The Air Jordan 5 OG “Grape” is So Back

2025 is a very big year for Jordan Brand. Not only does it mark the label’s 40th anniversary, it’s also the 35th birthday of the Air Jordan 5. And to celebrate, the legendary Air Jordan 5 “Grape” is making a triumphant comeback. First released in 1990, this return will please sneakerheads both old and new.

The white leather upper is clean and crisp, paired with hits of “Grape Ice” and “New Emerald” across the tongue, midsole, and lace lock. A black midsole stripe cuts through the colour pops, while the translucent outsole keeps things grounded in that classic Jordan look. For longtime fans, the return of the “Nike Air” heel branding is a welcome throwback, finally giving this edition true retro status.

This colourway has always held weight – whether it was on MJ’s feet in a Wheaties shoot or worn laceless by Will Smith on The Fresh Prince. Over the years, it’s inspired several spins, including the “Black Grape” and “Alternate Grape,” but this is the one that started it all.

Complete with original-style packaging, the pair isn’t just another reissue. It’s a piece of sneaker history, faithfully brought back for those who missed it – and those who never forgot it. Dropping on June 21st, let us know if you’ll be adding the Air Jordan 5 OG “Grape” to your rotation, and be sure to keep it locked for your best chance to secure your size!
