Jordan 5 Retro Reverse Metallic (GS)

Air Jordan 5 Retro "Reverse Metallic" (GS) – 440888-110

The Air Jordan 5 Retro "Reverse Metallic" is a 2024 Grade School release that draws direct design inspiration from the legendary "Black Metallic" colorway — one of the four original Air Jordan 5 colorways from 1990 — but flips the palette entirely. Where the OG featured a dark nubuck base, the "Reverse Metallic" builds on a smooth white and sail leather upper, making it a clean inversion of that iconic look. The shoe dropped on December 7, 2024, via Nike SNKRS and select retailers in full family sizing.

Tinker Hatfield's original Air Jordan 5 silhouette — inspired by WWII fighter planes — remains intact: the signature bump-out collar, shark-tooth midsole detailing, and translucent outsole are all present. The "Reverse Metallic" adds black to the Jumpman logos on the tongue and heel, the midsole speckle, and the liner, while a greyed-out tongue retains the model's hallmark 3M reflective material. Milky mesh at the midfoot adds a subtle vintage texture to the otherwise crisp build.
