A Peek at the Jordan 5 Retro PE x Michigan Blue 2017

The Air Jordan 5's design was inspired by American World War II fighter planes, and is visible through the shark-tooth shaped design on the sneaker's midsole. Other creative elements of the Air Jordan 5 include a translucent icy outsole, adjustable lace lock, visible Nike Air unit, molded-ankle collar and reflective tongue. The first variations of the sneaker came in leather and nubuck. "Nike Air" branding was featured on the back of the shoe's original run, while later retros displayed a Jumpman logo.

History and Timeline of the Air Jordan 5

The Air Jordan 5 is Michael Jordan's fifth signature sneaker under the Nike brand. This model was first released in 1990 and designed by Tinker Hatfield, who also created shoes in the company's archive such as the Nike Air Max, Air Trainer and Mag. Hatfield is also credited with designing every signature sneaker Michael Jordan played in during his professional career in the NBA since the Air Jordan 3.

The Air Jordan 5 was originally released in four colorways:

  • Black-black/metallic silver
  • White-grape/emerald
  • White-fire red/black
  • Black/fire red with Jordan's number 23 stitched on the heel (a player exclusive for the NBA star that never got released in the '90s)

Jordan 5 Retro PE x Michigan Blue 2017

March 2017 saw 250 pairs of Jordan 5 retro Michigan sneakers make their way to the Wolverines football team, in addition to a pair that was released for Pope Francis. The exclusive Jordan 5 retro Michigan PE kicks feature navy blue uppers and maize accents. Brilliant yellow adorns the "M" on the lateral side near the heel and the shark teeth appear on the midsole. The same maize color is on the upper tongue complete with navy blue trim and a Jumpman. You can visualize the air cushion system through a slot at the rear of the midsole. A translucent flap divides the jagged design on the midsole from the light blue rubber toward the sneaker's bottom treads.
