About Air Jordan Air Jordan 5 Retro Moonlight (GS)
What is Air Jordan 5 Retro Moonlight (GS)?
The Air Jordan 5 Retro Moonlight (GS) is a youth-sized reissue of the classic 1990 basketball silhouette designed by Tinker Hatfield. This version features a soft suede upper in a clean white-based colorway with subtle gray overlays, earning its 'Moonlight' nickname from the soft, luminous aesthetic. Built for both style and performance, it retains the original's aggressive shark-tooth midsole pattern, translucent outsole, and reflective 3M tongue. With its heritage roots tied to Mars Blackmon from the iconic '80s Nike campaigns, this GS (Grade School) model delivers a smaller fit while preserving the bold design language of the original Air Jordan 5.
