Air Jordan 5 Retro Grape Expected for June 2025 Reissue

The iconic Air Jordan 5 Retro Grape sneaker, originally released in 1990 and made famous by Will Smith's character in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is set to be reissued on June 21, 2025, marking its first release with official Nike Air branding. The sneaker features a white leather upper with vibrant Grape Ice purple and New Emerald green accents, staying true to the original design including the white laces and translucent outsole. This release will be available in full family sizing, with adult pairs retailing for around $210, reflecting a slight price increase consistent with Nike's recent hikes. The Air Jordan 5 Grape stands out as one of the few Jordan colorways not tied to the Chicago Bulls’ red, black, and white, instead paying homage to the Charlotte Hornets. Previous reissues occurred in 2006, 2013, and a special laceless 2018 version referencing Smith's style on the show. The sneaker remains popular among collectors and fans, with anticipated high demand upon release on Nike's SNKRS app and select retailers.
