Released in 1990, the Air Jordan 5 was designed by Tinker Hatfield, who drew inspiration from World War II-era fighter jets. The shoe originally released in 4 colorways, but has undergone many transformations in the past 24 years, now carrying no fewer than 33 different looks.

But there have been more. In fact, the current Air Jordan 5 run could nearly be doubled if the following unreleased samples were put into production. Read on for a look at 25 Air Jordan 5s that were left on the cutting room floor.
