Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Grape'
Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Grape'
Air Jordan 5 Retro — Grape
One of the most beloved AJ5 colorways of all time, back where it belongs. The Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Grape' resurrects the original 1990 Black Grape makeup in a fresh iteration — delivering the iconic white, new emerald, and grape ice palette that first defined the Jordan 5's place in sneaker history.
Design Heritage
The Grape colorway debuted alongside the Air Jordan 5 in 1990, worn by Michael Jordan during one of the most dominant stretches of his early career. Over three decades later, it remains a benchmark AJ5 colorway — instantly recognizable, endlessly covetable, and deeply rooted in basketball and street culture.
Key Features
- Grape Ice / New Emerald / Black Colorway — The quintessential AJ5 three-tone combination: a white and grape ice upper with emerald green and black accent details that pop with every glance.
- Shark Tooth Midsole — The iconic P-51 Mustang fighter jet nose-inspired toothed midsole, the unmistakable visual signature of the Jordan 5.
- 3M Reflective Tongue — Reflective material on the tongue catches light brilliantly — a hallmark innovation of the original 1990 release.
- Nike Air Heel Cushioning — Visible air unit in the heel for responsive, cushioned support all day long.
- Semi-Transparent Grape Ice Outsole — The icy translucent outsole is one of the Grape's most distinctive details, giving the shoe its signature finish.
- Lace Lock Clips & Mesh Side Ventilation — OG construction details preserved faithfully from Tinker Hatfield's 1990 blueprint.
