You’re not supposed to wear white until after Memorial Day, but for us, the official launch of white clothing season will come as soon as this pair drops, no matter how close it is to the holiday. Dropping for the first time in over 10 years, the clean Jordan 5 colorway is already set to be one of our summer favorites.

The Air Jordan 5 White Metallic first debuted at the turn of the millennium in the year 2000, bringing the AJ 5 back to prominence with the Retro+ label given to those early era retros. The 2015 retro kept the OG 23 embroidery on the lateral heel, but this time around, the pair will get Nike Air branding on the heel panel for the first time.

Featuring an upper covered in premium white leather, the tongue adds a classic Jordan 5 reflective silver accent up top, while the 23 is embroidered at the heel in white with black backing thread. The Nike Air on the heel is black, and the outsole adds a classic icy blue color to bring it all together.

The Air Jordan 5 Retro OG White Metallic will release April 25, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in full-family sizing, the retail prices are set at $215 (men), $160 (GS), $100 (PS), and $85 (TD). For all the latest Jordan retro news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
