The “Anthracite” colorway has captivated fans and collectors alike for years. Now, it will soon make another appearance on the highly-anticipated Nike Air Jordan 5 Retro SE “Anthracite”.

The suede upper is covered in the titular Anthracite hue. Black accents on the reflective tongue, midfoot mesh cage, and TPU eyestays add contrast and dimension.

Classic Air Jordan 5 features remain—these include the lace lock and the black-and-white finished shark teeth on the midsole. The semi-translucent outsole imbues the shoe with a sense of aesthetic cohesion.

The Nike Air Jordan 5 Retro SE “Anthracite” is projected for a Holiday 2024 release. Retail prices are as follows: US$210 (men’s); US$160 (GS); US$100 (PS); and US$85 (TD).
