As sneaker enthusiasts impatiently await the release of the Supreme x Air Jordan 5s, both brands have finally released photos of the highly coveted sneakers. These cool kicks are headed for an expected release in October 2015 while a few close-up photographs are to hold fans over until its official release date.
The Supreme x Air Jordan 5 sneakers are a collaboration between the iconic skate brand and the notorious Michael Jordan brand. Japanese footwear magazine SHOES MAGAZINE nearly broke the Internet when the sneaker-friendly online publication dropped photos of the already famous sneakers.
The Supreme x Air Jordan 5s are offered in a black, white and camouflage colorway with a modified keychain, Supreme branding on the laterals and a "94" embroidered for Supreme’s inaugural year.
