Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan 5 Sneaker Will Be Released in a New ‘Medium Soft Pink’ Style in 2025
Pink is returning to the Air Jordan 5 next year.
According to leakers @sneakerheadz and Sneaker Files, a new “Medium Soft Pink” Air Jordan 5 Retro is on the way for holiday ’25. In-hand images aren’t yet available, but a speculative mock-up image depicts the shoe in its classic white-based color blocking with pink and black filling in the accents, including the flame motif on the midsole and the shoe’s translucent outsole.
The “White/Medium Soft Pink/Black” colorway is expected to be released in men’s sizing, and not a women’s or grade school exclusive like many of the pink-accented Air Jordan 5s that have launched over the years.
Some of the more notable examples of pink appearing on the Air Jordan 5 include 2022’s “Girls That Hoop” Low and “WNBA” grade school exclusive, 2020’s “Pink Foam” grade school exclusive and 2017’s “Black/Deadly Pink” grade school exclusive. Further back, the color was memorably used on 2006’s “Stealth” Air Jordan 5 women’s exclusive.

Also in ’25, pink is expected to be featured as the main color on one of two Air Jordan 5 collaborations with Awake New York.
The Air Jordan 5, first released in 1990, was created by renowned footwear designer Tinker Hatfield. Four colorways were issued during its debut run including “Black/Metallic” “Grape” and two variations of “Fire Red” styles. All but one of those pairs are also reportedly set to be rereleased in ’25, which marks the 35th anniversary of the iconic sneaker.
The “Medium Soft Pink” Air Jordan 5 Retro has a full colorway of “White/Medium Soft Pink/Black” and a SKU of HQ7978-102. An exact release date and price point have not been determined, but the pair is expected to hit retail during the holiday season.
