While retro Jordans may not be hitting the same as they once did, the OG colorways always cause a big turnout. While we know we're getting a Reimagined Black Toe Jordan 1 for Holiday 2024, Spring 2025 will see an OG Air Jordan 5 return with the Black Metallic pair. Not only is this one of the most beloved colorways by the masses, but it was a favorite of the late Virgil Abloh, who used the colorway to inspire his iconic Off-White x Air Jordan 5 collab and slept with a pair at the end of his bed as a child.
This 2025 re-release of the Air Jordan 5 Retro OG Black Metallic remains true to its origins, featuring a black nubuck upper that provides a sleek and versatile appearance. The sneaker's distinctive metallic silver tongue is enhanced with 3M reflective material, ensuring it catches the light and eyes in any crowd. Additional classic details include clear netting on the tongue and sides and the black laces and TPU eyestays that uphold the original specs. The design is sharply contrasted by metallic silver shark teeth accents on the black midsole, inspired by World War II fighter planes that Tinker Hatfield incorporated into the initial design of the AJ5 for an added edge. Completing the look is the durable black and icy blue rubber outsole.
The Air Jordan 5 Retro OG Black Metallic will release in Spring 2025 through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. This release will come in full-family sizes, with pricing set at $210 for men, $160 for grade school sizes, $90 for preschool, and $75 for toddlers.
