the streets.

Michael J Mears
I got 2 pair so w.e it is. .I rock with the other 19,998 people lol
Everything being everything?
20,000 is by FAR a smaller number than the numbers seen on other recent Retros.
In comparison to say?
Playoff or Olympic VII’s, Fire Red or Military IV’s, Fire Red V’s, etc.
..20,000 is a small #.
Ugly af
That’s why people got shot for these bitches.
Dam Aaron Tramaine Sheppard… That’s why there was dat riot lol
Got mine!
20,000 pairs…still a gay looking shoe.
Why not make these an general release or the only way you could get them is order online. If it’s going to be limited, let Michael, Phil, or Tinker themselves past out the pairs. They surely would have security.
Get ready for the restock Aaron Tramaine Sheppard
Hell yeah I’m waitin!!!

For anyone saying 20,000 pairs isn’t limited. Check the population. Can’t believe some people are still this ignorant.
Do the math it’s real simple lmao.
