Air Jordan 5 Retro Low “Royal Blue” release info

The new Air Jordan V Retro Low “Deep Blue Royal” pays homage to one of MJ’s fiercest enemies. The rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks in the late 80s and early 90s is sth. hard to compare. The Knicks had a strong team with legends like Patrick Ewing and John Starks. But however close they came to winning a title there were always the Bulls who stood in their path in the Eastern Conference. It always seemed that Jordan had this extra bit of motivation when visiting the Madison Square Garden. He dealt the Knicks some devastating blows. But no matter how fierce the games were fought, the rivalry was always marked by mutual respect. This is why Jordan Brand continues to honor the New York Knicks with colorways that remind us of the blue, white and orange colors of the Knickerbockers.

The new Air Jordan V Retro Low comes with a “Deep Royal Blue” nubuck upper, a white midsole as well as orange accents on the “shark teeth”, the inside of the tongue and logo details. If also offers the signature characteristics that sneakerheads have come to love about the AJ 5: reflective 3M tongue and a clear icy outsole.
