Jordan Brand is bringing back a true fan favourite with the Air Jordan 5 ‘White Metallic’. Originally released in 2000, this colourway is one of the most iconic AJ5 releases ever – and is finally getting an update in 2026 that draws heavily on the OG.

The design remains classic: a high-quality white leather upper meets transparent mesh panels and a reflective tongue in metallic silver. Black details on the lining and branding provide contrast, whilst the signature “Shark Tooth” midsole with silver flames completes the look. The whole thing is rounded off by an icy, slightly transparent outsole.

The highlight for many collectors is the return of the Nike Air branding on the heel, which replaces the Jumpman of earlier retro releases and brings the trainer closer to the original. The “23” embroidery has also been redesigned and now looks significantly more vintage-inspired.

The shape is also more closely based on the OG models, giving the shoe a more authentic overall look. This release is clearly aimed at purists, yet remains a strong lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear.

For anyone wanting to stay on top of such OG retro releases, it’s worth checking Grailify regularly – there you’ll find all the info on releases, restocks and available sizes.
