The Air Jordan 5 “Grape” saw retro releases in 2006 and 2013 and a special “Grape Fresh Prince” edition in 2018, celebrating Will Smith’s Fresh Prince of Bel-Air character. As the 2018 release garnered mixed reactions due to its laceless design, purists have longed for a true-to-original retro that captures the essence of the 90s classic.

The Air Jordan 5 “Grape” is expected to release on April 19, 2025, via SNKRS and select retailers. However, it is unclear if the pair will arrive in true OG form or will have the Reimagined treatment like the 2025 Air Jordan 5 “Black Metallic” iteration.
