Best Air Jordan 5 Sneakers

Already a beauty to behold when it first came out, this silhouette benefited from incredible collaborations and masterful design interpretation. The Air Jordan 5 has a robust leather upper, drawing inspiration from Mustang fighter jet exteriors. On the midsole, the shoe boasts an instantly recognizable “shark tooth” design, symbolizing power and precision – two things Michael Jordan was known for when he was on the court of play. Here’s our list of the top 10 best Air Jordan 5 colourways.

Air Jordan 5 “Grape”
