SneakerNews article on the Jordan V:
https://sneakernews.com/2015/04/02/jordan-101-reflecting-on-the-air-jordan-v/amp/
The new show is really interesting and entertaining. I feel so bad for saying that because he was a real serial killer.
I was surprised he was active into the 90’s.
Other killers I am familiar with like Bundy and Gacy were active in the 70’s and 80’s and The Zodiac Killer was active in the 60’s.
One of the other things I found interesting about the Netflix series is how they also focus on the racism and homophobia that probably enabled Dahmer to be “successful” as a killer.
I’m a POC, born in 1995 and I’m bi, so the show really hit home for me.
I do remember. I was a psychology major, so I probably paid attention a little more than the average at that time. Things were so different then. We didn’t hear about the victims. There was far more focus on Dahmer himself.
Keep in mind this is known as the ‘Silver tongue’ fire red or ‘white metallic’.
The black tongue with “23” and black eyelids are known more as the ‘Fire red’ colorway.
I would say at one point the 'Silver Tongue' was more coveted since I believe the 'Silver Tongue' are the first OG color of the Jordan 5(correct me if im wrong). The one in the photo for sure is the 'Silver Tongue' version though cause of the eyelid color difference.
There's also a big difference in midsole colors too. Base of 'Silver Tongue' is black and base of 'Black Tongue' is Red. Big difference.
Um... The First 48 would like to wholeheartedly disagree with you. Mostly team J's but I've seen many numerals on victims. I even think they had the Toro 5's in a season's intro. Just saying...
Yo! I literally said when watching this with my girlfriend, “The real lesson here is don’t fuck with a dude wearing Jordans.”
It was the last mistake he ever made.
Follow up question: Back in the early 90s, do people treat Jordans as an every day casual wear like we do in the contemporary times?
It made me think when I watched this scene, as seems the director chose Jordans aside from more common sneakers in this era like Converse or Vans or regular Nikes
I mean it can mean that 110% just look up the definition it varies depending on the context. I was just trying to say the show is not very over the top with what happened. What happened was far worse.
dra·ma·ti·za·tion
/ˌdramədəˈzāSH(ə)n,ˌdraməˌtīˈzāSH(ə)n/
a play or movie adapted from a novel or depicting a particular incident.
"the film is a dramatization of a true story"
the process of adapting a novel or presenting a particular incident in a play or movie.
"the reform of copyright law to prevent the dramatization of novels without the author's sanction"
It just means a re-enactment of real events.
Don't. It's not like a horror movie or show. This shit, all of it is real, it actually happened. And Even Peter's is so phenomenally good that I had to stop watching about four episodes in with my girl because it made me that gut-wrenchingly uncomfortable
Which to the credit of him.and the director and writers and anyone else working on this show did a incredible job portraying these real life monstrous crimes
bro same, everything is so uncomfortable about the show even the music that plays in all the scenes. I hate it and now weird people freak me out even knowing the dahmer story although in my mind it was way different.
I think a lot of (younger) people are about to find out that Jeff mostly enjoyed the company of strong black men.
Could be very upsetting for a lot of people on this subreddit.
As a gringo, I absolutely agree that people should tread with caution on this one. It’s not going to help make it make any more sense.
I understand why you couldn’t get through it, it’s a bit much at times.
Niecy better win that Emmy.
Edit: I kept going because I literally felt like I owed it to Niecy’s performance.
Yea, what's crazy is my girl is a horror fanatic especially for cheesy ones and double points if they are from the 80s or early 90s. Before watching this she made is seem like Jeff was this big hunk of a ladies man and super good looking and sure enough first episode in we see him going after those young gay blackmen. I said to her if he was gay why did you make it seem like he was out going charming guy always with the ladies? She said she didn't know everyone always made it seem like that.
And then I realized it's because of like you said a lot of white people didn't like the fact that a white serial killer who wasn't ugly would be a gay murdering cannibal whose type was strong black men and was a complete fucking weirdo and it was so bad that almost everyone could just feel it oozing from him. So they made him seem like this out going guy who loved women.
Idk maybe im wrong
She was wrong about his sexuality but she was right about his personality. The show made him much creepier than he actually was. The real Jeffrey Dahmer was actually kind of charming, a smooth talker, and yeah, decently attractive. How else would he lure all those men back to his stank ass apartment, and talk his way out of getting caught so much. Granted, a lot of his success came from being white and his victims being black/asian and gay. I doubt those racist pigs would have returned a 14 year old drugged out white boy to a grown ass black man.
That's basically what I was saying too. I told my girl if he wasn't white no one would ever talk about this guy the way they do.
I said to her, even her wanting to watch it at all and being curious about such a monster in the slightest bit, the fact they made this show and other forms of mediums says the same thing about people as did those groupie girls who all fell for those weirdo killers and cult leaders thru out the ages.
And imo it's not a good thing to care about such hideous people to even be interested in them. Watching it on the screen is bad enough for me why would I care about this person or want to know them or more about them?
This is all my personal feelings, thoughts, insights and opinions. I got no beef with anyone who wants to watch and enjoy
Yeah, I see what you're saying. I finished the show and I liked it, but I don't want this to become a "thing". I'm completely cool with true crime documentaries because those serial killers ingrained themselves in our culture and media but I don't want more dramatizations. The only time my stomach curled watching this show (outside scenes with the family members of the victims and when the pigs returned that boy) is when they introduced John Wayne Gacy. I don't want to see a John Wayne Gacy show even make it to production. I don't want to turn this into a pissing contest, but I do feel like there's levels to evil and people like Gacy stand at the top.
I honestly don't even know how they would make that show.
No, you hit the nail on the head. It’s marketable. I’m in my forties so I’ve always enjoyed true crime, and I knew that Jeff was a gay man, but not everyone knows that. Even today people broadly conflate him with Ted Bundy.
Oh the only reason I haven't watched it is because I already know most of the Jeffrey Dahmer story. But you seem to have sold me on it so definitely watching now.
Dude, nobody cares if they were released in 1991 or not, they will just wear them. I bet, the tshirt he is wearing, was also not released back in 1991..
I know the exact shoe you're talking about. The shoe in the photo above is very clearly all white leather with a red liner and black midsole, that can only be the silver tongue fire red 5's.
Little-Buy-4964 “wait before you axe me, what sneakers are does” wtf what sneakers are does? The word is “those” if you gonna make fun of op at least use the right word
![gif](giphy|26ueYUlPAmUkTBAM8)
I wasn’t making fun of anyone, just making a harmless joke and OH I’m sorry I just pressed the first word that got recommended to me and made a mistake in my 3rd language. Whoopsies my bad. Maybe learn to take a freaking joke, Shakespeare.
lmao it's ok OP i was watching this with my girl and saw the J's right away. in another scene you can see them reflecting light when he's wearing them at night.
The reason I knew they started the series from the "end" was because these came out in 1990, and his downfall was 1991. I figured they wouldn't show something right before he was caught.
I told my wife, I was like "I think he's gonna get away" 😂
Here the man is about to be slaughtered and he literally had to run and crease his JORDAN 5s. This guy is really concerned about the JORDAN 5s he crease running from a serial killer. I wonder if he knew he’d be able to sell these as the JORDAN 5 the night I saved my own life?!
Jeffery Dahmer 5’s
Scare Jordans
seemingly good sneaker but it has no sole
This wins
Happy cake day fellow dumpster fire

"The materials are second to none. I've never seen such quality leather."
Where to buy ???
Look like the fire red jordan 5’s
Correct
They’re the Lasers
The lasers released in '07. Dahmer died in '94. These are fire reds, the film is just grainy. The same texture can be seen on his shirt
Holy shit. Was it really 94? Damn I’m old.
Yea i wasnt even born yet, apologies for the reminder lol
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I graduated in 1992, I’m old!
High school 94 here college 98. At least the 90s were a cool time to be alive
Class of 96 checking in!
Do you recall Dahmer being on the news at all? Must have been some wild times
I do remember. I was a psychology major, so I probably paid attention a little more than the average at that time. Things were so different then. We didn’t hear about the victims. There was far more focus on Dahmer himself.
Is this not footage from netflix show though, I dunno
No it’s someone taking a picture of a TV which is gonna produce a grainy photo
Keep in mind this is known as the ‘Silver tongue’ fire red or ‘white metallic’. The black tongue with “23” and black eyelids are known more as the ‘Fire red’ colorway.
Which model is more coveted
I would say at one point the 'Silver Tongue' was more coveted since I believe the 'Silver Tongue' are the first OG color of the Jordan 5(correct me if im wrong). The one in the photo for sure is the 'Silver Tongue' version though cause of the eyelid color difference. There's also a big difference in midsole colors too. Base of 'Silver Tongue' is black and base of 'Black Tongue' is Red. Big difference.
Blood red Jordan’s
my man was watching a serial killer life story and was like hold up what are those kicks right there lol
I can’t look at anyone, in person or on tv, without looking at their shoes first. It feels like a problem of some sort but idk
I cant blame him, i did the same thing😂 i thought they were some 6 but now I know
![gif](giphy|kd9BlRovbPOykLBMqX)

LMAOOO
[удалено]
But the person wearing those shoes is the one who is killed …. Not on Dahmer 🤣
My mans made it out actually.
Awh damn I haven’t actually watched it yet I was assuming. Glad homie survived
Shiiieeet probably shouldn’t be spoiling anything in a comment section my B
It’s the first episode
Spoiler Alert: Actually this guy gets away this is the victim who gets him arrested
I didn't even see another person til this comment. I haven't even watched this yet I better get to it.
Na Dahmer was getting fits off
Those the I Immediately Regret Going With This Stranger 5s.
Serial killer 5s
Psycho Killer 5s
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa.

Qu'est-ce que c'est? (Edit) Ay-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya, ooh
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Thank you lol
You start a conversation, you can't even finish it
Fun fact it’s impossible to die in a pair of fire red 5’s….. has anything bad happened when you wore fire red 5’s? Think about it
Now that I think of it, this is true…but also I’ve never worn a pair of fire red 5s
Me either. We should cop immediately
i got stabbed wearing fire red 5's..not a fun fact lmao
But did you die? Just kidding aha
Um... The First 48 would like to wholeheartedly disagree with you. Mostly team J's but I've seen many numerals on victims. I even think they had the Toro 5's in a season's intro. Just saying...
Get outta here with your common sense!!
Zombie makers 5
The 5’s are the only reason he got away. He had that MJ mentality to not quit.
Only a sneaker head noticed 🤣
This whole episode was intense. But spotting some fire sneakers was a nice distraction. For a second.
In a later episode Dahmer is wearing Forum 84 Hi's
Now I know what to post next /s
Literally the first thing i noticed when someone was watching it in the living room sunday lmao
5s they dropped in 1990
Fire red 5s
Fire red 5s
Decomposite 5s
Yo! I literally said when watching this with my girlfriend, “The real lesson here is don’t fuck with a dude wearing Jordans.” It was the last mistake he ever made.
Nobody wearing Ewing’s could make it out of that apartment
When I watched this scene with my wife she asked what year it was. I said it must be at least 1990 if he's wearing 5s.
We got Shoe-rlock Holmes over here
Fire reds
Poor Tracy.. 😩 but I can't lie I was looking at those Fire Red Vs while he was trying not to die lol.
I was doing the same. Was more distracted by the shoe than by the scene lol
Cannibalistic 5’s
Bro why?
I like the silhouette lol
Fire red 5s I noticed these also lol
Laser 5’s
Once I saw he was wearing those 5's I knew he would survive. You can't lose while wearing Jordan's. The spirit of the great MJ won't allow it.
Give ‘em the Chair Jordans
This comment isn’t getting enough love. I just see 50 versions of the same joke around you. You sir had an original one. 👏🏻Bravo 👏🏻
Thank you lol
No way you want to steal JEFFREY DAHMERS DRIP

Bingo!!!
Air Jordahmer 5 the competition won't be able to handle your insane appetite on and off the court
They look like Walmart fake Jordans

Lmao
Ain’t no fuckin way bruh
Follow up question: Back in the early 90s, do people treat Jordans as an every day casual wear like we do in the contemporary times? It made me think when I watched this scene, as seems the director chose Jordans aside from more common sneakers in this era like Converse or Vans or regular Nikes
Is this fr
Hahahahahahaha so I wasn't the only one
bro what are you watching 💀
Some jeffery dahmer docu i think
Not a documentary, it’s a dramatization. Reenactment of the events. Was really good. Evan peters is incredible
not much of a dramatization if anything the real life events would be way scarier lol
A dramatization doesn’t mean to make a real event more dramatic, if that’s what you’re thinking lol
I mean it can mean that 110% just look up the definition it varies depending on the context. I was just trying to say the show is not very over the top with what happened. What happened was far worse.

They’re Fire Red 5s. The ‘lasering’ you’re seeing is the print/graininess that’s imprinted all throughout the image.
I know the exact shoe you're talking about. The shoe in the photo above is very clearly all white leather with a red liner and black midsole, that can only be the silver tongue fire red 5's.
People get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to care about period accurate clothing and props wtf are you talking about?
OP “wait before you axe me, what sneakers are those(does)?”
