The Jordan Tatum 5 “Sunrise” pairs a dark purple upper with pink and mango accents, forefoot Air Zoom and a strap at the midfoot. Its release is expected on 15 October 2026; Nike currently lists it as coming soon.
A morning-sky colourway
Jordan connects the colourway with morning-sky tones and Tatum’s habit of being first into the gym. Bright Concord, Urban Lilac, China Rose and Bright Mango are the named colours. The mix moves from a deep purple base to brighter accents.
Bright Concord supplies the dark purple that covers most of the upper. A release report describes pink low on the side panels and under the strap, with a lighter pink section across the midfoot. Bright Mango completes the palette; together, the named colours give “Sunrise” its contrast.
A release report places Tatum’s JT logo on the tongue and a Jumpman on the strap. The strap is one of the clearest visual differences from earlier numbered Tatum shoes. It sits at the midfoot, beneath the laces, rather than forming a high collar.
The construction details
The product description lists Air Zoom cushioning in the forefoot, a foam midsole and a rubber outsole with herringbone traction. It also describes a moulded upper, synthetic leather and perforations at the toe and sides. These are the specific construction details attached to this colourway.
The strap passes under the laces, holds the tongue and fastens over the laces with a contact closure. Classic laces remain part of the shoe’s fastening. A heel tab is listed as another practical detail. Together, those elements describe how the upper is arranged without changing the shoe into a laceless design.
Air Zoom is positioned in the forefoot, while the strap is placed at the midfoot. The product description associates the cushioning with responsiveness and the moulded upper and herringbone traction with stability. The outsole pattern is part of the shoe’s basketball construction, alongside the upper and cushioning components.
A release report gives the forefoot Zoom Air unit a measurement of 10 millimetres and describes a moulded structure through the midfoot and heel. It also interprets five marks in the heel as a reference to Tatum’s Achilles injury during the 2025 playoffs. Those details come from reporting, rather than the product description.
Where the Tatum 5 sits in the line
The Tatum 5 is the fifth numbered signature basketball shoe associated with Jayson Tatum. That places “Sunrise” within an ongoing signature line, rather than among retro models carrying an older Jordan name. Its title refers to the colourway, while the style code identifies this particular version.
The palette gives this pair a clear place among the Tatum 5 options discussed in current release coverage. A separate “Sunset” colourway has also been reported as a forthcoming pair, using the opposite point in the day as its theme. That reported companion helps explain the idea behind the Sunrise name, but it does not change the details of this shoe.
The fifth model continues the line’s connection with Tatum’s identity through the JT mark and the colourway’s reference to his gym routine. Here, the design account is direct: morning-sky tones, signature branding and a basketball build with cushioning and traction components. The product’s named colours make the palette more specific than a general description such as purple and pink.
For anyone comparing release information, the useful identifiers are the model name, “Sunrise” colourway and style code IO1746-401. The code is especially helpful when checking a listing, because it points to this colour arrangement rather than to the Tatum 5 line as a whole. The product block below links to the exact pair.
Expected release date
The expected release date is 15 October 2026. The Nike product listing says “coming soon”, while two release reports give that October date. Reports also place the adult pair at Nike and Jordan Brand retailers. The date remains reported rather than brand-confirmed.
This release concerns the adult “Sunrise” colourway. The style code is IO1746-401, and the listed colour names are Bright Concord, Urban Lilac, China Rose and Bright Mango. These identifiers are useful when checking that a release listing refers to this pair.
