Air Jordan 5

    The original Air Jordan 5 (V) was released in February 1990,being designed again by Hatfield. Some elements were the same from the Air Jordan IV, but the distinctive feature of Air Jordan V are the reflective tongue and the clear rubber soles. The soles gave the shoe a new and unique look, but it will be yellowed over time when exposed to moisture. To combat this problem, collectors always stored the shoes in a cool, dry place with a desiccant at the soles, most commonly silica packs.
    The Air Jordan V also featured a base top with lace locks, making strapping on the shoe easy. The Air Jordan V model is considered to have the best structure and design to wear during basketball games and sold the most pairs of shoes from the Air Jordan line.
    The Air Jordan 5 was retroed in 2000 to great demand, including a new colorway featuring Michael Jordan's high school colors. In 2006 several re-retro V is had released. Along with the latter, a very limited laser design and the black/metallic/fire red colorways were released in early 2007.
