An unprecedented look

The Jordan 5 first appeared in 1990. Its designer, Tinker Hatfield, was inspired by the North American Aviation P-51 Mustang fighter jet from World War II, which is why the iconic "shark-teeth" appear on the sides of the midsole of the shoe. The 3M reflective tongue and the reflective lacing system stand out, but the greatest innovation is in the lower part of the shoe. For the first time, a Jordan silhouette included a translucent midsole.

The start of Jordan re-releases

Its success, following in the line of it predecessors, has prompted Jordan to reissue the silhouette with new colorways and styles. In fact, the Air Jordan 5 was among the first sneakers to launch remastered drops, and marked the passage of the Air Jordan Retro in the new millennium. The model has undoubtedly marked a before and after in history, and not only for its design and its premium performance qualities, but also for having joined the ranks among new dynamic shoes that would break records in the sneaker culture and market..
