You can’t talk about the Fresh Prince without talking about his Jordans. He was fresh, he was fly, and he definitely had a way of creating a look of his own with his footwear. Wearing Air Jordan icons during his on-screen come up, Will Smith’s youthful style helped further cement the Air Jordan line’s place in pop culture. Now in 2018, his own unique touch on the original Air Jordan 5 becomes a footwear reality.
Jordan Brand will be celebrating Will Smith’s 50th birthday with a special edition Air Jordan 5 NRG “Fresh Prince” release.
Similar to the Air Jordan 5 Retro “Grape”, the Fresh Prince pair is dressed in a White, Grape Ice, Black, and New Emerald color scheme. It includes “West Philadelphia” embossed on the tongue, Nike Air branding on the heels, no laces (sealed lace holes) – as a nod to the way Will Smith wore them. And inside, the sockliner goes full Fresh Prince with a striped graphic that is reminiscent of yet another vibrant t-shirt in his wardrobe.
Look out for the Air Jordan 5 NRG “Fresh Prince” to release on Tuesday, 25 September 2018 (Will Smith birthday) online via nike.com, for the retail price of R 2,899.95.
