In the early ’90s, Michael Jordan made his shoes fly on the hardwood and Will Smith kept them fresh on primetime TV.
While there were a handful of early 90s TV appearances for the Air Jordan line, no show gave them as good of a look as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. As some might recall, Jordan Brand paid homage to the program in 2013 with a Bel-Air Pack that included an Air Jordan 5, Jordan Six Rings, Air Jordan 1, and Jordan CP3.VII.
Five years following the 2013 “Bel-Air” Air Jordan 5, Jordan Brand brought back the “Grape” Air Jordan 5 with NIKE AIR branding on the back for the first time since its 1990 debut but created a laceless version to give a nod to the way the Fresh Prince would frequently wear his pair on the show.
