The Air Jordan 5 OG “Fire Red” (Black Tongue) is Coming Back Like it Never Left

The Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red” with the black tongue is officially back, and it’s more faithful to the 1990 original than any retro in recent memory. Dropping as part of the silhouette’s 35th anniversary celebration, this release rewinds the clock for fans who’ve been waiting for a true-to-form comeback.

This version returns with a white leather upper, black tongue, and Fire Red hits across the midsole, lining, and lace lock. It’s clean. It’s bold. And it sticks to the OG formula. Gone are the tweaks seen in the 2006 and 2013 editions—this one brings back key details like the Nike Air logo on the heel and MJ’s “23” stitched in red on the lateral side.

Mesh netting lands on the side panels and tongue for that signature look. A translucent outsole finishes things off with the icy touch fans expect. If you missed the original or passed on the previous retros, this is the one to watch.

The Air Jordan 5 OG “Fire Red” (Black Tongue) is a massive throwback and a must-cop for the AJ5 fans. Dropping September 13th, Let us know if you’ll be adding these to your rotation, and be sure to keep it locked for your best chance to secure your size!
