Air Jordan 5 Retro “Grape” Set for Summer 2025 Return
The Air Jordan 5 “Grape,” one of the most legendary colorways in Jordan Brand’s legacy, is making a highly anticipated comeback in 2025. This iconic silhouette, beloved for its unique color scheme and deep ties to both basketball and pop culture, will officially release on June 21, 2025, in full family sizing through Nike’s SNKRS app and select Jordan Brand retailers, with a retail price of $215 for adults (style code HQ7978-100) and additional sizes for kids and toddlers.
Celebrating 35 Years of the Air Jordan 5
Jordan Brand is marking 40 years of excellence in 2025, and the Air Jordan 5 is celebrating its own milestone—35 years since its original debut. The “Grape” colorway stands out because it breaks from the Chicago Bulls-inspired red, black, and white palette that defined most early Air Jordans. Instead, this model offers a vibrant mix of white, Grape Ice purple, and New Emerald green, which instantly resonated with fans and cemented the “Grape” as a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts.
Originally released in 1990, the Air Jordan 5 “Grape” quickly transcended performance basketball to become a cultural staple. The sneaker rose to pop-culture prominence in part due to Will Smith’s character on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” who famously wore the shoes without laces—so much so that a special laceless “Fresh Prince” edition was launched in 2018, referencing his unique style. The original “Grape” received retro releases in 2006 and again in 2013, but the sneaker community has long awaited a true-to-original version, especially after the 2018 tribute stirred mixed opinions because of its bold, laceless look.

A Closer Look at the 2025 Retro
The upcoming 2025 edition (HQ7978-100) remains faithful to its OG roots, sporting the familiar white leather upper with standout hits of Grape Ice and New Emerald. The black midsole and translucent outsole finish the look, preserving the elements fans have cherished for decades. Official product images released in May 2025 showcase the sneaker’s premium materials and construction, emphasizing the details that make this release essential for both new and longtime collectors.
