If you're looking for a striking-looking trainer with top-class credentials, the Jordan 5 Retro Reverse Metallic is right up there. It's an almost surrealistic take on the traditional high-top basketball shoe, with ultra-modern contours and high-tech accents.
This is a fascinating update on the Air Jordan 5. It has an ice white upper punctuated with black panels on the sole and collar. The leather upper has a synthetic mesh cut-out panel for breathability. The collar has a high front, crested by a long tongue, and an ultra-low back. The midsole has jagged white highlighting that creates a dramatic effect.
Our experts are very taken by this design. It's aggressive but also very familiar at the same time. It screams aggressive hoop action and makes one want to get out and play. The transparent air capsule in the heel adds the perfect high-performance touch. The Jordan 5 Retro Reverse Metallic was released on 7 December 2024, priced at $200 retail.
