Since Virgil Abloh began his ongoing partnership with Jordan Brand and Nike in 2017, the designer has released a bevy of colorways featuring a remixed version of the classic Air Jordan 1. While Abloh has yet to drop another collaboration featuring a different Air Jordan model, that may be coming to an end after leaked images of a potential Off-White x Air Jordan 5 surfaced.

An early look provided by @zSneakerheadz on Instagram is what appears to be a collaborative Air Jordan 5. The style has replaced the traditional leather build on the upper with a black mesh material including two see-through panels at the ankle collar and on the netting mid-foot. Details generally found on the silhouette are once again featured on this new version, including a reflective tongue and “23” branding emblazoned on the heel counter; Abloh’s signature ‘Shoelaces’ branding is printed near the aglets.
