Long before winning the acclaimed Best Actor Oscar in 2022, Will Smith learned his craft as the protagonist in arguably the greatest sitcom ever, “The Prince of Bel-Air.”
The larger-than-life character was not a character at all; it was Will playing his youthful self, and part of that included pairing bold, colorful outfits with Jordan Retros, which was (and still is) in vogue at the time. Though he wore several Air Jordan silhouettes during his six-season tenure, it was the Air Jordan 5 that gained the most traction — thanks in part to the series’ initial promotional photography and first season, where Will was rocking the silhouette in question.
This led to the future creation of several Air Jordan 5 colorways inspired by the show, some of which featured a laceless design that tribute how Will wore the pairs.
Now, NTWK App will bring back that aesthetic to commemorate the Season 2 premiere of “Bel-Air,” a spin-off of the original show.
The OG “Black Metallic” colorway has been reimagined in a limited quantity, with only one of the supposed three pairs being raffled off by NTWRK and Peacock.
Check out a closer look at this extremely rare, never-before-released Air Jordan 5 Bel-Air (Black Metallic) below, and if you want to try to secure a pair, they will be raffled off through the NTWRK app on Thursday, March 2nd, starting at 7 PM ET.
