The Air Jordan 5 Premium Takes Flight in 2017

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 Premium Take Flight 2017

The Jordan Brand introduced its Take Flight colorway to the Premium version of its Air Jordan 5 silhouette in 2017. A Sequoia Green color coats the majority of this upper with a premium leather construction. The sneaker's side panels incorporate breathable mesh slats to create a lighter, airier design. A Vachetta Tan color then covers the top portion of the tongue and the Jordan "Jumpman" logo. The other two "Jumpman" emblems are colored Sequoia Green. One sits on the heel, while the other rests underneath the translucent white tread on the shoe's outsole. A transparent window on each lateral midsole side reveals a Zoom Air insert designed to provide extra cushion. The premium release hit the shelves on February 11, 2017.
