Past Meets Present: Air Jordan 5 “Medium Soft Pink”

The Air Jordan 5 has always been a statement sneaker. First introduced in 1990 and designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, the silhouette embodied Michael Jordan’s fierce, attack-first style of play. Now, 35 years later, the Air Jordan 5 returns in a striking new “Medium Soft Pink” look.

This release pays tribute to the model’s heritage while pushing it into the spotlight with a bold twist. The entire upper comes dressed in a reflective finish, honoring the AJ5’s history as the first Air Jordan to bring reflective materials into the game. Signature design elements like the jagged midsole teeth, bump-out collar, and stitched number 23 on the heel remain intact.

The colorway is where things truly pop. A crisp white and black base sets the stage, while “Medium Soft Pink” and “Metallic Silver” accents bring fresh energy to this classic silhouette. Visible Nike Air cushioning keeps every step comfortable, and an icy translucent outsole capped with the Jumpman logo seals the deal.

From its reflective shine to its modern-yet-heritage-driven details, the Air Jordan 5 Retro “Medium Soft Pink” is built for sneakerheads who want to stand out while paying respect to MJ’s legacy.

Will you be looking to add a pair to your collection? The Air Jordan 5 Retro “Medium Soft Pink” will be available on Saturday, October 11th, in-store and online at DTLR.com in full-family sizing.
