Could This Be the Air Jordan V "Hornets" Colorway?

Leaked images of the Air Jordan V "Hornets" sneaker.

Air Jordan V "Hornets"

Back in October, Michael Jordan took over the Charlotte Hornets' Twitter account and gave sneakerheads the ultimate surprise with an exclusive look at a slew of Hornets-themed Air Jordan PEs.

While 'heads have already seen a similar color scheme by way of "Grape" Vs, the combination of purple and teal is still one that never ceases to amaze us, especially on a pair of crisp Js. And considering MJ's role as the owner of the Hornets, expect the theme to be alive and well for many years.

The latest iteration of a possible "Hornets" colorway comes by way of this newly leaked image of a pair of Air Jordan Vs. The sneakers are decked out in what appears to be a purple leather base ("Midnight Navy," officially) with teal accents and a 3M tongue.

Will this be part of Jordan Brand's remastered initiative this year? Maybe. The rumor is a May 2 launch. We'll have to wait for an official word from JB, but in the meantime, a pair is already up on eBay.
