Description
Take Flight Like Mike In his ’89-’90 season, MJ reached amazing performance heights in his fifth signature sneak, the AJ V. That career high point is revisited in the Air Jordan V Retro, with the look and feel of the shoe he wore when he destroyed his own personal-best stats. The sneaker was designed with World War II fighter planes in mind, reflecting the superstar’s soaring victories in air battles on the court. Today, that winning attitude dominates on the street. Ready for Flight, Ready to Fight Designer Tinker Hatfield gave the high-top shoe a distinct, menacing air with shark-tooth graphic at the midsole, translucent outsole, lace locks, and reflective tongue. Many will say that, at the height of his career, nobody could touch MJ, but you can capture a chunk of his style and vibe with this iconic sneaker. Leather-and-nubuck upper ensures long wear. Mesh quarter panels and molded ankle collar add comfort. Encapsulated forefoot Air-Sole unit and Visible Air-Sole heel unit absorb impact. Solid and clear rubber outsole with flex grooves and herringbone pattern provide traction.
