It appears Jordan Brand is revisiting some of its most coveted releases, potentially aiming to bridge the gap between their original rarity and public availability—a move that some might see as capitalizing on the high resale values. Air Jordans often serve as tangible links to specific cultural moments.

The Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo23”, for instance, harks back to a time before widespread Instagram sneaker hype and the current reseller landscape, when securing regionally exclusive releases like this one, tied to the opening of the Jordan Tokyo23 store in Shibuya in April 2011 and available only in Japan, required genuine connections.

About the Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo23”

Distinguished by its vibrant yellow upper and often compared aesthetically to the Air Jordan 4 “Lightning,” the Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo23” has a unique history. Its scarcity quickly drove its price on the secondary market to over US$5,000, making it an instant grail for those seeking to rapidly build a desirable sneaker collection.

Release Details

According to @zsneakerheadz, the Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo23” is slated for a return in Fall 2025, possibly with two variations. This approach could mirror the re-release of the Undefeated Jordan 4, where one version stayed true to the original design with a Jumpman heel logo, while another featured the classic Nike Air branding. Further details are anticipated.
