Here’s another look at the upcoming White/Midnight Navy-Varsity Red Air Jordan V Retro. As one of the few Air Jordan V models to use the color blue, these shoul do really well in stores. These pics are from Kicks Crew, who seem to have already sold out online. No official release date yet.

Air Jordan 5 (V) Retro
Color: White/Midnight Navy-Varsity Red
Style: 136027-103
Every year, Jordan Brand sponsors the Quai 54, a huge basketball tournament held in France. By now, you guys probably know, whenever Jordan Brand sponsors a tournament, it usually means special Jordan releases. So far, we’ve seen special releases of the Air Jordan 1, the Air Jordan IX, and the Jordan Elements. This year, they’ve decided to go with one of our most beloved models, the Air Jordan V. It has a white upper, with translucent green eyelets, a black and silver midsole, and green outsole. The Quai 54 logo replaces the usual “23”.

Here’s a couple of official images of the “Tokyo 23” pack, which will include Air Jordan V and Jordan CP3.IV. While the Tokyo 23 basketball tournament will be held May 28-29, we still have no official release date for this pack yet.
Here’s a better pic of the upcoming Jordan Tokyo23 Pack, planned as a promotion for the opening of Jordan Brand’s Tokyo-based store, “Jordan Tokyo23.” The Tokyo23 Pack is a collaborative effort between Jordan Brand and Nitro Microphone Underground member XBS. As, you can see, both pairs have a yellow/grey/black color scheme, with a hint of white. There’s not much info yet, but next month Jordan Brand will launch the store’s official web site at jordantokyo23.com.
It looks like Jordan Brand is making big moves this year. Take a look at these Air Jordan V and Jordan CP3 IV colorways, which may possibly be released at Jordan Brand’s rumored Tokyo23 shop in Japan. While this might mean we won’t be getting them in the U.S., they will definitely be available at the online shops. Let’s hope Jordan Brand decides to go through with the expansion. I’ll certainly keep you guys posted as more info becomes available.
In addition to the “Away” colorway that I just posted, a “home” pair of Air Jordan Vs were made for Jared Jeffries as well. This pair has a similar theme, except they have a primarily white upper instead of the black one seen on the away version.

Check out this pair of Air Jordan V Retro, made for Jared Jeffries to wear along with New York Knicks’ away jersey. This pair has a black upper, with blue “shark teeth” on the side and a blue sockliner. Also, Jeffries’ number, “20”, has been embroidered on the side, in place of the more commonly seen “23.”
