  Jordan Brand is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Wings initiative with a limited  Air Jordan 5  release. Since 2015, Michael Jordan's namesake brand has partnered with various communities across the globe to promote youth education via its Wings program. Thus far, the program has provided over 4,000 scholarships, placed 36 interns, and had more than 1,400 students graduate from its design program. Every year since then, the brand has also had a special Air Jordan release to highlight the initiative, and for 2025, there's a silver-colored Jordan 5 dropping tomorrow. The latest pair sports a premium satin upper and has Wings messaging on the toe that reads, "In the Family, No One Flies Alone." It's worth mentioning that only 7,337 pairs of the sneaker will be available. “For the past decade, the Wings initiative has empowered thousands of young minds all over the world—paving the way for future leaders," Jordan Brand's president, Sarah Mensah, said...

  Along with the  “Black Metallic Reimagined”  and  “Grape”  variations, another original Air Jordan 5 is now scheduled to return in 2025 for the shoe’s 35th anniversary. This time it’s the “Fire Red” colorway. As reported by leaker zSneakerHeadz, the upcoming retro is set to drop again in Fall 2025. The “Fire Red” Air Jordan 5 is one of four original colorways, along with the “Black Metallic,” “White Metallic,” and “Grape,” from the model’s initial run in 1990. The sneaker was worn on court by Michael Jordan, and is the only original version that had his #23 embroidered on the heel. The “Fire Red” 5 came back to retail for the first time in 2006, again in 2013, and additionally as a low-cut variation in 2016. However, it’s never been back with its original Nike Air heel branding.

  It appears that  Jordan Brand  may be bringing together two of its partners for an upcoming Air Jordan 1 collaboration. According to leaker accounts  @HORHEAD_Sales  and  @Eldenmonitors  on X, a Union LA x  Fragment  x Air Jordan 1 collab will release in 2025. There are no leaked images of the purported shoe at the time of writing, but the early reports suggest it will feature Union's Frankenstein design with a mismatched collar and upper from different Air Jordan 1s. The style is also expected to feature Fragment's signature blue hue on the shoe, along with its lightning bolt logo. Additionally, a  new Union x Air Jordan 1 collab  is also rumored to hit retailers in 2025 that will feature a combination of the "Shadow" and "Chicago" colorways. As of now, the rumored Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 has yet to be announced by the collaborators involved. Check back soon for new developments in the coming months. UPDATE (06/30): ...

  For those who weren't able to cop Kith's  Asics  Gel-Kayano 12.1 "Vintage Tech" collabs that released in June, two new colorways of the hybrid sneaker just launched on the Complex Shop. The  Asics  Gel-Kayano 12.1 is available now in the  white/menthol  and the  cream/stillwater  colorways. The silhouette was designed in partnership with Kith founder Ronnie Fieg, featuring the upper of the Gel-Kayano 12 that first released in 2006, with the tooling of the more modern Nimbus 17 sneaker from 2015. Both GR colorways sport a white-based mesh upper, but the white/menthol version features mint green and silver accents throughout, and the cream/stillwater pair has brown and baby blue hits. The new  Asics  Gel-Kayano 12.1 colorways can be purchased now via the Complex Shop in sizes ranging from an 8 up to a 13. Both pairs retail for $170.
