Originally released in 1990, the Air Jordan 5 dropped in four colorways during its initial run. It was inspired by a World War 2 Mustang fighter jet and featured a reflective 3M tongue, mesh netting on the tongue and side panels as well as a unique set of lace locks. They were retroed for the first time in 2000 and were the first Air Jordan Retro of the new millennium. In the years since, we've seen over 40 retro releases, including colorways both new and old, mash-ups, and more recently, low tops. Take a look at the history of the Air Jordan 5 colorways from the first release all the way up to today's launch below.
