Air Jordan 5 "White Metallic" Returns Summer 2026 With Nike Air Branding

Although the Air Jordan 5 celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2025, the momentum continues into the new year. Jordan Brand is now set to bring back the fan-favorite Air Jordan 5 "White Metallic" colorway with an added twist.

According to Romania’s Sneaker Market, the release last seen in 2015, is confirmed to return in Summer 2026. This time, however, the pair will feature Nike Air branding at the heel, aligning it more closely with the silhouette’s original 1990 roots.

Initially released in April 2015, the “White Metallic” edition of Tinker Hatfield’s classic brought together clean white uppers, reflective tongues, and a crisp black-and-silver accent package, including icy outsoles. The upcoming retro is expected to stay true to this formula while swapping out Jumpman branding for OG-styled Nike Air hits at the heel.

While no official imagery or early looks have surfaced, the expectation is that the release will remain faithful to its previous run, serving as a clean and versatile take on the AJ5’s legacy.

Expect the Air Jordan 5 “White Metallic” to release in full-family sizing during Summer 2026. More details and official photos should arrive in the coming months.

In more pressing Jumpman news, the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 returns in August.
