The Air Jordan 5, is a classic and iconic sneaker in the Air Jordan line, designed by Tinker Hatfield. Released in 1990, the AJ5 brought several innovative features and design elements to the world of basketball sneakers. One of the most distinctive features of the AJ5 is the reflective 3M material on the tongue. This design element adds visibility in low-light conditions and gives the shoe a unique look. The Air Jordan 5 features a midsole with sculpted, shark teeth-like accents, which is a defining design feature. This midsole design adds to the shoe's visual appeal and sets it apart from other sneakers. The AJ5 incorporates Nike's Air-Sole cushioning technology in both the heel and forefoot for enhanced comfort and impact protection. The shoe has plastic lace locks near the bottom of the laces, which help to keep the laces in place and provide a secure fit. The outsole of the AJ5 often features a translucent or clear rubber material, revealing the iconic Jumpman logo in the center.
