Rare Air – Air Jordan V (5) Retro “Red Tails” Samples

We’ve seen a number of Black History Month releases from Nike and Jordan in the past two years, but sometimes they don’t always make it past the drawing board. Here’s a look at a sample pair of “Red Tails” Air Jordan Vs, which gives tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen and the movie of the same name. Using what looks to be the same upper from the Wolf Grey 5s, red suede has been placed on the heel, with the letters “RT-A” embroidered. Judging from the other sneaker in the back, these may hav been part of a proposed pack. The Red Tails will most likely never get a production run, but this sample sold for $5000 at an auction.
