Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Red Suede'

Bold. Premium. Unapologetic.

The Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Red Suede' takes one of the most iconic silhouettes in Jordan Brand history and dresses it in a premium, head-turning red suede construction that demands attention from every angle. Varsity red suede covers the AJ5's shark-tooth midsole and aggressive profile in a colorway that's as confident as the man who inspired the shoe.

The AJ5: Built for a Champion

Designed by Tinker Hatfield and inspired by World War II fighter planes, the Air Jordan 5 debuted in 1990 with a translucent outsole, a lace lock system, and a shark-tooth midsole that gave it an aggressive, aerodynamic presence unlike any basketball shoe before it. MJ averaged 33.6 points per game in the AJ5 during the 1989-90 season. The Red Suede colorway honors that ferocity with a premium material upgrade that makes the AJ5's iconic design elements pop in a whole new way.

How to Style It

Red suede on the AJ5 is a statement that needs no explanation. Let it command the fit with an all-black or all-white outfit, pair it with red and black tones for a bold tonal look, or contrast it with cream and off-white for a rich, premium feel. The Red Suede AJ5 is the kind of shoe that makes every outfit feel like it was planned around it — even when it wasn't.

Fighter plane DNA. Red suede finish. Full send.
