SoleSavy Presents: How The Air Jordan 5 Signaled a New Mike Had Arrived

Friends of WearTesters, SoleSavy – the anti-resell, exclusive sneaker community – have just released a feature article chronicling the importance of the Air Jordan 5 in celebration of AJ5 OG ‘Fire Red’ dropping later this week.

Written by Ian Stonebrook (formerly of Complex and Jordan Brand) the piece covers just how the Air Jordan 5 ended up becoming a cultural staple both on and off the court for the decades that followed its release. Featuring Tinker’s early sketches and historical analysis of “The Shot”, the article from SoleSavy is a great primer for all things AJ 5. Enjoy!
