The celebrity sneaker game can be a competitive space, and doubly so when it comes to the Jordan Brand friends and family. Even if your #1 spot goes to someone else, there’s no removing DJ Khaled from the equation. He can often bring the same enthusiasm to a big-box Saturday release as the collaborations, yet when something lands close to home, there’s a different tone in his voice. All of those things came together as SoleFly founders handed Khaled their upcoming Air Jordan 5.

Given his Miami roots, the link-up between the dot-connector and the Florida streetwear brand only makes sense. Beyond flexing the I’m On One producer’s cachet with the Jumpman, this does function as an official reveal, finally putting the brand’s stamp on what had been a run of early samples and leaks.

The retail version utilizes a dark grey suede upper with a black contrast sole and teal detailing. Though those aquatic notes align the shoe with the Southeastern locale, SoleFly takes extra steps to make this version theirs; a printed brand spell0out lives behind the netted windows, the SoleFly wings logo appears on the reverse of a Nike Air brand, and a debossed 10 distinguishes this from the usual base AJ5.

The SoleFly x Air Jordan 5 is expected to release this December. This aligns with what’s been an end-of-year release strategy for a few years now; 2025 checked off the Air Jordan 3 in the last month, and the Air Jordan 12 did the same. Catch screencaps of Khaled’s unboxing moment below. Watch our Jordan Release Dates for additional updates on what’s coming out of the Jumpman, including the Jordan Space Jam capsule.
