What makes this colorway so compelling is its restraint: the University Blue is not loud here. A premium black nubuck upper dominates the entire silhouette — dark, dense, and deliberately understated — with the UNC blue appearing only as contrast stitching along the overlay panel edges, a detail so precise it rewards close inspection rather than demanding attention from across the room. The color story deepens as the shoe is explored: University Blue floods the inner sock liner, hits the embroidered Jumpman logo on the heel, and traces the midsole shark-tooth detailing — the AJ5's most iconic structural element — in a blue accent that ties every zone of the shoe together from the inside out.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEvery signature Air Jordan 5 hardware detail is present and faithful to the original: a 3M reflective silver tongue catches light with the kind of understated flash that elevates an all-black shoe without disrupting it, translucent mesh quarter-panel netting adds the silhouette's signature structural transparency, and clear lace locks run the length of the upper with the same OG hardware spec. A visible Air cushioning unit in the midsole grounds the build in Tinker Hatfield's 1990 performance DNA, and an icy University Blue-tinted translucent outsole closes the entire build with the one moment where the color fully takes over — a payoff that lands hardest when the shoe is lifted off the ground. OG-style packaging completes the retro experience, giving longtime collectors the full presentation they remember from the original run.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eCategory: \u003c\/b\u003eFootwear | Sneakers\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAge Group:\u003c\/b\u003e Kids\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGender: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePS | Little Kids\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Air Jordan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Jordan | Tinker Hatfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel: \u003c\/b\u003eAir Jordan 5 Retro (PS)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNickname: \u003c\/b\u003e\"Black \/ UNC University Blue\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColorway: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack \/ University Blue - White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMain Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e440889-008\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e Jun 20, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason: \u003c\/b\u003eSpring | Summer | Fall | Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShaft Height:\u003c\/b\u003e Mid Top\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eClosure: \u003c\/b\u003eLace Up | Lace Locks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eActivity: \u003c\/b\u003eBasketball | Gym \u0026amp; Training | Walking | Casual\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Air Jordan","offers":[{"title":"10.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403228774518,"sku":"440889-008-105","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403228807286,"sku":"440889-008-11","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403228840054,"sku":"440889-008-115","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403228872822,"sku":"440889-008-12","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403228905590,"sku":"440889-008-125","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403228938358,"sku":"440889-008-13","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403228971126,"sku":"440889-008-135","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403229003894,"sku":"440889-008-1","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403229036662,"sku":"440889-008-15","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403229069430,"sku":"440889-008-2","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403229102198,"sku":"440889-008-25","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403228741750,"sku":"440889-008-3","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5459\/3142\/files\/PRE-ORDER-PS-Air-Jordan-5-Retro-Black-UNC-University-Blue-2026-Sneakers-in-Black-440889-008-FOOT-NINJAS-1.png?v=1778732066","url":"https:\/\/footninjas.com\/products\/ps-air-jordan-5-retro-black-unc-university-blue-2026","provider":"FOOT NINJAS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
