Jordan Brand is once again paying tribute to a significant historical moment with the Air Jordan 5 PRM “El Grito,” a sneaker honouring Mexican heritage and culture. This premium release, adorned with vivid colours and elaborate detailing, is perfect for celebrating Mexican Independence Day or, as it is best known, El Grito de Dolores.

The Air Jordan 5 PRM “El Grito”
This eye-catching sneaker is a nod to the colours of the Mexican flag, featuring a “Diffused Taupe” tumbled leather upper that provides a neutral canvas. This is artfully contrasted by mismatched red and green accents on the midsole and lace locks, representing the flag and celebrating Mexico’s rich cultural heritage.
The design is further elevated with embossed Aztec patterns on the toe cap, tongue, and heel. Traditional side netting is swapped out for sophisticated laser-cut leather. The laces are even adorned with dubraes that read “VIVA,” adding to the cultural homage.
The ensemble is completed with a “Dark Pony” inner lining and a combination of sail and gum rubber on the sole unit for a refined look.
What We Like About The Sneakers
This sneaker is likely to divide opinion, but it’s certainly leaning towards the love end of the spectrum for us. The sleek, neutral leather upper is complemented by intricate detailing and vibrant pops of colour, making it both stylish and meaningful.
