The Air Jordan 5 is usually a first place kinda kick, but it’s still on fire, even when it gets the bronze. Here’s a look at a pair that plays up the third place prize with a colorway we’d all be happy to have.

A heavily sheened obsidian leather covers the entire upper, with tonal netting and lace plates embedded. The translucent blue outsole plays well into this tonality, while white cuts through for a necessary bit of contrast. The color clash is taken further by the metallic bronze tipped tongue and midsole, which both stand out like the recipient of an Olympic medal taking the podium.

This Air Jordan 5 Olympic Bronze is set to hit Nike retailers on September 24, but until then, enjoy these images provided by Bounce.
