Here is a brand new never worn (Deadstock/DS) pair of. 2013 Air Jordan V(5) retro Grape autographed/signed by Academy Award nominee, 4 time Grammy Award winner and 1990s star of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor and musician Will Smith. First about the shoes. The Air Jordan 5 Grape was first released in 1990. Although Michael Jordan never wore this colorway on the court it became a pop culture and entertainment phenomenon. Jordan still endorsed the shoe and was seen sporting it on the Wheaties box in the 90s with matching apparel. Chris Rock wore the Air Jordan 5 Grape on the cover of his debut comedy album, Born Suspect. But, the shoe is most remembered when Will Smith wore it as the star of the successful 90s TV sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. They re-released the shoes again in 2006 and then again in 2013. These shoes are from the 2013 release. The sneakers/shoes are so iconic and popular they just released it again this year without the shoe laces and are calling it the Air Jordan 5 NRG Fresh Prince. These shoes come with the original box, lace locks and even the box type shoe stays inside of the shoes. The shoes and are a size 10.5. The shoes are pristine! Will Smith autographed/signed the left toe box in blue sharpie. Although he only signed one shoe you get the pair. The autograph has been authenticated by PSA/DNA(Cert #Y28998) and can be verified on the PSA/DNA website. It comes with the PSA/DNA cert card and matching sticker on the shoe. It is tough to see the sharpie on the shoes because of all the other fans clamoring for an autograph. But, I think you can tell the shoe is positioned correctly and you can see the lace locks. Either way PSA/DNA has authenticated it and this picture is just an added bonus. I have been collecting autographed sneakers since 2012 and this is the only Will Smith autographed Air Jordan 5 Grape. I have ever seen come up for sale. It is definitely rare!! These shoes were part of the Kick Art collection. (see details of the collection below). Check out the video on the channel.
