Michael Jordan established Wings, a scholarship fund, as a result of the influential impact educators had on his early development. Wings is devoted to providing equal educational opportunities to young individuals. To commemorate this objective, the Air Jordan 5 "Wings" edition features a leather upper adorned with doodles and illustrations created by students from Little Black Pearl, a non-profit organization dedicated to art and design in Chicago's South Side. The tongue of the shoe showcases the distinctive Jordan "Wings" logo and the empowering statement, "Everyone Can Fly."
