Air Jordan 5 ‘White/Metallic Silver’

An Air Jordan 5 colorway first introduced in 2015 received its debut reissue in April 2026, bringing back a design that referenced one of the model’s original black colorways in a white-based presentation. The AJ5’s fighter jet inspirations and reflective tongue have made it one of the most visually dramatic silhouettes in the Air Jordan catalog.

White tumbled leather with metallic silver accents throughout and the model’s signature lace locks and visible Air unit made for a clean, premium presentation. The AJ5 rewards this kind of material-focused colorway approach more than almost any other Jordan silhouette.

The Air Jordan 5 White/Metallic Silver retailed at $215 and released April 25, 2026 through Nike SNKRS and Jordan Brand retailers for its first reissue since the original 2015 launch.
