The Air Jordan 5 Midnight Navy

The Air Jordan 5 is returning to Shoe Palace stores this November 10 in a “Midnight Navy’ colorway. Learn more about the anticipated release below.

Midnight Navy

A textile and suede combination puts together the Midnight Navy colorway of the 5. It has the traditional Jumpman branding at the tongue and heel. The midsole is mostly white and there is an eye catching icy translucent outsole. Black is present on the midfoot windows, eyestays, lining and on the Jumpman logos. The Black and Navy mix is something that is rare on a sneaker. The Midnight Navy 5 can be purchased at Shoe Palace and shoepalace.com on November 10. It is one of the most unique Jordan 5 shoes released in recent years.

The V

The great Tinker Hatfield designed the Jordan V. The sneaker is considered another classic on the resume of Tinker. You can make the argument that the V was the biggest departure for the line at that time. There are similarities that the Jordan 1-4 share. The V featured a much higher cut than the previous two Jordan models. A World War II plane reportedly inspired the design. The V was a huge stylistic departure for the series.

The Legacy of The Air Jordan V

By 1990 the Air Jordan line of sneakers were considered luxury basketball shoes. A status the brand still holds today in 2022. Every kid in America wanted a pair of the Jordan V sneakers. The V proved that the Jordan models were not losing momentum by 1990. The III and IV are two of the most beloved and memorable Air Jordan models. The V had a lot to live up to, and for the most part it lived up to the hype. The V might not be held in the same high regards as the III and IV, but it is still a widely popular addition to the franchise.
