The Air Jordan 5 was released in February 1990. When you look at the AJ V besides the icey soles, what else do you notice? What I notice is the flames on the side. Tinker came to the conclusion that the way Michael performed was "like a Fighter Plane". When the AJ 5 was designed, the inspiration was "grey nurse shark" or Super marine Spitfire MkVIII, which is a World War II British fighter plane. To add to the finishing touches of the shoe, Tinker added a reflective 3M tongue with Jumpman embroidery.

The Air Jordan V, the first shoe to feature a reflective material on any Air Jordan. The tongue was used with 3M reflective fabric to ensure the shoe had a unique feature. It was also the first Air Jordan to come with lace locks to provide a better fit. The Air Jordan V was only retroed once and sold out instantly! The lines were out the door for the shoes because of the demand. We have them IN STOCK now, order first before you regret it!
