The Air Jordan 5 Low “Class of 2021” is a special makeup of Michael Jordan’s fifth signature shoe that celebrates the 2021 graduating class of Jordan Brand’s Wings Scholarship Program. Intentionally minimal in design, the “Class of 2021” mimics a cap-and-gown outfit with a predominantly black color scheme. The upper is dressed in all black with a nylon textile base at the toe and heel and nubuck overlays through the midfoot. The gold embroidered “20” and “21” logos found on the lateral sides of the left and right shoe, respectively, are in reference to the 2021 graduating class. A gold Jumpman can be found on the black neoprene tongue and a black Jumpman on the heel. The slogans “Class of ‘21” and “Jordan Wings” appear in gold text on the underside of the tongues on the left and right shoe, respectively. Metallic gold “shark tooth” detailing contrasts the black painted midsole. A mini tassel is added to the shoelace of the right shoe to further the graduation theme. An icy blue translucent outsole with a feather graphic visible underneath completes the look. Release date: May 14, 2021.
