The Air Jordan 5 Retro Grape has been revived after 12 years.
The iconic 1990 sneakers, made famous as the chosen footwear of Will Smith's Fresh Prince of Bel-Air character, will be re-released on June 21, 2025.
Available across all ages, the adult sneakers will retail for US$210 (S$270).
It's also the first time the Nike Air branding has appeared on a reissue.
Distinct to other sneakers in the Michael Jordan brand, the Grape boasts a white leather upper with vibrant Grape Ice purple and New Emerald green accents on the tongue, midsole, and lace toggle.
The sneakers have been re-released before under Jordan Brand's limited-edition LS (Lifestyle) line in 2006, and in 2013.
In 2018, the Jordan Brand dropped a pair of laceless Grapes as a nod to the way Will Smith would wear them in the beloved US sitcom.
Meanwhile, Billie Eilish released a vegan Air Jordan sneaker collection in 2021.
The Bad Guy singer teamed up with the legendary brand on a variation of the Air Jordan 1 KO and the Air Jordan 15 in lime green and nude.
Billie gushed that it was a "surreal experience" getting to collaborate with the Jordan Brand on her own designs of the signature shoes made famous by the namesake retired basketball champion, Michael Jordan.
The Grammy winner followed in the footsteps of Travis Scott, Drake and J Balvin in collaborating with the Jordan Brand.
