Editor’s Notes: This year has been a big one for the Air Jordan 5. While many are eagerly awaiting the release of Virgil Abloh's "Sail" Off-White™ pair, Nike is continuing the 30th anniversary celebration of the silhouette by giving it the "What The" treatment.

The "What The" Air Jordan 5 blends all your favorite colorways, including the “Tokyo,” “Shanghai,” “Raging Bull,” “Bel-Air,” “Laser,” “Green Bean,” “Army Olive,” and “Quai 54.” At first glance, you'll notice the sneaker features a red and yellow mismatch design, with numerous elements taken from the aforementioned eight Air Jordan 5 colorways.

Nike has yet to confirm release details for the new "What The" drop — although official images have surfaced — but reports are suggesting a launch will take place on November 7. As always, however, check back here for confirmation.
