The Air Jordan 5 Alternate Grape colorway has seemingly been a mystery as there have been rumblings of the shoe that dates back a year ago.

Now the release of the “Alternate Grape” is coming to fruition and and is set to release next month.

This vibrant colorway gets its name from one of the more popular colorways in the Air Jordan 5 series and is constructed of a mostly suede upper in a purple hue. Other standout features of the sneaker include the aqua blue Jumpman on the tongue with matching lace locks.

Release date is scheduled for some time in April, check back for more info.
