Jordan Brand Brings Back the Air Jordan 5 "White Metallic" With OG Details

Name: Air Jordan 5 “White Metallic”

SKU: HQ7978-103
MSRP: $215 USD
Release Date: April 25, 2026
Where to Buy: Nike

Jordan Brand is set to re-release the Air Jordan 5 “White Metallic,” a colorway that first gained acclaim during its original launch in 2000. Returning for the third time in high-top form, this 2026 iteration marks a significant shift toward OG accuracy by replacing the Jumpman heel logo found on the 2015 retro with traditional Nike Air branding. The sneaker is scheduled to arrive in full family sizing, blending a clean heritage palette with updated technical specifications.

The 2026 Air Jordan 5 “White Metallic” adheres to its roots with a premium white leather upper and signature translucent netting on the side panels. The design is anchored by a reflective Metallic Silver tongue and black accents on the inner lining and Jumpman tongue logo. A key refinement in this release is the side “23” embroidery, which utilizes a more vintage-inspired font to better align with the silhouette’s 1990 design language.

Down below, the black midsole features the iconic shark-tooth flame detailing in Metallic Silver, sitting atop a modernized icy blue translucent outsole. This release serves as a direct follow-up to previous high-top retros from 2000 and 2015, specifically targeting collectors through its focus on original branding. Official imagery has confirmed that the premium leather and reflective materials will remain consistent with the model’s performance-meets-lifestyle legacy.

The Air Jordan 5 “White Metallic” drops on April 25, 2026 online at Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers.
