Detailed Look: Air Jordan 5 "Wings" (Medium Grey)

As the Air Jordan 5 celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2025, the iconic silhouette is set to make a meaningful return to Jordan Brand's esteemed Wings program.

Known for blending artistry and purpose, the Wings initiative is a key part of Michael Jordan’s mission to support youth education. This latest effort, slated for Fall 2025, continues the legacy with a sleek and sophisticated design.

Unlike the vibrant and student-illustrated Wings edition from 2018, the 2025 Air Jordan 5 Wings takes on a more subdued palette. Officially listed in Medium Grey, Black, and Metallic Silver, the colorway exudes a refined elegance while leaving room for the unique branding and details that have become hallmarks of the Wings series. Though specific design cues remain under wraps, speculative imagery hints at a contemporary take on the silhouette.

The Wings program holds deep significance, honoring educators' positive role in Michael Jordan’s formative years. Jordan Brand provides scholarships through this initiative to help young people access quality education.

Recently, Instagram user @fkzsnkrs provided a clear, on-foot look at the Air Jordan 5 Wings. The pair maintains its speculated shimmering "Medium Grey" upper, but features a number of special embroidered elements at the lateral heel and tip-of-the-toe. A commemorative hangtag and other non-standard touches appear on the semi-translucent outsole.
