Debuting in 1990, the Air Jordan 5 "Grape" broke the mold with its bold colorway, diverging from the traditional Chicago Bulls hues. Designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, the silhouette drew inspiration from World War II fighter jets, evident in its aggressive midsole design.
The "Grape" colorway gained cultural significance through its appearances on Michael Jordan's Wheaties box and as a staple in Will Smith's wardrobe on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Over the years, the "Grape" theme has inspired several iterations, including the "Black Grape," "Fresh Prince," and "Alternate Grape" editions, each paying homage to the original's enduring legacy.

The Air Jordan 5 "Grape" 2025 release maintains the silhouette's classic structure, offering a true-to-size fit for most wearers. However, individuals with wider feet might consider going half a size up to ensure optimal comfort, especially given the shoe's snug toe box. The padded ankle collar and cushioned midsole provide ample support, making it suitable for both casual wear and on-court performance. As always, trying on the sneakers in-store or consulting with fit guides is recommended to achieve the best fit.
