The Air Jordan 5 ‘Sunset’ Is Returning in 2026: A True Golden Era Revival

The Air Jordan 5 ‘Sunset’ is officially set to make a comeback in 2026, nearly 20 years after its first release in 2006. Once a women’s exclusive, this colorway has become one of the most vibrant yet underrated AJ5s ever made. Now, it’s finally getting its moment to shine again, just as radiant as its name suggests.

While official images of the 2026 retro haven’t surfaced yet, all signs point to a faithful retro. Expect the same crisp white leather upper, translucent mesh panels, and signature midsole flames in blazing orange and red. A silver 3M tongue with a bright Jumpman adds reflective hits, catching the light to tie in that Sunset theme.

The OG “Sunset” DNA remains untouched, you’ve got Orange & red shark teeth — the highlight of the shoe then you’ve also got Fire Red accents on the lining and outsole.

The “Sunset” 5s are loud in the best way possible. Unlike the monochrome palettes dominating today’s retro drops, these use gradient flame, summer tones, and that distinct early-2000s Jordan energy to breath a bit of life into the current line-up.
