NYK 5s rumored to release this year.

A New York Knicks themed Air Jordan 5 is in the works, and it's a lot different than the "Knicks" Air Jordan 5 Low that released in 2016.

Instead of a deep royal blue, nubuck upper, this upcoming Air Jordan 5 is built on a "sail" tumbled leather, accompanied by the familiar orange and blue hues on the shark teeth and "23" branding. Additionally, the mesh paneling of the Air Jordan 5 features a blue and orange geometric pattern which can also be seen on the inner lining.

As of now it's unclear if this pair will officially be billed as a "New York Knicks" Air Jordan 5, or if it will earn some other moniker, but the Knicks vibes are strong on this pair of kicks. 

No release information is available at the moment but you can check out the first image of the NYK-inspired 5s in the IG post below.
