Air Jordan 5 'Tokyo' Release Date (2025)

The Air Jordan 5 'Tokyo' is officially returning in Fall 2025, marking the first-ever retro release of the iconic Japan-exclusive colorway. Originally dropped in 2011 to commemorate the opening of Jordan Tokyo23, a special retail space in Japan, the sneaker instantly became one of the most coveted Air Jordan 5s of all time due to its bold color palette, limited production run, and regional exclusivity. With resale prices remaining sky-high for over a decade, the upcoming retro offers a long-awaited second chance for collectors and new fans alike.

Staying faithful to the original, the 2025 version is expected to feature the same standout Varsity Maize suede upper, contrasting black and Wolf Grey detailing, and the signature embroidered “23” logo reimagined in Japanese kanji. The icy translucent outsole and reflective tongue return as well, delivering the iconic AJ5 silhouette with a fresh-yet-familiar energy. With Jordan Brand leaning deeper into heritage and global storytelling, the return of the Air Jordan 5 'Tokyo' underscores the lasting cultural impact of one of the most celebrated non-U.S. Jordan releases ever.

Mark your calendars as the Air Jordan 5 'Tokyo' releases on September 27, 2025. Stay up to date on every upcoming Air Jordan release with our Air Jordan Release Dates calendar.
