Update July 25, 2022: Further images of the upcoming DJ Khaled x Air Jordan 5 ‘We The Best’ colab are here!

DJ Khaled and Jordan Brand are still in the meeting, and the latest result of their long-running link-up is a four-pack of We The Best-branded takes on the Air Jordan 5. The major difference between these pairs and Khaled’s past We The Best colabs, like his Air Jordan 3s, is a substantial one: namely that they’ll see a full retail release. Ahead of their arrival later this year, we’ve been given a closer look at one of the four pairs – a peachy orange/pink colourway – by the crew at @prvt.selection.

The quality of the peach-coloured leather used on this special Air Jordan 5 is readily apparent, as its folds and textures communicate its premium nature. There are also hits of cool blueberry for contrast, thanks to the large logos embroidered on the left shoe’s heel (the right shoe retains a classic Nike Air graphic) and stamped under the translucent outsoles. More of this blue shade can be seen on the speckled midsole detailing and the quilted collar lining, another high-end touch that was popularised by Jordan Brand collaborators like Don C and A Ma Maniére. Hi-vis reflective silver tongues boast Michael Jordan’s signature Jumpman logo, and Khaled’s famed ‘Work Hard’ mantra is printed on the lace tips to tie off the look.

At the time of writing, we’re still awaiting official word on a release date and procedures for DJ Khaled’s We The Best x Air Jordan 5 collection. Keep it locked right here, though – more info is sure to surface soon.
