Nodding to MJ’s alma mater, the fan-favourite Air Jordan 5 “Black University Blue” is back for its 20th anniversary. This popular non-OG colourway debuted in 2006 as part of the LS (Lifestyle Series) collection, which focused on a casual wear perspective rather than basketball performance. Returning for the first time, the AJ5 “Black University Blue” is a sneaker that longtime Air Jordan collectors surely won’t miss out on.
This fresh colourway features a matte black nubuck base with University Blue accents on the inner lining and semi-translucent herringbone outsole. The contrast stitching highlights the silhouette’s bulky construction, while the signature shark teeth on the lateral forefoot pay homage to American World War II fighter planes. The trademark Jumpman adorns the rear, sockliner, and silver 3M reflective tongue. A clear lace lock and padded collar provide a secure fit, while the plastic netting on the quarter delivers breathability. The visible Air unit in the heel offers adequate cushioning and shock absorption, making this silhouette ideal for sports and everyday wear.
