Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red Black Tongue (2025)

The Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red Black Tongue (2025) marks the return of one of the most iconic original Air Jordan 5 colourways ever created. First introduced in 1990, the Fire Red Black Tongue helped define the early legacy of the Air Jordan line, and its 2025 release celebrates the model's 35th anniversary with one of the most faithful recreations of the original design to date.

Crafted from premium white leather, the upper is accented with bold Fire Red detailing and the signature black reflective tongue that distinguishes this version from the silver-tongued Fire Red release. Classic quarter-panel mesh netting, embroidered "23" branding on the lateral heel and the return of the original Nike Air heel logo faithfully recreate Tinker Hatfield's 1990 masterpiece. A translucent outsole and visible Air cushioning complete the timeless design.

Originally designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 5 drew inspiration from World War II fighter aircraft, most notably through its iconic shark-tooth midsole detailing. The silhouette introduced innovations including reflective tongue material, translucent rubber outsoles and visible Nike Air cushioning, making it one of the most influential basketball shoes of its era. The 2025 edition preserves these signature elements while updating the construction with modern craftsmanship.

Released as part of Jordan Brand's 35th Anniversary celebration, the Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red Black Tongue (2025) quickly became one of the year's most anticipated retros. Combining authentic OG details with premium materials and timeless colour blocking, it stands as an essential addition for Air Jordan collectors and anyone who appreciates basketball heritage.
