Nike Air Jordan 5

The Nike Air Jordan 5 was designed by Tinker Hatfield, the prestigious designer of the American firm at the time, and who had already been present in previous designs. On this occasion to give rise to this silhouette was inspired by the aircraft of the Second World War, exactly in the American model Mustang P-51. It was mainly in the part of the midsole where he made changes for this model, they were quite successful for the new aesthetic touch that they offered to the shoes in which the colors and the translucent effect stood out.

The Nike Air Jordan 5 appeared in 1990.

The release date of these Sneakers was established in February 1990, where the player Michael Jordan had a great season. His numbers included 69 points in the game against Cleveland and an increase in three-point shots throughout the season. That new aggressive instinct of the player is what he wanted to represent in the new model, so he added another of the most significant details of this silhouette, its serrated shape similar to shark teeth in the midsole.

Nike did not take long to unveil this fifth edition of the prestigious line of Jordan sneakers. A collection that increased exponentially every year, once again becoming one of the best-selling sneakers of that same year.

The construction of this model is based on the Mid style characteristic of this type of classic basketball shoes that were the winners of the nineties. The upper is made of synthetic material with a very neat finish and magnificent support. In the lower area a midsole with Air Sole cushioning in the heel and Air Cupsole in the forefoot are the most outstanding details of a model that is already history in the American brand.
