Jordan Brand is dialing up the nostalgia in Fall 2026 with the long-anticipated return of the Air Jordan 5 “Sunset” — a bright women’s exclusive from 2006 that’s marking its 20th Anniversary. The colorway was part of a mid-2000s wave that helped define the Air Jordan retro era for female sneakerheads, and now it’s finally coming back.

The 2026 version stays true to the original formula. It arrives dressed in a crisp White, Sunset, Fire Red, and Black palette that captures the same energy fans remember. Smooth white leather dominates the upper, paired with translucent mesh panels and reflective 3M tongues topped with a Sunset-orange Jumpman. The red is used on the inner lining, heel branding, and outsole while an orange flame is splattered across the midsole that not only provides the shoe its warming affect but also its namesake. That combination of clean design and bold color blocking makes it one of the more underrated AJ5s from its era.

The Air Jordan 5 “Sunset” is noteworthy because of its unique aesthetic, but also what it symbolizes. The retro was part of a period in which Jordan Brand became more cognizant of its releases in women’s sneakers. That connection to the past makes this Air Jordan feel especially substantial in the present.

Air Jordan 5 Sunset 2026 Release Date

Expect the Air Jordan 5 “Sunset” to release in Fall 2026 in women’s sizing for $215 USD through select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.
