One of the most iconic sneakers in the expansive Air Jordan line is rumored for a reissue in 2025 as part of Jordan Brand’s ongoing Reimagined series. This time around, it’s the Air Jordan 5 “Black/Metallic” that is said to be receiving a few tweaks that will separate it from its original build.
First released in February 1990 (at a then-retail price of $125), the Air Jordan 5 “Black/Metallic” was one of just four original colorways that hit the market. Since its 1990 debut, the “Black/Metallic” sneaker has been rereleased on four occasions: in 2000, 2007, 2011, and 2016. There was even a low-top golf version in 2020. Whether by way of material selection or embroidery details, each pair has been a little different, and early leaks indicate the 2025 version will follow suit.
According to sneaker insider @zsneakerheadz, the Air Jordan 5 “Black/Metallic” Reimagined will come packaged with white laces instead of the usual black (Jordan himself often wore them with white laces, as seen in the image above) along with another change that will see the sneaker’s reflective silver extend to the piping throughout the upper. In-hand images of the 2025 pair aren’t yet available, but a speculative mock-up was provided of what it could end up looking like.

Jordan’s fifth signature sneaker was designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield and took inspiration from an American World War II fighter plane—a nod to the namesake player’s aggressive on-court style. This was seen in the form of shark tooth-esque lines on the midsole, a detail that especially stands out on the “Black/Metallic” style. It’s also worth mentioning that Jordan tallied his career-high in scoring with 69 points in another, white-based colorway of the model.
The Air Jordan 5 “Black/Metallic” Reimagined is currently expected to release in February 2025 for a retail price of $220, but it’s possible this could change.
