Will Smith has been one of the originals in terms of not being afraid to have your own style. The Philadelphia native’s bold style has been evident in music and especially post music career on tv and the big screen.

Starring in the iconic sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” really showed Smith’s legendary style from wearing his school uniform coat inside-out to rocking a pair of Air Jordan 5’s with no laces. The latter being the most iconic stance in pop culture as no one has revolutionized the no laces besides Run-DMC.

Jordan Brand has done a good job of honoring Will Smith’s style, even releasing a ‘Grape’ Jordan 5 with no laces and now they prep us for the AJ5 Bel-Air. This modified version of the ‘Grape’ colorway adds some nostalgic touches like the bold colorful design on the sock liner to the mismatched Jumpman embroidery featured on the heel. A Cool Grey leather upper equipped with bright Pink Jumpman on the tongue, black laces, and a pink and green 23 logo round out the details of this silhouette.
