Air Jordan 5 sneakers “Island Green”
Air Jordan 5 sneakers “Island Green”
The Air Jordan 5 “Island Green” is inspired by the warm, tropical vibes of island beaches with its light green accents. Michael Jordan’s fifth signature Nike basketball shoe features a premium white leather constructed upper with glossy tonal cheetah spots printed into the design. Soothing Island Green eyelets and netting on the mid-panel and tongue contrasts the sleek upper. An embroidered light green Jumpman covers the heel with black laces and a clear lace lock adding the finishing touches to the upper. The midsole goes all black with white speckled "teeth" detailing, and the translucent rubber portions of the outsole also feature the tropical green hue. Release date: November 11, 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.
