The Daily Jordan: Air Jordan 5 Retro “Green Bean” – 2006

Hard to believe it’s been nearly nine years since the Air Jordan 5 “Green Bean” hit on September 23, 2006, the first time a Jordan shoe took on an all-over reflective treatment. It’s a concept that supposedly dates to the time of the original Air Jordan 5. To let the upper do its shine thing, Jordan Brand chose a Silver/Green Bean-Flint Grey combo – the flint as the complementary shade, and bright green so that the accent color could stand up to the shine when the lights flashed on. Even with the long-awaited Air Jordan 5 “Grape” finally releasing that same month after a 16-year gap from the 1990 OG, the Green Beans still sold through quite impressively. No markdowns at the big boxes. If you still have your pair of Green Beans, throw us a pic on Instagram with the hashtag #jordansdaily. More Daily Jordan on the way.
