The original Air Jordan V was released in February 1990. Again designed by Hatfield, and like
his other designs, this was again truly revolutionary. Some elements were the same from the Air
Jordan IV, but the V's most distinctive feature is arguably its reflective tongue. There was also
another innovation: clear rubber soles. The soles gave the shoe a whole new and unique look,
but it quickly turned yellow in reaction to water. Collectors' responses to this was storing the
shoes in a cool, dry place with a desiccant at the soles, most commonly silica packs.
