Air Jordan 5 Retro OG 'Grape' (2025)

The Grape. The OG. The One Everybody Wanted.

The Air Jordan 5 Retro OG 'Grape' (2025) is the return of one of the most beloved colorways in Jordan Brand history — and it's back in OG construction, built as close to the original as possible. White, grape, black, and new orchid — a color combination so specific and so perfectly balanced that it has never stopped being referenced as one of the AJ5's defining looks. This is the one collectors have been waiting for.

Style number HQ7978-100.

The Grape AJ5 Legacy

The 'Grape' Air Jordan 5 originally released in 1990 as part of the AJ5's debut lineup alongside the 'Black Metallic' and 'White Cement.' From the beginning, the 'Grape' was the colorway that stood apart — the purple and white combination with black accents gave the AJ5 a look that felt both athletic and distinctly unique to Jordan Brand. It became one of the most sought-after AJ5 colorways in sneaker culture, consistently commanding premium prices on the secondary market between retros. The 2025 OG return gives collectors and newcomers alike the chance to own the real thing without the vintage markup.

What You're Getting

• Upper: White leather with Grape purple overlays, black accents, and new orchid details — the original 1990 'Grape' color story in OG construction
• Tongue: Reflective 3M tongue in the signature AJ5 format — the detail that defined the silhouette in 1990 and remains its most iconic feature
• Midsole: Shark-tooth midsole in complementary tones — Hatfield's fighter jet aesthetic at its most expressive
• Cushioning: Visible Nike Air unit in the heel for responsive, all-day comfort from the 1990 original
• OG Designation: Built to original 1990 specifications — the most authentic 'Grape' AJ5 experience available at retail
• Style Code: HQ7978-100

Why the 2025 OG Is the Definitive 'Grape'

OG retros are built with a level of material and construction fidelity that standard retros don't match. Every element of the 'Grape' — the leather quality, the purple tones, the reflective tongue — is evaluated against the 1990 original. The result is the closest thing to a deadstock 'Grape' AJ5 that money can buy at retail. If you've been watching 'Grape' pairs trade at secondary market prices for years, this is your moment. When this colorway drops, serious collectors and casual buyers alike show up in force.

OG retros of the 'Grape' AJ5 do not happen often — and they do not sit when they do. Secure your size in the 2025 OG before popular sizes are gone.
