What makes the Air Jordan 5 Retro Low x CLOT such an anticipated colorway?

Though CLOT, as a clothing lifestyle brand, is not that well known in the States, it does have a loyal following in China, Hong Kong, and elsewhere in the East. Though this is not the first time Nike has collaborated with CLOT, this colorway is special as it brings the best of both worlds- the popularity of Air Jordans and the design colorways popular in the East.

Coming to the shoe, the USP of this CLOT x Air Jordan 5 Low ‘Classic Jade’ is its glow-in-the-dark sole. This is perhaps one of the few colorways of the Air Jordan sneakers for men that come with a glow-in-the-dark component. Besides this, the upper consists of black satin with flat red and white laces. On the midfoot is a white netting, just behind that are the Chinese characters for the number 23, as the lacing system is adjusted that way.

Why is this colorway compared to Jade?

Mainly for its glow-in-the-dark sole. In Oriental culture, Jade is a precious stone used to make ornaments for royalty and aristocracy. Only available primarily in China and South East Asia, jade is as precious as gold and diamonds. The glowing sole resembles the green jade color. As this is a limited edition shoe, for many sneaker collectors, this colorway is as precious as jade. In Oriental culture, jade represents protection, beauty, power, artistry, and eternity. For many, owning an object with jade in it signifies the heights of success.
