Celebrate Jordan History With Air Jordan 5 Retro Countdown Pack

The Air Jordan 5's design was inspired by American World War II fighter planes, and is visible through the shark-tooth shaped design on the sneaker's midsole. Other creative elements of the Air Jordan 5 include a translucent icy outsole, adjustable lace lock, visible Nike Air unit, molded-ankle collar and reflective tongue. The first variations of the sneaker came in leather and nubuck. "Nike Air" branding was featured on the back of the shoe's original run, while later retros displayed a Jumpman logo.

History and Timeline of the Air Jordan 5

The Air Jordan 5 is Michael Jordan's fifth signature sneaker under the Nike brand. This model was first released in 1990 and designed by Tinker Hatfield, who also created shoes in the company's archive such as the Nike Air Max, Air Trainer and Mag. Hatfield is also credited with designing every signature sneaker Michael Jordan played in during his professional career in the NBA since the Air Jordan 3.

The Air Jordan 5 was originally released in four colorways:

  • Black-black/metallic silver
  • White-grape/emerald
  • White-fire red/black
  • Black/fire red with Jordan's number 23 stitched on the heel (a player exclusive for the NBA star that never got released in the '90s)

Jordan 5 Retro Countdown Pack 2008

These shoes were part of Air Jordan's Countdown series which used shoe packs to celebrate 23 years of Air Jordans. These themed-release Jordans paired various Air Jordan silhouettes that added up to 23, so the Air Jordan 5 was paired with the Air Jordan 18. The Air Jordan 5 Retro countdown pack shoe mostly follows the traditional Jordan 5 design. However, on the outer ankle, there is a red, metallic "23" embroidered on the shoe. The Jordan OG colorway has a white upper, a black and red sole, and a reflective silver fabric for the shoe's tongue.
