A Fresh and Wavy Air Jordan 5 Release For February 2023
The Air Jordan 5 "Aqua" (DD0587-047) is a retro basketball shoe from Jordan Brand scheduled for a late-January 2023 tentative release. Featuring a stealthy black nubuck upper, black midsole, and sock liner, many are considering this to be a shoe inspired by the iconic “Aqua” Air Jordan 8 colorway.
Rounding out the sneaker’s design are the contrasting hits of aqua blue that make their way to the outsole, Jumpman branding on the heel, and the inner lining of the reflective tongue. Last but not least, bright yellow and aqua-speckled accents appear on the midsole in classic Air Jordan 5 fashion.
Release Date And Pricing
The Air Jordan 5 "Aqua" is scheduled to release on April 8, 2023, for a retail price of $200 for adult pairs. You can expect these to drop online and in-store at most major retailers across the United States and overseas.
The Air Jordan 5 was originally released back in 1990 and was another Air Jordan silhouette designed by world-renowned sneaker designer, Tinker Hatfield. At the time of its release, the AJ5 featured a premium price tag of $125.
Visible Air Unit The Air Jordan 5 continued the trend started by the AJ3 by featuring a visible air unit which was a smash-hit within the industry and changed the footwear landscape forever.
Fighter Jet Inspiration The mid-foot design element that is sometimes referenced as “shark teeth”, was actually inspired by the imagery often found on old-school fighter jets.
