Air Jordan V Retro - "Lightning" - Sample

All of you may remember the "Thunder & Lightning" Pack featuring two Air Jordan IV Retro colorways that were released in 2006. They were online exclusives that came with a matching track jacket and t-shirt, respectively. Well, the IV's were not the only model to feature this inspiration.

This unreleased Air Jordan V Retro sample features an all yellow suede upper along with a futuristic "23" logo stitched on the heel. More like the "Lightning" colorway than the "Thunders," they sure do stand out. At this time, this colorway is not set to be released and will remain one of the many unreleased samples out there. But if they did release, would you cop a pair? Secondly, what do you think of the new "23" logo on the heel?
