Jordan 5 Retro “White Metallic” Launching 04/25 Colorway: MIDNIGHT NAVY/BLACK/FOOTBALL GRAY Style: Men's and Kids' Basketball Shoes

Release Date: April 25, 2026

Apr 15, 2026

This April, Nike Air Jordan is celebrating 35 years of the Air Jordan 5 with a bright classic colorway that goes all the way back to the OG AJ5. On April 25, get ready for the Air Jordan 5 Retro “White Metallic,” dropping in full family sizing for sneakerheads of all ages.

OG Fighter Jet DNA Meets Metallic Silver Style

In honor of the Jordan 5 Retro anniversary, Nike is releasing an extra special Air Jordan 5. The “White Metallic” colorway arriving in April combines modern minimalist style with the AJ5 features you’ve known and loved for 35 years.

The unique design is inspired by fighter jet motifs, with a classic shark-tooth midsole graphic that mimics the iconic art found on WWII planes. These graphics, which represent Jordan’s aggressive play style, are paired with the original AJ5’s iconic 3M reflective accents on the tongue designed to pop in pics and a clear outsole for a cool-as-ice aesthetic. The whole thing is wrapped in a bright white leather upper for a clean, classic style that sneakerheads will love.

The most dedicated Jordan fans will recognize the “Metallic White” as one of the OG colorways from the first Air Jordan 5 release, over three decades ago. Another original colorway, featuring a Black/White/Fire Red combo reminiscent of Michael Jordan’s own Chicago Bulls uniform, was already given a retro release last February as the Jordan 5 Retro “Reimagined.”

Family Sizing for the Next Generation of Sneakerheads

Sneakerheads of all ages should get ready for April 25, because the Air Jordan Retro 5 “Metallic White” is dropping in both adult and kids’ sizes. That’s right — everyone can get in on the action with the complete range of men’s, GS, PS and TD Jordan 5 family sizing.

These stylish sneakers are ideal for coordinating family fits. Achieve complete “toe-to-head” styling by building your outfits around the “Metallic White” drop. Whether you’re trying to look put together for family photos or dressing up for a family event, these matching kids’ and adult sneakers will help create a cohesive look, no matter how varied your family’s style is.

Of course, the Metallic Silver Jordan 5 doesn’t just look good. Jordan sneakers have long been beloved for their comfort and performance features, and the AJ5 White Metallic 2026 is no exception. 

The visible air unit in the clear outsole boosts impact absorption, while mesh side panels add breathability to keep feet cool even during the hottest competition. A high-cut padded collar and tongue helps stabilize the ankle, and lace locks keep the shoes securely fastened on even the most active kids’ feet.
