The Air Jordan 5 was released in 1990. The Air Jordan V was the first in the Air Jordan line to have a clear rubber sole. Two models which are the Black/Black-Metallic Silver and White/Fire Red-Black had MJs number "23" on the side. Limited to only 100 pairs each, and were given to unfortunate kids or auctioned off as charity. The air jordan 5 shoes were retroed in late 1999 in white/black-fire red and black/black-met silver and once again there was a great demand for them.
