My Sneaker Closet - My 2nd Air Jordan's

Air Jordan 5 Commercial

The original Air Jordan 5 was released in February 1990, again designed by Hatfield. Some elements were the same from the Air Jordan 4, but the Air Jordan 5's most distinctive feature is arguably its reflective tongue. There was also another innovation: clear rubber soles. The soles gave the shoe a whole new and unique look.

The Air Jordan V also featured a base top with lace locks, making strapping on the shoe easy. The lace lock feature partly inspired the Air Jordan Spiz'ike. The Air Jordan 5 model is considered to have the best structure and design to wear during basketball games and sold the most pairs of shoes from the Air Jordan line.

Air Jordan 5 LS (Deep Burgundy/Lt Graphite-Silver) Limited Life Style Edition

Hatfield is believed to have drawn inspiration for the Air Jordan 5 from the World War II Mustang fighter plane; which is most notably visible in the shark teeth shapes on the midsole. The Air Jordan 5 was retroed in 2000 to great demand. In 2006 several re-retro 5's had released including the very popular LS "Grape" V's, the LS "burgundy" V's and the popular "Fire-Red" V's.
