The Air Jordan 5 Fire Red "Black Tongue," an iconic original colorway, is set to make its eagerly awaited comeback in Fall 2025, per @zSneakerHeadz. This release commemorates the 35th anniversary of the model, reviving a beloved design that holds a significant place in both basketball and sneaker culture.
The release showcases a classic blend of White, Black, and Fire Red. The upper, crafted from high-quality white leather, is complemented by the signature mesh netting on the side panels and tongue. A striking black tongue provides contrast, standing out boldly against the white base. Michael Jordan’s legendary number “23” is stitched in red on the lateral heel, offering a subtle tribute to his iconic jersey. On the heel, Nike Air branding adds a vintage feel, staying true to the shoe's original design. Fire Red details are seen on the midsole, lace lock, and sock liner, bringing even more nostalgic energy. The look is completed with a translucent outsole, maintaining the shoe’s classic aesthetic
The Air Jordan 5 "Fire Red" (Black Tongue) is currently scheduled to release in Fall 2025 with a retail price of $210.
