The Air Jordan 5 took its inspiration from World War II fighter planes, specifically the Mustang. You can clearly see this influence in the jagged, shark-tooth-like design on the midsole. The AJ5 also introduced several new features, including a reflective 3M tongue, a translucent outsole, and lace locks, making it both stylish and practical. Michael Jordan wore the AJ5 during his incredible 1989-90 season, where he averaged a career-high 33.6 points per game. The "Grape," "Fire Red," and "Metallic Silver" colorways are particularly iconic, and the shoe's aggressive yet sleek design has made it a favorite among collectors and fans.
