Air Jordan 5 "Fire Red" with Black Tongue Makes a Comeback

 

First Re-release in Nearly 15 Years!

The iconic Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red” is set to return this year, bringing back the black-tongued version that hasn’t been re-released since 2013. Fans of classic Jordan Brand sneakers are in for a treat as this version closely matches the original 1990 release, including the authentic Nike Air branding on the heel.

A Classic Design Returns

The Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red” features the classic white, red, and black color blocking that fans know and love. What makes this release special is the black tongue with red Jumpman branding, a design detail that hasn’t been seen in over a decade.

The sneaker also includes:

• Jordan’s #23 embroidered near the heel

Why This Release Matters

This re-release is not just about nostalgia but also about bringing back the true-to-original look of the 1990 sneaker. The 2013 version had a Jumpman logo on the heel, but this time around, Nike Air branding makes a return, giving sneakerheads a more authentic feel.
