Air Jordan 5 Retro SE "Michigan"

The Air Jordan 5 “Michigan” also known as the “Inspire” colorway is a vibrant look for the iconic silhouette that takes inspiration from the University of Michigan. Reminiscent of player exclusive colorways of Air Jordans designed just for the Michigan Wolverines basketball team, who are one of the top college programs sponsored by Jordan Brand, this Jordan 5 features a maize yellow nubuck upper with navy blue accents throughout, including for the reflective tongue. The heel is updated with a Team Jordan patch stitched on each shoe, while the model’s signature icy clear outsole finishes the striking look. The Air Jordan 5 “Michigan” released on July 6, 2019.

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.
