The Air Jordan 5 Acknowledges Its Aviation Inspiration

UPDATE: Release day for the camo Air Jordan 5 isn't far off, so we thought we'd take one last opportunity to wet your whistle and get you in the mood for some 'Dark Stucco' suede. If you're not already sitting in a camp chair outside of your local Jay slinger, head to Foot Patrol on September 2 and try your luck.

It’s common knowledge that the Air Jordan 5’s design draws from fighter planes, but few make-ups embrace it as openly as this release. After appearing in an earlier release that came with matching apparel, this Jay is preparing to take flight again with a militant ‘Dark Stucco’ over plush suede. Camo accents at the heel compound its wartime aesthetic, while flashes of red on the midsole and collar show that they’re ready for battle.

The Air Jordan 5 Dark Stucco will be available on September 2 from Nike SNKRS.
