The Air Jordan V “Elephant” has popped back up in 2013, marking the first time that we’ve seen a full view of the sneaker this year. You’ll recall that the pair is on schedule for a retail release before the year’s end, a release supposedly surrounded by some more sneakers in some sort of a pack set up. The Air Jordan V has been a pretty true-to-OG affair in 2013, so we’d say it’s about time for a brand new combo that can satisfy those aside from the staunch purists among you. Continue reading to get a better look at the Air Jordan V “Elephant” and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updates as a full gallery is likely to arrive soon.

Is a huge celebration in the works for the Air Jordan V? Some excitement has been stirring since we saw the Air Jordan V “Melo” some time ago, and with last year’s Air Jordan V “Elephant” resurfacing after it first revealed itself in 2012, we could be in for some incredible releases later on. Of course, these are just samples at this point and could be a PE for Carmelo alone, but the Elephant Print sample, which was originally rumored to be the Doernbecher release in 2012, might be due up for a Fall 2013 release based on our last report. In any case, a release of either pair would be much celebrated, so let us know which of the two you like better and stay tuned to Sneaker News for all your Air Jordan release info and updates.

And the saga continues. The past 24 hours have been a whirlwind of news surrounding this spicy Air Jordan V design. When word first broke it was mistakenly pegged as this year’s Doernbecher Freestyle release, a word we corrected once official info came down that it was instead a model in the works for the second half of 2013. And after that we were pretty sure the model would be firmly tucked away until the calender flipped but nope, here we have it-the first real shots of the Air Jordan V with the all over elephant print coating. As you can see, the sneaks go the extra mile with a groundbreaking elephant print extending all the way to the icy soles. Hit the jump with to check the pair out and stay tuned for more on the Air Jordan V ‘Elephant Print’. Photos: CK

In the wee hours of the morning Sneaker News gave you a look at a visual rendering of an upcoming Air Jordan V release thought to be this year’s Air Jordan Doernbecher. While the Air Jordan V was thought to be the likely to be the model of choice for the November release of the Doernbecher Freestyle IX, it’s been noted by theclosetcollector, who posted the Air Jordan V rendering and info, that the upcoming 2012 Doernbecher release looks to instead be the Air Jordan IX. Putting our attention back on this particular Air Jordan V, this tonal elephant print version is slated to be a Retro release for the second half of 2013 and features rampant use of the Air Jordan III-specific material on the upper, and in a rather creative move, on the outsole of the shoe. Light blue hints on the upper has also been noted on this 2013 Retro release. In any case, we’ll keep you updated on any developments regarding this Air Jordan V ‘Elephant Print’ as well as the potential Air Jordan IX Doernbecher release.
