Air Jordan 5 Welcomes Nike Air For Summer 2016

As recently as 2012, the prospect of Nike Air returning to select Air Jordan retros looked impossible. The beloved branding disappeared from Jordans after 2001 as Jordan Brand continued to establish its presence in the marketplace as a separate entity from Nike. But Air Jordan 3 Retro ’88 in 2013 signaled an apparent shift in Jordan Brand’s business plan, and now it’s just a question of which Js they’re going to put through the OG-tinged retro remaster process. We do know a couple steps ahead, however. Air Jordan 4 “White/Cement” is coming February 13, to be followed by Air Jordan 5 “Black/Metallic Silver” in July – both in their original formats with Nike Air on the heel. Here’s an early look at the latter, which shows off the white stitching and Durabuck upper than older fans have been shouting for since this shoe’s last OG retro in 2000. Let us know if you’re getting psyched for this summertime drop below.
