Jordan 5 Retro Halloween

Jordan 5 Retro "Halloween" — Black/Picante Red/Glow In The Dark (HQ7978-001)

The Air Jordan 5 Retro "Halloween" is a landmark release for the silhouette — marking the first adult Halloween colorway ever produced for the AJ5. Released October 17, 2026, the pair leans into Tinker Hatfield's 1990 fighter-jet-inspired design without resorting to overt costume graphics, instead letting material and light do the seasonal storytelling.

Premium black nubuck covers the entire upper, with tonal mesh side netting, laces, and eyelets keeping the build blacked-out throughout. Picante Red shark teeth cut across the midsole stabilizer with black speckle detailing, and XXIII stitching in red appears on the inner tongue lining as a subtle collector nod. After dark, green glow-in-the-dark embroidery activates on the tongue Jumpman logos, the lateral heel "23" hit, and the Nike Air heel branding — while a translucent rubber outsole carries the same luminous treatment underfoot. The result is a colorway with strong everyday versatility that reveals its full Halloween identity only when the lights go out.

Nike Air cushioning in the heel and forefoot, a foam midsole, and a grippy rubber outsole round out the build, keeping the original 1990 construction specs intact.
