Jordan Brand continues to show love to the Air Jordan 5. Inspired by a World War 2 Mustang fighter jet and taking flight in 1990, the AJ5 has been at the center of rich storytelling and coveted collaborations. Jordan Brand has another AJ5 in the works that calls back to a familiar color.

The Air Jordan 5 “Racer Blue” sports a black suede upper with the “Racer Blue” hue on the shoe’s midsole, inner tongue, lace lock, and rear Jumpman logo. The AJ5’s signature shark teeth are also dressed in black. The latest iteration includes the famed reflective silver tongue as well. While the “Racer Blue” look has landed on the AJ1 Mid and AJ3 in years prior, this could be a sign that more is on the way. Though not as famous as the “Motorsport” iteration, the “Racer Blue” take is a respectable substitute.

The Air Jordan 5 “Racer Blue” releases on February 12 for $200 on SNKRS and select retailers. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.

Stay tuned to SoleSavy for more sneaker-related news from your favorite brands, including Jordan Brand.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
