First designed by Tinker Hatfield in 1990, the Air Jordan 5 has been making a comeback for a few years now. Designed in the likeness of Michael Jordan, these sneakers have an almost “fierce” style, and for good reason; Through the duo's aesthetic, Hatfield wanted to honor Michael's liveliness by drawing inspiration from a fighter plane used during World War II: the P-51 Mustang. And as on the latter, we find on the front of the sneaker the front of the sneaker is decorated with shark teeth, a detail which was used to illustrate the formidable power of the player on the b-ball field. Thanks to its sporty and functional structure, the silhouette was favored by Michael Jordan, who scored notable victories with the pair. And while the AJ5 was only available in 3 colors, Nike has diversified over time and now offers new models in original colors.
