The Air Jordan 5 Retro “Wolf Grey” Returns in 2026

The Air Jordan 5 has never been subtle — and that’s exactly why it’s stayed iconic for more than three decades. First hitting the court in 1990, the silhouette introduced a bold, aggressive look inspired by fighter jets and built for MJ’s high-flying game. Now, the Air Jordan 5 Retro is back in its fan-favorite “Wolf Grey” form for the first time since 2011.

This new 2026 version features an upper wrapped in smooth grey tones that highlight the AJ5’s unmistakable design lines without overpowering them. Signature elements like the sculpted midsole, lace toggle system, and padded collar remain untouched, keeping the shoe rooted in its original blueprint. The result is a pair that feels authentic to the past while fitting seamlessly into today’s rotation.

What makes the AJ5 special isn’t just performance history — it’s cultural weight. From hardwood dominance to streetwear staple, it’s one of those silhouettes that instantly signals that you’re in the know. The “Wolf Grey” colorway plays perfectly into that reputation, offering a versatile look that works year-round while still carrying that unmistakable Jordan presence.

Will you be looking to grab a pair? The Air Jordan 5 Retro “Wolf Grey” will be available on Saturday, February 28th, in-store and online at DTLR.com in full-family sizing.
