Classic, classic, classic! When it comes to classics, people at all times seem to fall in love with and remember the first time they saw the original. Within the sneaker community, the mindset of the sneakerhead is built on genuine classics, which is why brands continue to give the community what they want. The Air Jordan 5 is probably the most well-known Air Jordan models and is by far the favourite of diehard fans around the globe. Since hitting court in 1989 it has become a worldwide phenomenon. The metallic black colorway is probably the most popular because of its simplicity and famous nubuck leather. The shoe was released earlier in 2011, but this time it is back better and more like the 90s OG pair.
The Jordan brand has been releasing retro under its “Nike Air” brand name for the past four years starting with cement white 3s, then cement white 4s, and now metallic black 5s. The model is adorned with classic black nubuck leather, a red jumpman, and now “Nike Air” branding on the back of the shoe and on the inside. Fans can even flash back to when Will Smith wore it in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”.
This model will endlessly represent the 90s and fans can get a taste of what it was like by buying a pair on July 23 this month.rd. The only downside is the $220 price label. Sneakerheads appreciate the undeniable fact that brands hear our voices and bring us better quality sneakers, but on the other hand they’ve ripped our pockets! Hopefully Jordan Brand will catch on and stick with its usual $190 price label, but for now look at the star image below and enjoy your 90s love.
