This September edition of the Air Jordan 5, a spotlight of Mexican culture in every way, notably lands in close proximity to Mexican Independence Day on September 16th. In the earliest stages of its release cycle, the shoe was tied to the story of Father Miguel Hidalgo, “expressing the pride in Mexican diversity through mysticism, culture and traditions.”
Though that influence is clear, the colors of the Mexican flag are applied in more tonal fashion on the Air Jordan 5 “El Grito,” with a deep umber on the outsole and pine green midsole teeth comprising those national shades. The palette here is the most obvious embrace, but Jordan brand certainly didn’t skimp on the details with this colorway. Embossed Aztec-inspired designs crop up towards the toe-box and on the heel counter, while the sockliner is coated in a checkered burgundy pattern.
Finally, these in-hand images give us a look at the special edition packaging. The box’s trim reinforces the shoe’s graphics and displays a dusty, historical “Air Jordan logo” on its face, while the interior rounds out the storytelling aspect with another dose of orange, white & green.
