Off-White x Air Jordan 5 “Sail” Delivers Large Returns To Resellers

Virgil Abloh’s Off-White brand has been collaborating with the like of the Jordan Brand for three years now. This partnership has proven to be incredibly fruitful over the years and earlier in 2020, the two came through with a “Metallic Silver” version of the 5, which dropped just in time for the NBA All-Star Weekend. Now, the two are back with yet another Air Jordan 5, this time in a “Sail” offering. The shoe is set to release on Thursday, October 29th, and as you would expect from an Off-White x Jordan Brand collab, it is already selling for well-above the retail price on StockX.

Pretty well every single size is currently going for more than three times the original value of the shoe, which was set at $250 USD. For instance, common sizes like 10 and 10.5 US are being sold for an average of $780 USD. From there, larger sizes like 12 and 13 are all marked up at $850 USD, while the cheapest size is a 6 US at $750 USD. For those with smaller feet, you will most likely have to pay over $1000 USD if you miss out on the retail drop.

This is a gorgeous yet unorthodox Air Jordan 5 colorway that contains a “Sail” upper with a hint of yellowing all the way throughout. The midsole of the sneaker is given a black paint job as the classic Jordan 5 shark teeth are red. Lastly, the tongue has an Off-White-inspired window cutout, all while bearing some silver 3M material with a red Jumpman logo in the middle.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
