Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo”<\/p>\n
Jordan was spotted wearing the Air Jordan 5 in the “Varsity Maize and Wolf Grey” or “Tokyo” colorway, as it is known in the sneaker community.<\/p>\n
The Air Jordan 5 is Jordan’s fifth signature sneaker, which was first launched in 1990. The “Tokyo” colorway was not released until 2011 to celebrate the opening of Tokyo23. However, it is coming back as part of a retro release this weekend.<\/p>\n
The silhouette sports a Varsity Maize nubuck upper, complemented by hits of Wolf Grey. Black and White neutrals add a level of contrast. Meanwhile, the embroidered kanji on the heel is a nod to the long-lasting ties between Jordan Brand and Japan.<\/p>\n
