"Grape" Jordan 5s Return: A Fresh Prince Classic Makes Its Comeback

Jordan Brand is bringing back the heat for 2025, and the iconic "Grape" Air Jordan 5 is leading the charge. First hitting streets in 1990 and famously rocked by Will Smith in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," these purple and teal classics are set to return April 19, 2025, for $210.

Unlike previous rereleases that left sneakerheads wanting more - think the bulky 2012 toe-box and the 2006's paint-cracking issues - this 2025 version promises to stay true to the original's beloved silhouette. It's part of Jordan Brand's power move for 2025, dropping alongside other grails like the Black Cat 4s and Air Jordan 1 "Bred."

The "Grape" 5s marked a bold departure from the traditional Bulls colorways, helping transform Air Jordans from pure basketball shoes into cultural icons. Now, after various reincarnations (including a laceless Fresh Prince tribute in 2018), they're back to reclaim their throne in what's shaping up to be Jordan Brand's biggest year yet.
