A Look Back: The History of the Air Jordan 5 “Grape”
Jordan Brand is celebrating its 40th Anniversary in 2025, and one of the most iconic sneakers making a comeback is the Air Jordan 5 “Grape”. Originally released in 1990, this eye-catching white, purple, and aqua colorway became a pop culture legend, thanks in part to Will Smith’s role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Over the years, the “Grape” 5 has seen a few retro versions:
- 2006: First retro release with Jumpman logo.
- 2013: Another retro, still without Nike Air branding.
- 2018: Laceless tribute to Will Smith with Nike Air, but not an official retro.
Now in 2025, fans finally get the real deal: a Retro Air Jordan 5 “Grape” with the original Nike Air heel branding.
Grape-Inspired Colorways
Due to the success of the OG Grape, Jordan Brand also released:
- Black Grape: Features a black upper with the same purple/aqua midsole.
- Alternate Grape: A bold version with a rich purple upper.
All variations stay true to the Grape’s signature purple/aqua aesthetic.
