The Air Jordan 5 “Grape” is set to make a highly anticipated return in April 2025. This iconic sneaker, originally released in 1990, is one of the most beloved colorways in the Air Jordan lineup. Its unique blend of colors and design has made it a standout choice for sneaker enthusiasts over the years.
The “Grape” Jordan 5 was an unconventional choice for its time, as most Air Jordans featured a strict palette of black, red, and white. The “Grape” introduced a fresh aqua-blue tone. This quickly earned it the “Grape” nickname despite the official color spec being “Grape Ice.” This sneaker was first re-released in 2006 and again in 2013, each time capturing the hearts of Jordan fans.
The 2025 release will stay true to the original color blocking and material specifications. The shoe will feature a combination of White, New Emerald, Grape Ice, and Black, with Nike Air branding on the heel. This attention to detail ensures that the retro release will be as close to the original as possible, maintaining its classic appeal. The design includes a white leather upper, complemented by New Emerald and Grape Ice accents. The iconic translucent outsole and reflective tongue remain, adding to the sneaker’s distinctive look.
Jordan Brand is celebrating its 35th anniversary next year with several iconic releases. The return of the “Grape” colorway is a significant part of this celebration, highlighting the enduring legacy of the Air Jordan 5. Fans can look forward to a year filled with nostalgic and new interpretations of this classic sneaker.
