While Jordan Brand focuses heavily on the 40th Anniversary of the Jordan 1, which sparked the beginning of the multi-billion dollar empire, 2025 is also the 30th birthday of another iconic silhouette in the lineup — the Air Jordan 5. Outside of OG renditions, like the Black Metallic Reimagined, Grape, and Fire Red Black Tongue, new takes on the sneaker are expected to hit shelves throughout the year. Alongside Awake NY’s two-pack of AJ 5s, the Jordan 5 will get a new inline Medium Soft Pink colorway.
The sneaker takes on a primarily white color palette across its leather and TPU upper. Pops of medium soft pink find a home on the Jumpman logo, sockliner, and lace lock, while the tongue features a metallic silver 3M finish. A hidden 3M finish is applied to the entire upper, though the tongue still shines the brightest
Back on the heel tab, we see Nike Air text in the contrasting medium soft pink hue, while the lateral heel features the 23. Just like the upcoming Fire Red Black Tongue retro, this pair's embroidered jersey number is done as close to the original from 1990 as possible. The black foam midsole finishes the design with medium soft pink details on the shark teeth and a black and clear rubber outsole.
The Air Jordan 5 Retro OG Medium Soft Pink will release October 11, 2025 through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. Available in full-family sizing, the retail price is $210 for men’s pairs. Kids pairs will retail for $160 (GS), $100 (PS), and $85 (TD).
