The Air Jordan 5 has been a cornerstone of sneaker culture since its original release in 1990. Known for its sleek design and association with Michael Jordan, this iconic silhouette is set to make a notable comeback with the reissue of the ‘Black Metallic’ colorway in early 2025. This colorway, which has a history dating back to its last release in 2016, will feature a black nubuck upper accented with metallic silver tongues and icy blue outsoles. An exciting twist is that this upcoming release will likely feature elevated construction methods compared to previous versions.
Fans of the Jordan brand will appreciate the nostalgia of this re-release, especially with its ties to the All-Star weekend, a significant period for sneaker releases. Prior to this, the Black Metallic colorway also saw a unique reinterpretation in the form of a golf-ready model in 2020, showing the continued evolution of the AJ5. As we approach the release date, sneaker enthusiasts are gearing up for what promises to be one of the most sought-after drops of 2025.
