This edition features the black tongue, making its return after more than a decade.

The Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red” with a black tongue is set to return this year, marking its first true-to-original reissue since its debut in 1990. This version stays faithful to the original design, featuring Nike Air branding on the heel instead of the Jumpman logo seen on the 2013 release. The sneaker maintains its signature white leather upper, complemented by red and black detailing, a translucent outsole, and the signature shark tooth midsole accents.

What sets this release apart is the return of the black tongue variant, which hasn’t been re-released in over a decade. The black reflective tongue, paired with red Jumpman branding, gives the sneaker a bold and timeless look. Additional details include Jordan’s #23 embroidered near the heel, adding to the nostalgic appeal for longtime fans of the silhouette.

With fresh images surfacing, excitement continues to build around this long-awaited drop. As part of Jordan Brand’s 2025 lineup, the “Fire Red” Air Jordan 5 joins other classic releases, making this year an exciting one for sneaker enthusiasts.
