The Air Jordan 5 LS Retro Grape 2006 Colorway

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 LS Grape 2006

As one of the original four colorways released in 1990, the Grape colorway reappeared in 2006 on the Air Jordan 5 silhouette. A mostly white upper tops this release, with white accents on a mesh side panel, and white laces, ankle cuffs, toes, and upper midsoles. Emerald Green accents pepper the release, coating the shark tooth design on the midsole, the Jordan Jumpman logo on the tongue, and the inner tongue. Grape covers the padded tongue and the midsole, while black accents coat the back of the midsole and the inner sock liner. An Emerald Green Jumpman sits below the translucent tread on the bottom toe. The Grape colorway hit shelves on the AJ5 silhouette on September 30, 2006.
