'Orange Blaze' Air Jordan 5s Are Releasing Next Month

By

Thus far, the "Shattered Backboard" theme has been mostly reserved for the Air Jordan 1, but that could be changing soon.

According to leak accounts Soleheatonfeet, Mr_unloved1s, DJ Folk and Coley2xs, the popular colorway is coming to the Air Jordan 5 in Fall 2021. Early images of the shoe have yet to surface, but a mock-up rendering from zSneakerheadz suggests that this particular iteration will be slightly different from prior Jordan 5 releases, as the netting on the side will also be featured on the collar. Elsewhere, the shoe wears a predominantly white color scheme that's paired with orange accents on the sock liner and midsole.

Jordan Brand debuted the "Shattered Backboard" Air Jordan 1 in 2015 as a nod to Michael Jordan's backboard-shattering dunk during a 1985 Nike exhibition game in Italy along with the orange jersey he was wearing.

UPDATE (09/11): Official images of the “Shattered Backboard” Air Jordan 5 Retro, which is now expected to release on Oct. 2 for $190.

UPDATE (09/18): Nike has updated its SNKRS release calendar, confirming that the Shattered Backboard-esque  “Orange Blaze’ Air Jordan 5 is officially releasing on Oct. 2.
