TLDR: To celebrate Chinese New Year 2025, Jordan Brand is releasing the Air Jordan 5 ‘Year of the Snake’ on 23 January for €200. The model combines a light bone/sail nubuck leather upper with snakeskin details, iridescent shark teeth on the midsole panel and a transparent rubber outsole. A black snakeskin hang tag completes the design. To mark the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 5, Jordan Brand is presenting a Lunar New Year edition that elegantly incorporates the symbolism of the Year of the Snake. The light nubuck leather in Light Bone is complemented by tonal overlays in Sail, while the iconic shark teeth in the midsole shimmer in Barely Green. A black snake skin-look hang tag reinforces the thematic reference.
The clear rubber outsole provides a clean finish and subtle colour highlights, such as a peach-coloured lace lock, add accents. Even the packaging picks up on the iridescent details, making the shoe interesting as a collector's item.
