The uppers are reinforced with [GORE-TEX material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-2002r) and come dipped in a solid black color, while “GORE-TEX” and “23” branding decorates the lateral heels of the pair. An embroidered [Jumpman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sail-and-metallic-gold) logo sits on the heel, and it is also repeated on the 3M tongue unit. The sneakers rely on a translucent midfoot window for added flair and rest atop a black midsole and translucent gum outsole. The Air Jordan 5 GORE-TEX ‘Off-Noir’ is expected to launch in women’s sizing in December via Nike.
