The original Air Jordan V was released in February 1990, again designed by Hatfield. Some elements were the same from the Air Jordan IV, but the Air Jordan 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. The Air Jordan V also featured a base top with lace locks, making strapping on the shoe easy. The Air Jordan V model is considered to have the best structure and design to wear during basketball games and sold the most pairs of shoes from the Air Jordan line. Hatfield is believed to have drawn inspiration for the Air Jordan V from the World War II P-51 Mustang fighter plane; which is most notably visible in the shark teeth shapes on the midsole.
