Vintage Gear: Air Jordan 5 “Grape” Jacket – 1990

Back in the early ’90s when sports apparel was quickly morphing into everyday wearable fashion, Nike was owning the coordinated sports apparel business. Whether it was big name signature athletes like Jordan and Andre Agassi, or lines for Nike Basketball like Flight or Force, a spectrum of apparel and accessories was made available each and every year. Nike was like a fashion designer releasing a seasonal collection each year.

To match with the Air Jordan 5 in 1990, Nike issued track suits and jackets like this “Grape” colorway. Simple layout, tasteful branding.

You can still pick these vintage items up on eBay.
