Release Reminder: Don't Miss the Air Jordan 5 Retro "Anthracite"!

We have no doubts that many of you are busy signing up to upcoming sneaker release raffles. So just in case you forgot, the Air Jordan 5 Retro "Anthracite" is launching on the 6th February via the Nike SNKRS app and select retailers globally!

Michael Jordan's fifth signature basketball sneaker is undeniably one of the most fan-favoured Jordan silhouettes ever released. It was designed by Tinker Hatfield all the way back in 1990 after being inspired by the legendary basketball player's biting on-court style, further accentuated with shark-tooth graphics on the midsole that drew inspiration from WWII fighter jets.

Official images of this latest iteration flaunt a beautiful mix of tightly-woven mesh and supple suede fabric coated in stealthy dark colorways of black and grey. Generally, the Air Jordan V displays reflective material on the upper tongue. However, it features on the tongue's lower part and netted quarter panels instead on this pair. Of course, you can't talk about Jordan 5s without mentioning the plastic lace locks, MJ's famed Jumpman logo on the tongue, signature jersey number "23" on the rear panels and a full-length midsole concealed with a visible Air unit beneath the heel for optimal cushioning on and off the basketball hard floor.

Dropping this Thursday 6th February at 8am over at Nike UK and select retailers, the Nike Air Jordan 5 Retro Anthracite is a pair that highly deserves to be in your collection. So make sure you keep it locked at The Sole Supplier for your best chance to cop, and in related news, the Air Jordan 5 "Stealth" from 2006 is making a comeback!
