Jordan loves an anniversary. After breaking out plenty of retros and limited collabs to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Jordan line in 2025, Jumpman is using the 20th anniversary of some mid-2000s colorways as a perfect opportunity for retros, adding the Jordan 4 Tour Yellow and now the Jordan 5 Black University Blue to the 2026 catalog.
The Air Jordan 5 Retro Black University Blue is all black with white contrast stitching popping across the entire upper. The 3M reflective silver tongue adds a splash of shine, while Carolina blue hits the sock liner and back of the tongue to match the icy blue outsole. The side panel support netting is done in clear for a break from the blacked-out panels.
The Air Jordan 5 Retro Black University Blue will be released Fall 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).
