Originally released as a part of the 'L-Style' (Lifestyle) Series in 2006, the Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Black Carolina' is set for a comeback. Twenty years later, this AJ 5 is still as good as it gets. The all-black nubuck upper is complemented nicely by university blue contrast stitching throughout. The classic 3M reflective tongue and flame on the midsole are still intact. The previously clear translucent outsole has been given an icy blue upgrade to accentuate the vibes as well as help to slow down the yellowing process.

Shop AWOL will be releasing the Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Black Carolina' in-store on Saturday, June 20, 2026, on a first come, first serve basis. Any remaining pairs will be available online starting at 6 pm EST. Retail is $220 for men and $155 for gradeschool.
