Air Jordan 5 Retro "Jade Horizon"

The Air Jordan 5 “Jade Horizon” is a March 2022 release of Michael Jordan’s vintage basketball shoe in a colorway with unique, retro-inspired details. A versatile look for the popular, old school basketball and lifestyle shoe by Jordan Brand, the Jordan 5 in “Jade Horizon” has a Jade Horizon-colored leather construction. The eyelet panels, lace toggle, and outsole feature a vintage-inspired, oxidized appearance. A white Jumpman is embroidered on the silver reflective tongue that shines when exposed to light in the dark. Moreover, a white Jumpman is embroidered on the heel. Finishing touches include a black painted midsole with white “shark tooth” detailing with black speckling on the forefoot. Release date: March 25, 2022

Key Points:

Fighter Jet Midsole: Features the iconic "shark-tooth" design on the midsole, a tribute to the nose art found on WWII fighter planes.

Quarter Panel Netting: Features plastic mesh window inserts on the side panels for enhanced breathability and a technical look.

Ankle Support & Padding: Known for its "bulky" but comfortable profile, featuring a heavily padded collar and asymmetrical "anatomical" foam to lock the heel in place.

Inner Details: Many models include an upside-down "Air Jordan" patch on the inner tongue—a classic detail from the original 1990 production.

Translucent "Icy" Outsole: The first model in the Jordan franchise to utilize a clear rubber outsole, providing a distinct, premium aesthetic.
