The Air Jordan 5 “Aqua” Recalls Chris Paul’s Earliest Player Exclusives

Apr 10, 2025 1690 0

Utilizing the proven formula of transferring an OG colorway to another model, the Air Jordan 5 “Aqua” bridges the game between the 1990 model and its 1992/1993 successor.

While aqua tones are not unfamiliar with the Air Jordan 5 (it played a pivotal role in the original “Grape” colorway), it now comes packaged with a bright university gold yellow to subtly nod to the Air Jordan 8 “Aqua”. It is indeed missing hints of purple and red to fully grasp that name. In fact, the upcoming Aqua 5s are more akin to early-era Chris Paul Player Exclusives that Jordan Brand graced him with during his years with the New Orleans Hornets.

It will be coming to Yepsneaker soon after its October 21st release. Stay tuned to Yepkicks.
