The Air Jordan 5 Retro GS 'Plaid' refreshes the timeless design with a textile upper that combines various plaid patterns. Black netting on the side enhances breathability, while molded black eyelets have orange rope laces feeding through them for a snug fit. Orange Jumpman logos are stitched on the tongue and heel. The shoe rests on a translucent rubber outsole while the black foam midsole houses a visible Air-sole unit in the heel and includes orange shark tooth accents.
