Over a decade after its Japan-exclusive debut, the Air Jordan 5 ‘Tokyo23’ is stepping back onto the shelves. Originally released in April 2011 to mark the opening of Jordan’s Tokyo 23 store, the bright yellow silhouette is making a comeback.

The 2025 drop is rumoured to include two versions. One is true to the OG with a Jumpman heel logo, and the other will potentially feature the classic Nike Air branding. Whether it’s a one-to-one retro or a fresh twist, the comeback has collectors talking.
