Jordan Brand’s 40th anniversary is in full swing, and we’re here for it all. And among the amazing lineup of hot drops, we have one that’s coming all the way from 1990… with a twist. The upcoming Jordan 5 Black Metallic will join the “Reimagined” gang in a subtle way. So, if you’re feeling a bit nostalgic, these kicks are exactly what you need. But of course, make sure you don’t miss out on the return of the great, the Jordan 1 Bred, aka Banned! Now, let’s get into today’s kicks, shall we?
Jordan 5 Black Metallic – Successfully Reimagined in 2025
The year is 1990, and the All-Start weekend is taking place in Miami, Florida! The Eastern Conference team was loaded with big names: Michael Jordan, Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, and Patrick Ewing. Of course, the Western Conference included stars like Magic Johnson, Akeem Olajuwon, and John Stockton. However, team East killed the game and won 130 to 113.
And naturally, on February 11, 1990, all eyes were on what MJ had on his feet. Well, the Jordan 5 Black Metallic certainly lived up to the excitement! The kicks featured a black nubuck upper, metallic silver shark teeth on the midsole and tongue, as well as cool mesh side panels. And finally, the red Jumpman on the tongue completed the look. Of course, these babies became an immediate success among fans! So, to celebrate 35 years of this colorway, the Jordan 5 Black Metallic is coming back with a little twist.
Release Info
The upcoming Jordan 5 Black Metallic Reimagined will feature all the OG details with little tweaks. For example, the kicks will come with white laces, the way MJ wore them. Moreover, the edges of the nubuck will come in white, giving the kicks a little edge over the OG design. Now, we can expect these babies to hit retailers on February 8, 2025, for $210, almost exactly 35 years since the OG release. Now, the kicks are currently worth about $300 in resale, which is decent profit!
Of course, while you can make profit off of them, you don’t wanna pay resale for them. Here is the store list where the Jordan 5 Black Metallic Reimagined will drop. But of course, if you wanna score them for retail, you’ll need some help. And just the way they couldn’t ban Js in 1984, NSB3 is here to help you dodge those Ls! So, what are you waiting for? Go on and get your copy today to catch all the celebratory Js coming your way. Godspeed!
