It may not be quite the silver anniversary for Jordan Brand‘s Wings scholarship program, but one of the most beloved Air Jordans is nonetheless getting a new silver look to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
The Air Jordan 5 “Wings” is taken over by metallic silver suede for its high sheen look. Portions of the midsole take on a glittery silver presence, while a number of details are added throughout to commemorate a decade of Wings.
Across the two toe tips, “In This Family, No One Flies Alone” is embroidered in cursive, and the No. 10 replaces the 23 in its usual place on the lateral heel. At the center of the heel and on the insole, you’ll find “Wings” beneath the Jumpman logo, and the name appears again upside down for the inner tongue tag. Each pair will also come with a silver graduation tassel and a metal badge hosting the No. 10, the Jumpman and the program’s name. Visible beneath the translucent portion of the outsole is a handprint.
Founded by Jordan Brand in 2015, Wings provides scholarships and other opportunities to underserved youth. Each year, it announces a new class of scholars, and its programming also includes a Design Program and Beyond Basketball initiative.
Although celebrations for it haven’t been overt like the Air Jordan 1’s 40th anniversary and Nike Air Max 95’s 30th anniversary, the Air Jordan 5 has hit its 35th anniversary this year. The Tinker Hatfield-designed sneaker launched in 1990 and is up there with the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 11 as one of the most heralded of all the models in Michael Jordan’s signature series.
Just last month, the original “Grape” colorway made its first return in 2012 years. The 35th anniversary will then get a call-out with a special edition featuring pink accents debuting in the fall, and the original “Fire Red” colorway will return in September.
The Air Jordan 5 “Wings” doesn’t yet have a firm release date but is expected to release in the coming months through the Snkrs app and select third-party retailers. Pricing is set at $215.
