For its 20th anniversary, Jordan Brand is bringing back the Air Jordan 5 “Sunset”, which first dropped as a women’s exclusive in 2006. Much like the first time around, this retro sports a mostly white foundation, highlighted by the orange and red touches that earned it the “Sunset” moniker.

White leather makes up the upper, with translucent netting woven into the side panels and under the laces. The reflective silver tongue preserves the iconic Air Jordan 5 aesthetic. A pop of vivid red on the Jumpman logo and interior lining really makes the neutral design stand out.

The jagged, shark-tooth pattern on the midsole is primarily orange, then shifts to Fire Red on the lower part and outsole. The heel’s embroidered Jumpman also features red, with darker trim around the eyelets offering a touch of contrast near the collar.

The “Sunset” colorway emerged during a time when Jordan Brand felt more at ease experimenting beyond the iconic Chicago Bulls palette. A few retros from the mid-2000s leaned brighter and more lifestyle-driven, especially within the women’s lineup. While this model didn’t make quite the same splash as the major Air Jordan 5s of that time, its reissue provides sneakerheads a new chance to grab a colorway that’s been absent for two decades.

Based on the early looks, Jordan Brand appears to have kept this design largely the same. You’ll probably notice some slight differences in the proportions and materials compared to the 2006 production, as most modern retros do, though the color arrangement and overall impression are still clearly recognizable.
