Air Jordan 5 Retro OG "Black/Metallic"
Air Jordan 5 Retro OG "Black/Metallic"
The original and iconic Black/Metallic Silver colorway of the Air Jordan 5 is without a doubt one of the greatest AIr Jordans of all time. Originally released in 1990, this listing is for the 2016 retro edition complete with OG Nike Air branding.
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.
