The Air Jordan 5 Fire Red “Black Tongue”, a legendary original colorway, is making a much-anticipated return in Fall 2025. This release celebrates the model’s 35th anniversary, bringing back a fan-favorite design that holds a special place in basketball and sneaker history.

The Air Jordan 5 features a timeless combination of White, Black, and Fire Red. The upper is made from premium white leather, with signature mesh netting on the side panels and tongue. A bold black tongue adds contrast, creating a striking look against the white upper. Michael Jordan’s iconic number “23” is embroidered in red on the lateral heel, a subtle nod to his jersey. The heel showcases the Nike Air branding, giving the shoe a vintage touch true to its original roots. Fire Red accents appear on the midsole, lace lock, and sock liner, adding even more nostalgic flair. Finishing the design is a translucent outsole, staying true to the original style.
