The Air Jordan 5 “Sunset” is Finally Returning for its 20th Anniversary

Sneaker history buffs, mark your calendars: the long-awaited return of the Air Jordan 5 “Sunset” is officially slated for Fall 2026.

It’s been two decades since this woman’s exclusive first hit the shelves in 2006. At the time, it was a massive standout for its bold departure from the traditional "Fire Red" color blocking, swapping aggressive reds for the bright, citrus-soaked energy of the mid-2000s.

Faithful to 2006

According to the latest information from zSnekaerheadz, Jordan Brand is playing it safe and staying faithful to the OG. You can expect that same buttery white leather upper, paired with the iconic translucent side netting that defines the AJ5.

The real magic, though, is in the details:

• The "Sunset" Gradient: The midsole "shark teeth" return with that signature orange-to-yellow fade.
• Pop of Color: Vibrant orange hits the Jumpman logos, lace locks, and the inner lining.

Release Details

The Air Jordan 5 “Sunset” is currently expected to launch on July 1, 2026, with a retail price of $215. While we wait for official imagery from the brand, you can check out the 2006 pair below (shoutout to FloSize8 for the on-foot look) to see exactly what’s coming back.
