Is 2026 shaping up to be an even better year than 2025 for Jordan fans? Yet another classic Retro is expected to join the release slate as the Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey” is poised for a return next year. It joins the Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” and the Infrared 6s as some of the confirmed drops for 2026, continuing a strategy that has relied on repurposed hits of the past.
A Brief History Of The Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey”
The Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey” hit stores on May 14th, 2011. Met with plenty of fanfare, this updated colorway on the fifth Air Jordan immediately sold out upon arrival, climbing the charts in resell value as popularity of Jordan Retros continued to ascent. Below is a look at the 2011 version of the shoes.
The shoes may be a bit fresher in your memory because of the Air Jordan 5 Golf release in 2020. These modified shoes dropped during the fifth model’s run as a golfing sneaker.
Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey” Early Info
