The AJ5 debuted in 1990, with the 'Grape' colorway breaking away from traditional Jordan colors by combining smooth white leather with Grape Ice and New Emerald accents. Originally nodding to North Carolina's budding NBA team, it quickly became a cultural icon in '90s pop culture. Known for its bold stance, bump-out collar, and jagged midsole, this version features a streamlined collar and slightly slanted toe shape, while Nike Air branding reappears on the heel. With translucent netting, outsoles, and clear lace locks, this edition delivers an icy finish, complemented by special packaging that echoes the era's hoops nostalgia.
