Air Jordan 5 Retro "White Black" Launching 12/07 Colorway: WHITE/BLACK/METALLIC SILVER Style: Men's and Kids' Basketball Shoes

Release Date: December 07, 2024

Dec 3, 2024

By 1990, Michael Jordan had already cemented himself in the NBA Hall of Fame. While he wouldn't earn his first of six championships for another year, the Black Cat still had a big victory this season — the Air Jordan 5

Now, Jordan Brand is releasing a fresh take on Tinker Hatfield’s legendary 1990 design that combines heritage and modern flair. The Air Jordan 5 Retro "White Black" is an essential addition to the iconic Jordan lineup with a versatile and neutral palette of white, black, Sail, and Metallic Silver. This clean colorway will be available in men's, grade school kids', preschool kids', and toddler kids' sizes on December 7 — just in time to dress up your holiday threads.

Whether you’re drawn to the crisp aesthetic or the premium materials, the "White Black" AJ5 will impress off the court. At the heart of this design is a white split-grain leather upper, paired with the signature white mesh netting on the sides and tongue.

There are even crisp white laces with a Sail lace toggle — complete with a black Jumpman — on the adult and grade school kids' shoes. Unfortunately, the little kids will have to be content with regular laces.

The standout feature is the 3M reflective Metallic Silver tongue, emblazoned with the iconic black Jumpman logo, making a bold statement under any light. Black accents on the padded collar, inner lining, and midsole create a striking contrast, while the speckled shark-tooth detailing nods to the Air Jordan 5’s fighter-plane-inspired roots.

On the back of the tongue, you'll see "Air Jordan" printed in white. There's additional black Jumpman branding on the heel.

You'll see the tell-tale Air unit in the heel of the adult and grade school kids' shoes. The toddler and preschool shoes don't have this detail and instead have a solid black heel.

The look is completed with a black midsole and translucent rubber herringbone outsole with a milky finish, delivering durability and traction with flex grooves. Embedded in the forefoot is a final black Jumpman logo, along with the word "Jordan" printed on the midfoot patch.

Inspired by Michael Jordan’s on-court dominance and fearless playing style, the Air Jordan 5 basketball shoe first hit the scene in 1990 and has been a cultural mainstay ever since. This black-and-white edition honors that legacy with premium materials and thoughtful design touches that highlight both performance and aesthetic appeal. Pair it with your casual jeans and a baggy tee for a look that'll dominate the streets.

The Jordan 5 Retro "White Black" lands on December 7 in men's, grade school kids', preschool kids', and toddler kids' sizes online and at your local Hibbett and City Gear stores.
