The Air Jordan retro catalog for 2026 continues to add more heat. In addition to celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 6, the Jumpman is bringing out heat with in-line and collab colorways of the 4, the Bloodline 12, and the return of the White Metallic Air Jordan 5 for the summer. In addition to that icy white pair, the 5 is coming back in black with University Blue accents to match.

After getting word about the Air Jordan 5 Retro Black University Blue last fall, we’ve finally got a few images of the retro pair that’s set to drop later this year. Originally released in the mid-2000s, this pair is back just in time for its 20th anniversary.

Featuring a base of black nubuck with white contrast stitching, the side panel adds clear plastic to the webbed support, with a silver 3M tongue in standard Air Jordan 5 fashion. The University Blue shade is added to the sockliner, tongue back, and icy outsole, sitting below the white midsole.

The Air Jordan 5 Retro Black University Blue will be released June 20, 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in full family sizing, the retail prices are set at $220 (men), $155 (GS), $95 (PS), and $80 (TD). For all the latest Jordan news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
