Also the Air Jordan shoes V was the first time anyone had ever molded foam into a shoe upper.
Hatfield is rumored to have drawn inspiration for the Air Jordan shoes V from the World War II Mustang fighter plane; easily seen in the shark teeth shapes on the midsole. The V was retroed in 2000 to great demand, including a new colorway featuring Michael Jordan’s high school (Laney High) colors. It is also schedules for several 2006 re-retros.
