Jordan 5 Retro Black Grape Breakdown

The Air Jordan 5's design was inspired by American World War II fighter planes, and is visible through the shark-tooth shaped design on the sneaker's midsole. Other creative elements of the Air Jordan 5 include a translucent icy outsole, adjustable lace lock, visible Nike Air unit, molded-ankle collar and reflective tongue. The first variations of the sneaker came in leather and nubuck. "Nike Air" branding was featured on the back of the shoe's original run, while later retros displayed a Jumpman logo.

History and Timeline of the Air Jordan 5

The Air Jordan 5 is Michael Jordan's fifth signature sneaker under the Nike brand. This model was first released in 1990 and designed by Tinker Hatfield, who also created shoes in the company's archive such as the Nike Air Max, Air Trainer and Mag. Hatfield is also credited with designing every signature sneaker Michael Jordan played in during his professional career in the NBA since the Air Jordan 3.

The Air Jordan 5 was originally released in four colorways:

  • Black-black/metallic silver
  • White-grape/emerald
  • White-fire red/black
  • Black/fire red with Jordan's number 23 stitched on the heel (a player exclusive for the NBA star that never got released in the '90s)

Jordan 5 Retro Black Grape 2013

The Air Jordan 5 Retro Black Grape is a blacker variant of the popular Grape colorway. Released in 2013, the Black Grape replaces the dominant purple upper of the classic Air Jordan purple Grape sneaker with more black and higher contrast in the mid-panel netting. The eye-popping combination of Grape Ice and New Emerald returns on the midsole and tongue. The distinctive Air Jordan icy blue outsole is also borrowed from the OG Grape, though the Black Grape opts for a green Jumpman logo in place of the basic black.
