Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Fire Red Black Tongue' (2025)

This 2025 retro release of the Air Jordan 5 'Fire Red Black Tongue' celebrates 35 years of Michael Jordan’s fifth signature model, bringing back one of its most iconic original colorways with faithful detailing, classic style, and modern comfort.OverviewThe sneaker features a premium white leather upper complemented by Fire Red and Black accents. The standout is the black fabric tongue (non-reflective), restoring a sharp contrast that pays homage to the 1990 OG. Fire Red appears throughout the design: on the midsole's shark-tooth detailing, lace lock, and sock liner. Michael Jordan’s number “23” is embroidered in red on the lateral heel, and the heel also carries the Nike Air branding, a detail cherished by collectors and missing in some past retro versions. The outsole is translucent, providing grip and revealing the Jumpman graphic. This release arrives in full family sizing, with adult pairs retailing at $210 USD. The official release date is September 13, 2025.
