Jordan Brand teams up with Hong Kong-based lifestyle brand CLOT again for an eastern-inspired take on the Air Jordan 5. This Air Jordan 5 Retro SP x CLOT “Jade” boasts the green-coloured stone as a symbol of wealth and luck. We’re hoping it brings enough luck for the rest of the pairs we’re copping throughout 2022! A little bit of Solar Red Air Yeezy 2 vibes on this one too.
Just like the symbolism of this colourway, CLOT collabs with Nike and Jordan Brand have been abundant. This new release follows the Nike Dunk High Flux “CLOT” from March. Glow in the dark Jade hues on the outsole headline the all-black upper on these heaters.
The Air Jordan 5 is one of the most unique Air Jordan Retros designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield. Inspired by World War II Mustang fighter jets, the J5’s most notable feature is the shark teeth design; as well as the thick reflective tongue.
Leather makes up the upper of the Air Jordan 5 on most colourways. The plastic netting on the sides returns in a similar fashion as its predecessor.
A Nike Air unit hides in the forefoot, with a visible bag on the heel section.
Herringbone traction completes the decoupled outsole.
This Air Jordan 5 Retro SP x CLOT “Jade” features an all-black canvas base with Jade accents on the mesh netting and lace loops. The lace-lock resembles the Jade stone which is believed to cause luck and great wealth in Eastern culture. Red pigments make up the Jumpman on the tongue, laces, and interior lining.
Lines on the rear refer to the number 23, Michael Jordan’s immortalised jersey number.
Jumpman and CLOT logos adorn the heel panels on the left and right pairs, respectively.
The Jade outsole has a glow in the dark feature just like the plastic netting on the sides.
Keep an eye out for this release in May 2022 on Nike.
