thee toro bravo

The Air Jordan 5 Toro Bravo Pack is inspired by the Toro Bravo, a special bull bred for the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

The black Air Jordan 5 represents both the Toro Bravo, known for its aggressiveness, strength, vigor and intelligence, and Michael Jordan’s basketball career, which exemplified these qualities and more.

The red Air Jordan 5 represents the passion, inspired by MJ’s drive for the game and taking its color from the red bandannas runners in Pamplona wear.

The pack features the Air Jordan 5, which was the last Air Jordan MJ wore before he began on his unprecedented run of six championships in eight seasons. Like a Toro Bravo ready to escape from captivity, the Air Jordan 5 represents the energy building as MJ embarked on his storied career.

The two-pair pack comes in a customized package, inspired by the wooden gates that separate the bull from his escape. The Air Jordan 5 pack will be available in stores May 30th for $310.
