The Air Jordan 5 Retro Tokyo 23, also known as Air Jordan Retro 5 Tokyo 23 or Air Jordan 5 Retro T23 Tokyo, is a highly anticipated sneaker making its return in 2025. First launched in 2011 for the grand opening of the Jordan Tokyo 23 store, this iconic model embodies a unique blend of bold design and cultural tribute. The shoe’s standout feature is its vivid varsity maize yellow nubuck upper, complemented by wolf grey translucent quarter panels and accents. The reflective tongue with an embroidered Jumpman logo conveys a premium finish, while the signature “23” stitching on the lateral heel and the embroidered Kanji symbol add authentic Japanese flair.

This rendition embraces OG styling with modern tweaks such as a slightly taller 3M reflective tongue and a matte finish midsole, replacing the original’s gloss. The outsole features a translucent icy blue rubbers accented with a yellow Jumpman emblem on the forefoot, paired with a black shark teeth midsole detailed with yellow and black splatter—a signature look for the Jordan 5 series.
