The Jordan 5 Retro Grape 2025 edition revives a colorway that helped redefine sneaker culture far beyond the hardwood. Originally launched in 1990, the "grape ice" and "new emerald" palette broke the mold, a bold move at the time for a Jordan model. What set it apart wasn’t what happened on the court, but what happened on screen and in the streets. Think Will Smith rocking them lace-free in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and MJ flashing them on a Wheaties box. That energy is back, this time with the OG Nike Air heel branding and shape to match.
This version of the "Grapes" get it right. Clean white leather uppers, the classic tongue, and icy translucent soles return, now crafted with more attention to the original than we’ve seen in decades. Tinker Hatfield’s fighter jet–inspired details are sharper than ever, and the silhouette has been fine-tuned to mirror the 1990 blueprint. Whether you’re a longtime collector or just building your rotation, this pair hits the perfect balance of nostalgia and current heat.
