About the DJ Khaled x Air Jordan 5 Retro "We The Best - Court Purple"

Two versions of this shoe were made and neither reached a shop. They differ only in colour, which throws attention onto the model itself, a 1990 Tinker Hatfield design whose details were unusually theatrical for a basketball shoe. The midsole carries moulded teeth borrowed from fighter-plane nose art, the tongue is reflective, the outsole is translucent, and metal lace locks sit at the top eyelets. Very little of that was functional; most of it was there to be looked at, which is exactly why the shoe absorbs a treatment like this one.

The purple pair holds a single violet through the leather upper and repeats it in the quilted textile lining, so the interior matches rather than contrasts. The Jumpman on the reflective tongue is a lighter lavender. Cream-coloured embroidery spells the We the Best phrase across the left heel and a Nike Air logo occupies the same position on the right shoe. Lilac speckling breaks up the off-white midsole, and the phrase repeats along the translucent outsole.

It is dated 28 November 2022 and carried a $225 list price.
