Air Jordan 5 Retro
a legendary silhouette with a sporty soul and distinctive street style - Air Jordan 5 Retro
The Air Jordan 5 Retro is one of the most iconic models in Jordan history. Tinker Hatfield designed them in 1990 with inspiration from WWII fighter planes, and the aggressive aesthetic is evident at first glance - from the "shark teeth" on the midsole to the distinctive layering of materials. The model was made famous by Michael Jordan during his phenomenal season and has been worn by players like Ray Allen and Chris Paul in various PE editions.
The upper is made up of premium leather, synthetics or mesh panels (depending on the edition) that provide a combination of durability, support and stylish looks. The iconic reflective 3M tongue increases visibility and adds a unique character to the model. Cushioning is provided by a visible Air unit in the heel, complemented by soft foam for comfort even during all-day wear. The rubber outsole with a distinctive herringbone traction pattern provides a sure step on a variety of surfaces.
The AJ5 is now a lifestyle sneaker with strong performance roots - perfect for sneakerheads, fans of retro basketball design and those who want a distinctive, charismatic shoe that instantly catches the eye.
Outfit tips: goes great with cargo pants, loose jeans, Jordan sweatpants, technical streetwear jackets and oversized sweatshirts. In a minimalist outfit, they work as a major statement piece that adds energy and character to the whole look.

In the history of sneakers, there is perhaps no more successful collaboration between a sneaker brand and an athlete than in the case of Michael Jordan and Nike. From the union of these two concepts came a legend in the form of Air Jordan in 1984. These sneakers were initially worn exclusively by the legendary thirty-three, however, within a few months of their introduction, Jordans were also in the hands of the public.
The legend in the form of the Air Jordan 1
The Air Jordan 1, which Michael first put on more than thirty years ago, is now one of the most popular silhouettes among sneakerheads. But the beginnings weren't exactly easy. In 1985, the most famous basketball player in history was banned from wearing Jordan 1 shoes because they didn't meet the prescribed game dress code, according to the NBA . To make matters worse, he would have to pay a $5,000 fine for every game he wore them.
This, of course, wouldn't be the seasoned Nike, which had a proper respect for its workhorse. Rather than risk the recall of this Jordan sneaker, it was decided that the company would rather cash in any such fine to Michael just so he could wear the J's as they were. The pinnacle of healthy audacity was an ad for just the Air Jordan 1 shoe called "banned." It featured, among other things, the legendary line, "The NBA threw them (Air Jordan 1) out of the game. Unfortunately the NBA can't stop YOU from wearing them".
New era, new Jordans
Time moved on, and as the years passed, so did more Jordan shoes. After the legendary 1s came the 2s, then the 3s, and by 2000 the number of new silhouettes had climbed to 15. Today, there are many more, and more models are still being added. However, even though these are far from being some worthless pieces, the glory of their first retro models is hardly matched by the new Jordan shoes aka Jordans .
Nike Jordan shoes have already entered their fourth decade of existence. Unlike a lot of other brands, Jordan sneakers have never strayed from their pre-marked path, that is to produce basketball sneakers for top athletes. But from the street basketball courts and gym floors, Air Jordan shoes have moved in a big way to the city streets as well. Among other things, the popularity among fashion and sneaker fans is also due to their popularity among the world's music stars, who do not hesitate to wear Jordan sneakers to concerts, fashion events and the most prestigious music awards.
