Another Air Jordan 5 is on the horizon.

When the Air Jordan 5 came out in 1990, it earned itself quite a bit of pop culture acclaim. For example, Will Smith wore the silhouette on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. The shoe became an instant classic, with Smith leading the charge to showcase some of the OG colorways. Overall, the Jordan 5 has become a fan-favorite, especially for those who have nostalgia for the 90s. Ever since the shoe's 30th anniversary in 2020, it has been steadily garnering new offerings. Although some might find this tiresome, it appears as though fans are constantly wanting more.

Throughout 2023, shoes from the early 90s are going to be very popular. The Air Jordan 5, 6, 7, and 8 are all expected to get some retros and new colorways. Moreover, these colorways are beginning to get teased on social media. The Instagram sneaker insiders are getting some exclusive information, and it has led to a lot of hype. As it pertains to the Jordan 5, there is no shortage of teasers on the interwebs.

"Georgetown" Air Jordan 5

Subsequently, we now have an Air Jordan 5 rendering from the likes of sneakerfiles.com and @zsneakerheadz. This new offering is called "Georgetown," which is a school that has gotten plenty of representation from Jordan Brand over the years. Firstly, this shoe is going to be covered in a gorgeous shade of navy blue suede. Secondly, the tongue has a silver 3M look to it with an obsidian Jumpman logo in the middle. Lastly, the midsole is mostly black, although the shark teeth are silver with black specks. When you put all of these elements together, you get a shoe that does a great job of pulling off the Georgetown aesthetic.

Overall, this is definitely a shoe that will appeal to fans of the school. However, disregarding the Georgetown connection, this is still a great sneaker. For now, it is expected to drop during the Holiday season of this year. Let us know what you think of it, down in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sneaker world. We will always come through with the latest information on the most popular silhouettes.
