The Air Jordan 5 “Raging Bull” released in 2009. It was released as part of a pack including one other shoe, but the red suede model definitely stole the spotlight. The Air Jordan 5 “Raging Bull” sports a red suede upper along with a black midsole and 3M material on the tongue.

The Raging Bull pack included both A 3M model, as well as a more popular red suede model.

The Raging Bulls come in a very vibrant red with a black midsole and iced out soles. This shoe is very bold, flashy and stylish. This shoe could pose a great challenge when composing an outfit to match it with. An outfit consisting red and black would be the best option for this shoe due to that being it’s primary colors. The braver style savvy sneakerheads may attempt wearing these shoes with other colors but I wouldn’t recommend that to any fashion novices. Keep the outfit sweet and simple and let the shoe speak for itself.

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for.

FINISH HIM!

Who did wear the Air Jordan 5 “Raging Bull” better, Soulja Boy or Jaden Smith? Both of these celebrities are often pointed out in the fashion world for their newest duds. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, we’ll assume that they actually picked out their own outfits in the images above.

Soulja Boy rocks the Raging Bulls with neutral black jeans, a red v-neck T-shirt, a red hoodie, and of course all of his gold jewelry. Soulja definitely took the flashy approach. Since the sneakers are very flashy themselves, the amount of jewelry is somewhat overpowering the shoes.

Jaden may just be heading back to his hotel room but he still pulls off these shoes nonetheless. He may resemble a lost eskimo, but his red hoodie coupled with the Adidas jogger track-pants goes together beautifully. His overall outfit is stylish and functional, but the wombat attached to his head throws the whole outfit off.

The Air Jordan 1 “Shadow” dates back to 1985, and features an iconic scheme that trades between black and shadow grey. The leather-built sneaker also utilizes the old school wings logo, and lacks any Jumpman branding on the heel that more recent retros have sported.

The Shadows come in a neutral black and grey all over. This shoe is very muted, understated and minimal. The shoe won’t be a difficult to prepare an outfit for. An outfit consisting of anything black, white, or grey will suffice when dressing for these sneakers. Maybe some small accents, but a less is more approach can be taken. Black is the new black and will forever be the new black. When matching these retro kicks it’s best not to overdo it. Keep it minimal and let the classic speak for itself.

Who did wear the Air Jordan 1 “Shadow” better, Bow Wow or Fabulous? Both of these rappers are very popular in the music industry and fashion. Taking note of their fame, they most likely have stylist who dress them, but we’re going to go out on a limb and assume they dressed themselves in the images above.

Bow Wow sports a black and white shirt, white pants and a black and white bandanna in his back right pocket. He definitely took the small accent approach. Since the sneakers are very neutral, the amount of white and black are almost overpowering the shoe itself.

Fabulous may be attending a red carpet event, but he took full advantage of the minimalist approach. A graphic tee plus jeans plus fly kicks always equals a successful outfit. The lack of too much black and white really sets the sneakers off and makes them pop.
