Nike Air Jordan 5 'Olympic' Release Date, Pics, Price

Air Jordan enters the Olympics celebration Saturday with an epic offering, the Nike Air Jordan 5 "Olympic" retro colorway.

As expected by its namesake, it's an eye-catching, gold-infused affair inspired by the medals Olympians receive for reaching the top spot on a podium.

Here's a look at the release details, via Sneaker Bar Detroit:

Release Date	Price
Saturday, August 20	$190

B/R Kicks provided a look at the grandiose offering:

By all accounts, this is a basic, classic design, with a white leather upper alongside black and gold accents with a flashy tongue.

Basic, with a dash of Olympic tongue.

Though the main attraction, the rest of the shoe isn't a slouch—especially on the foot.

Kicks on Fire snapped the scenario:

Jordan Hub grabbed another:

More than anything, it's quite easy to overlook the contrast the gold and blue accents provide so well on the bottom. It's a nice touch and a way to avoid going overboard to ruin the shoe's basic white upper.

Call it the perfect shoe for the special occasion. It's an older design with a dash of the dramatic, which fits well with the Olympics this year—which feature familiar older games but a younger generation shattering record after record once thought untouchable.

Sneakerheads can get their hands on the Nike Air Jordan 5 "Olympic" starting Saturday.
