The “Grape” colorway seems to be synonymous with the Air Jordan 5 silhouette. This color palette of purple and teal, made famous by actor/ rapper Will Smith aka The Fresh Prince, proved that the Air Jordan 5 has cross-over appeal with the masses.

Now, the upcoming Air Jordan 5 “Alternate Grape” will make its debut with perfect timing for the warm summer weather. This silhouette features a purple suede upper with hits of teal that makes for a perfect combination against the black midsole and tongue.

The release date for the AJ5 “Alternate Grape” is slated for July 8 for $190 USD. Check out the pics above.

adidas executive Karen Parkin will step down following recent protests within the company. Parkin is at the center of the mistreatment employees have been facing at the company’s Portland headquarters.

According to the Wall Street Journal, in 2019 Parkin called the issue of racism “noise” and that adidas had no issues of it. What’s even more ironic is adidas issued a statement on June 9 stating plans to create a more inclusive workforce as well as improved environment involving their hiring practices.

Parkin had this to say:

While we have made progress in many areas, there is much more work to be done. However, it has become clear to me that to unify the organization it would be better for me to retire and pave the way for change. Now is the right time for a new HR leader to take over the function, to seize the opportunity before us and drive forward the pace of change to create a more diverse and inclusive adidas that we can all be proud of.

The Air Jordan 7 “Hare” was definitely one of the more popular, and some would say iconic, colorways of the silhouette. The Air Jordan 6 “Hare” sees what would happen if you apply the same design scheme.

Jordan Brand will now be releasing the Air Jordan 6 “Hare” that will feature a very similar color palette as the Air Jordan 7 which was released back in ‘92. One subtle yet standout detail of the sneaker is the lace-lock that’s made to look like a carrot, perfectly tying together the design with the name.

Priced at $190 USD, the Air Jordan 7 “Hare” will drop on June 17.
