With its bold 1990s-inspired color scheme, the upcoming Air Jordan 5 Ghost Green appears to pay homage to famed actor Will Smiths character in the beloved TV show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Nike revealed that NBA icon Michael Jordans fifth signature sneaker will be releasing in a new Ghost Green colorway this weekend. With both the classic 90s sitcom and the Air Jordan 5 celebrating their 30th anniversaries, its fitting that the shoe will release with a look Smith would undoubtedly have worn.

The shoe features a white leather upper thats combined with neon accents, while geometric patterns on the liner resemble some of Smiths outfits worn on the sitcom. The shoes standout details are the mismatched green and pink Jumpman logos on the tongue and heel, while purple midsoles and translucent outsoles complete the look.

The brand also referenced Smiths character in 2018 by releasing a variation of the classic Air Jordan 5 Grape without laces a nod to how he would wear the model on-screen. Smith also celebrated the shows 30th birthday by releasing a limited-edition Fresh Prince/ Summertime apparel collection in May.

The Air Jordan 5 Retro Ghost Green will be available on the Nike SNKRS app and at select Jordan Brand retailers on Aug. 9 for a retail price of $190.
