Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Black Grape'

Air Jordan 5 Retro — Black Grape

A true OG colorway that defined an era. The Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Black Grape' resurrects one of the most iconic AJ5 makeups from 1990, delivering the bold contrast of black, new emerald, and grape ice that made sneaker history on the hardwood.

Design Heritage

Conceived by Tinker Hatfield and inspired by the P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft, the Air Jordan 5 broke new ground in basketball footwear when Michael Jordan debuted it during the 1990-91 NBA season. The 'Black Grape' colorway became an instant classic — raw, aggressive, and unmistakably Jordan.

Key Features

• Shark Tooth Midsole — The fighter jet nose-inspired toothed midsole pattern, the defining visual signature of the AJ5 silhouette.
• 3M Reflective Tongue — A first for the Jordan line when introduced in 1990, still a standout detail in every retro release.
• Nike Air Heel Cushioning — Visible air unit in the heel for responsive, impact-absorbing cushioning on and off court.
• Semi-Transparent Outsole — Icy rubber sole with a premium finish, complementing the Black Grape colorblocking.
• Lace Lock Clips — The iconic plastic lace fastening system, a hallmark of the original 1990 design.
• Mesh Side Ventilation — Perforated side panels for breathability and airflow during intense wear.

Colorway

Black / New Emerald / Grape Ice — a bold, high-contrast palette that channels the aggressive energy of early 90s basketball culture and remains one of the most sought-after AJ5 colorways of all time.
