ORIGINAL STORY:
Jordan Brand is pulling out some classic retro styles over the next year, celebrating major milestones for their iconic sneakers. In 2026, the Air Jordan 5 “Sunset” is rumored to make a return, marking the colorway’s twentieth anniversary.
The mid-2000s marked a turning point for Air Jordan releases, solidifying retro culture as a force in sneakers. Models like the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue,” 4 “Mars Blackmon,” and 11 “DMP” helped reintroduce classic silhouettes to a new generation, bridging nostalgia and performance. These drops cemented Jordan Brand’s dominance beyond the court, inspiring collectors and fueling resale markets. Modern-day retros pay homage to that era’s influence by refining materials, restoring original shapes, and rekindling the emotional connection that made mid-2000s releases a defining moment in sneaker history.
This week, rumors of another 2000s era classic have emerged, speculating about a Fall 2026 release. The pair in question is the 2006 Air Jordan 5 “Sunset”, a simple style originally released as a women’s exclusive colorway. The look pits the iconic silhouette in a crisp white upper, sporting the essential silver metallic tongue panel. The midsole adds a flash of Sunset orange for the AJ5’s signature teeth along with a red outsole, and using more Fire Red for the inner lining and heel Jumpman branding. The final touch is an orange Jumpman logo on the tongue, and a matching toggle lace lock.
