The Air Jordan 7 “Raptors” was as 90s a sneaker release as any. The shoe ditched traditional Chicago Bulls colorways to welcome the latest expansion franchise to the NBA in an unofficial way – but the combination of black, purple, and red throughout was undoubtedly an homage to the Canadian team if there ever was one. We haven’t seen the retro since 2012, but now Jordan Brand is hinting at the iconic colorway with this upcoming girl’s exclusive Air Jordan 5 Raptors slated to release this September.
The Air Jordan 5 Raptors is enough to make those in adult sizes jealous. A black upper matches the tongue while a vibrant purple lining and midsole work perfectly with Bright Crimson accents on the Jumpman branding and Mustang fighter jet inspired speckled shark teeth. A traditional semi-translucent mesh ventilation system hits the side panel and tongue as to not complicate things. What do you think of the Air Jordan 5 Raptors?
