Celebrating 35 Years of the Air Jordan 5 with the Return of the Grape ColorwayIn 2025, the Air Jordan 5 celebrates its 35th anniversary, and Jordan Brand is planning a special release to mark the occasion. Early reports suggest that the iconic Air Jordan 5 “Grape” will make a comeback. This colorway was one of the original four released in 1990 and quickly became a pop culture sensation.
