The Air Jordan 5 Retro Grape reissued after 12 years with Nike Air branding
The iconic 1990 sneaker, made famous as the chosen footwear of Will Smith's Fresh Prince of Bel-Air character, will be re-released on June 21, 2025.
Available across all ages, the adult sneaker will retail for $210.
It's also the first time the Nike Air branding has appeared on a reissue.
Distinct to other sneakers in the Michael Jordan brand, the Grape boasts a white leather upper with vibrant Grape Ice purple and New Emerald green accents on the tongue, midsole, and lace toggle.
The sneakers have been re-released before under Jordan Brand's limited-edition LS (Lifestyle) line in 2006, and in 2013.
In 2018, the Jordan Brand dropped a pair of laceless Grapes as a nod to the way Will Smith would wear them in the beloved US sitcom.
Meanwhile, Billie Eilish released a vegan Air Jordan sneaker collection in 2021.
The Bad Guy singer teamed up with the legendary brand on a variation of the Air Jordan 1 KO and the Air Jordan 15 in lime green and nude.
The megastar gushed that it was a "surreal experience" getting to collaborate with the Jordan Brand on her own designs of the signature shoes made famous by the namesake retired basketball champion, Michael Jordan.
The Grammy winner followed in the footsteps of the likes of Travis Scott, Drake and J Balvin in collaborating with the Jordan Brand.

Black Caviar and Winx to be elevated to Legend status in Australian Racing Hall of Fame
Winx or Black Caviar? Who was the greatest? The mighty mares were both freakish champions and trying to determine who is the best is the subject of robust debate. There is a school of thought that comparing champions of different eras is a futile exercise but racing – and other sports – is built on comparisons. We all like to consider how Phar Lap would have gone against today's champions. Or, who is the best racehorse, Secretariat or Frankel? It's the same in other sports. In cricket, we are forever comparing the records of modern day batters like Steve Smith to the legendary Sir Donald Bradman. In rugby league, is Wally Lewis better than Andrew Johns? Is Reg Gasnier or John Raper the best of them all? • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! It's the same with AFL. There's plenty in Leigh Matthews' corner, Gary Ablett Senior is in the conversation, as are Ted Whitten, John Coleman and Tony Lockett. There are always comparisons between Michael Jordan or LeBron James as the best basketballer, and does any boxer challenge Muhammad Ali as the greatest of all-time? In tennis, there is ongoing debate about the best player of the modern era – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic? And how do they rate against the only man to win the Grand Slam twice, Rod Laver? The point is comparing champion racehorses is like debating the greats of other sports – it's a fun exercise and we all do it. But when analysing the race careers of Winx and Black Caviar, how do you split them? This was the dilemma facing the Australian Racing Hall of Fame selection committee when determining which of these two mares would be elevated to 'Legend' status at the Hall of Fame-Racehorse of the Year awards in Brisbane on August 31. There are only three racehorses elevated to the Legend category so far – Phar Lap, Carbine and Makybe Diva – and it is the most elite honour in Australian racing. Winx and Black Caviar are both deserving of 'Legend'' status, it was just a matter of when. And trying to decide who would go in first was like asking which mare would win if they clashed over 1400m at weight-for-age? In the end, the selection panel simply couldn't split them and made the unprecedented but sensible call to elevate both Winx and Black Caviar to 'Legend' status the same year. 'It is fitting Black Caviar and Winx are going in as a 'Legend' together,'' said Peter Moody, trainer of Black Caviar. 'They are both great mares and it was only a matter of time, with all due respect, they were both going to get that honour and very deservedly so.'' Perfection! ðŸ'¯ Do yourself a favour & watch Black Caviar's 25 wins from 25 starts ðŸ�¿ Which victory was your favourite? — (@Racing) August 17, 2024 • Hall of Fame chairman Jason Scott echoed the sentiments of the entire selection panel when he said: 'Debate has raged for years over which of the two champion mares is the greatest we've seen, however what is certain is that their legacies transcend far beyond the boundaries of racing. 'It's deserving that they both be bestowed 'Legend' status in the Australian Racing Hall of Fame together, befitting of their stature as two of the best we have and will ever have the (good) fortune to see'. Winx won 37 of her 43 races, including her last 33 races in succession, featuring a world record 25 at Group 1 level. She was so good they made a movie about her. 'I always admired Winx's determination and the uncomplicated way she went about her work and racing,'' Waller said. 'She didn't require any extra fuss. 'She was a high performance athlete with an amazing amount of talent, and she captured the imagination. 'When I talk to people about Winx, there's nothing but ultimate respect for her. It is fitting she has been elevated to 'Legend' status.'' "IT'S EQUINE UTOPIA!" It wouldn't be Cox Plate week without the four-time champion Winx - the most successful Cox Plate horse in history 🙌 If you're looking for more Cox Plate replays, you can head to 's Vault to watch them ðŸ'‰ — (@Racing) October 24, 2024 Black Caviar was simply unbeatable. 25 starts, 25 wins, 15 at Group 1 level. Surely there has never been a better sprinter than this magnificent mare. She won most of her races effortlessly, running fast times and breaking the hearts of her chasing rivals. Even when she wasn't at her absolute best, like the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, they still couldn't beat her. 'Black Caviar changed my life,'' Moody said. 'Every day, I still think about her and then when Royal Ascot comes each year around you relive those great memories again. She was a once-in-a-lifetime horse.''

Will Smith would consider playing Obama on screen
Hollywood star Will Smith as former US president Barack Obama on the big screen? "I definitely would consider playing president Obama, for sure," the 56-year-old said in an interview with dpa in London. However, the multi-talented star first wants to focus on his revived music career after recently releasing a new hip-hop album - Based on a True Story - and embarking soon on a European tour. This was a new departure, as German fans are likely to know him primarily as a film star, Smith admitted. "I look at it almost as I'm a new artist. So I'm introducing myself to the German fans as a musician and, as solely as a musician," said Smith, who, alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, became the first rapper ever to win a Grammy in 1989. As a solo artist, Smith released a total of five studio albums and topped the charts with songs such as Men in Black, Gettin' Jiggy Wit It, Miami and Wild Wild West. Performances are planned in some 10 European countries, the United Kingdom and Morocco between June and early September. Smith also revealed that he plans to turn his most successful social media post to date, which garnered nearly nine million likes on Instagram, into part of his stage act. In that post, he recreates a well-known dance scene from the hit series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with his former co-star Tatyana Ali (Ashley). Both dance to the recent hit song Anxiety by US Grammy award-winning rap artist Doechii, who also appears in the video and joins in the dancing. "There will definitely be in an Anxiety moment on stage," Smith said. d Hollywood star Will Smith as former US president Barack Obama on the big screen?
