Air Jordans 5 Retro SP – Sail” – 9243FA44

The  Air Jordans 5 “Sail” is the follow-up to Virgil Abloh’s initial Jordans 5 collaboration from early 2020. Images of the “Sail” colorway surfaced around the same time  Jordans Brand released the black-based Jordans 5 in February 2020. Like the black version, this design features Abloh’s singular deconstructed aesthetic. The upper displays exposed foam, mesh detailing, and a transparent film with die-cut circles placed randomly on the body and tongue in reference to the Jordans 2010. Jordans 5 “Sail” is signature industrial inspired styling is applied throughout, including the Helvetica text on the laces and medial side. Both the embroidered Jumpman on the silver reflective tongue and “23” branding on the heel are finished off in Fire Red as a call back to the original styling of Michael Jordans’s “Player Exclusive” version. Additional nostalgic elements like the “ Air” on the heel and pre-yellowed outsole give the shoe a vintage look. Release date: October 24, 2020.
