The classic Air Jordan 5 “Grape” is officially coming back this summer! After months of waiting, Nike has now shared the official images, and the release date is set for June 21 on Nike SNKRS and at select stores. The retail price is $210 USD.
This colorway first came out in 1990 and became popular not only because of Michael Jordan, but also because Will Smith wore it in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. With its clean white leather, bold Grape Ice purple, and fresh New Emerald teal accents, the sneaker became a cultural icon.
The 2025 version stays true to the original, featuring the OG Nike Air branding on the heel, something sneaker collectors always look for. This marks the fourth time the “Grape” colorway is being re-released. It was previously retroed in 2006 and 2013, and in 2018, a special “Fresh Prince” version came out to honor Will Smith’s 50th birthday — that pair had no laces, just like how he wore them on the show.
Jordan Brand is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 5 this year, and the return of the “Grape” is a perfect way to honor the legacy. This drop will also be one of the most accurate re-releases, keeping the original shape and style.
If you’ve been waiting to grab a pair of this legendary sneaker, June 21 is your day. Make sure to be ready — these are expected to sell out quickly!
