Air Jordan 5 Retro – White/Black

Speed. Aggression. The AJ5 in Its Purest Form.

The Air Jordan 5 landed in 1990 and changed the game overnight. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and inspired by WWII fighter jets, the AJ5 brought a raw, aerodynamic energy to basketball footwear that no silhouette had matched before. The White/Black colorway strips everything back to essentials — clean white against sharp black details, a combination as precise and purposeful as the shoe itself. This is the AJ5 at maximum impact, minimum noise.

Fighter Jet Engineering. Street-Ready Execution.

• White leather and mesh upper — clean, structured, and built to hold its shape through every wear
• Black shark-tooth midsole — the AJ5's most iconic design detail, inspired by the aggressive nose art of WWII aircraft
• Black lace toggle (lace lock) — the functional fastening system that gives the AJ5 its distinct, military-utility edge
• 3M reflective tongue — the stealth detail that catches light in the dark and signals to those who know
• Visible Air-Sole unit in the heel — responsive cushioning with the original Jordan comfort heritage
• Black translucent outsole with herringbone traction — multi-directional grip that completes the white/black palette from the ground up
• Padded collar and ankle support — premium fit and lockdown for all-day wear

The Clean That Hits Hardest.

White and black on the AJ5 isn't just a colorway — it's a weapon. The shark teeth bite harder in monochrome. The reflective tongue hits sharper against white leather. Every detail lands with more impact when there's nothing to distract from the design. The AJ5 White/Black is for the collector who understands that the most powerful statement is often the simplest one.

Fit & Sizing

True to size. Available in US and EU sizing. Clean white leather panels with a damp cloth after each wear. Use a soft brush on the midsole shark teeth to remove dirt from the grooves. Store in original box with shoe trees to maintain shape.
