Jordan Brand<\/a> is celebrating Mexico and its Independence Day with the Air Jordan 5 “El Grito”<\/strong> colorway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Air Jordan 5<\/a>‘s nickname derives from the iconic El Grito de la Independencia<\/em> (“Cry\/Shout of Independence” \u2014 also known as El Grito de Dolores<\/em> or simply El Grito<\/em>). From 1521, Spain ruled what is now Mexico and was formerly known as New Spain. At midnight on September 16, 1810, priest\u00a0Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla\u00a0rang his church bell in Dolores, Mexico (renamed Dolores Hidalgo) and gave the\u00a0call to arms\u00a0that marked the beginning of the\u00a0Mexican War of Independence, which lasted until September 28, 1821. Though Mexico wasn’t free until a decade after the war cry, Hidalgo is referred to as the figure of independence for Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, Mexico’s president rings the same bell Hidalgo did and recites El Grito<\/em> from the balcony overlooking the Z\u00f3calo<\/em> (national plaza) at midnight on September 16. During the recitation, the president calls out the names of the fallen heroes who died during the war. El Grito<\/em> ends with the president shouting “\u00a1Viva M\u00e9xico!<\/em>” three times followed by the Mexican National Anthem.<\/p>\n\n\n
