AIR JORDAN 5 RETRO WMNS "Blue Bird"
The Women’s Air Jordan 5 “Bluebird” is a women’s-only colorway of the vintage basketball shoe that was released in October 2021. The “Bluebird” variation of Michael Jordan’s fifth signature shoe treats the early ‘90s performance basketball design to a easy-on-the-eyes, monochromatic light blue makeover. Plush Bluebird-colored suede appears on the upper, save for the semi-translucent netting on the mid-panel and lower tongue. The laces and eyelets are designed in the same light blue hue. A grey Jumpman is embroidered on the heel and a blue Jumpman is found on the top of the reflective silver tongue. The clear lace lock and blue toggle are true-to-original design components of the Air Jordan 5. Silver shark tooth detailing is painted on the midsole. An icy blue outsole completes the look. Release date: October 7, 2021
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.
