• Average Resell Price: $589
• Colorway: Cool Grey, Club Pink, Court Purple, Game Royal
• Release Date: Saturday, October 5, 2013
• Style Code: 621958-090

The Bel Air edition of the Air Jordan 5 Retro honors the legendary Will Smith series ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ from the 1990s. Will Smith featured several of the top shoes of the time throughout the series, and in the pilot, he can be seen donning the Air Jordan 5 in the “Metallic” and “Fire Red” hues.

The Air Jordan 5 Retro “Bel Air,” which debuted in October 2013, features a Cool Grey leather upper with a multicolored inner, a vivid Club Pink Jumpman on the tongue, black laces, and a pink and green 23 logo at the ankle. It was inspired by the show’s title card color scheme.

This pair of Jordan sneakers retailed for $185 and has an incredibly high resell price of almost $600, which just shows how hyped, and popular the Bel-Air colorway is in this sneaker.

Air Jordan 5 Retro ‘UNC’

• Retail Price: $225
• Sneaker Flippers’ Estimated Resell Price: $550
• Colorway: University Blue, Black, and White
• Release Date: Sunday, March 5, 2023
• Style Code: DV1310-401

The Air Jordan 5 “UNC” is scheduled to appear in the spring of 2023, just in time for March Madness, continuing Jordan Brand’s tradition of college-themed releases.

Dressed in MJ’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina colors: University Blue, Black, and White. The University Blue nubuck upper of this version of the Air Jordan 5 is accented with Silver 3M reflective tongues and college patches on the heels.

The design is finished with “Heart” and “Soul” text hidden below the tongues, a Black midsole with Grey speckling, and an ice-transparent outsole. The sneakers will be offered in full family sizing and packed in a distinctive box.

The UNC colorway is one of the most iconic of all the Jordan colorways, and it’s a big reason why we think the Jordan sneaker resale on this pair will be through the roof.

With a pretty high retail of $225, we anticipate these Jordan sneakers to resell for an average price of $550 after it releases.
