The Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red Black Tongue (2025) revisits one of the most celebrated colorways in the AJ5 catalog, delivering a faithful return of a true classic. Clad in white, fire red, and black, the sneaker features a premium white leather upper accented by bold fire red hits along the midsole and inner lining. Its defining element, the striking black tongue, sets it apart from the reflective-tongue versions and reinforces its deep-rooted basketball heritage.
This release stays true to the original 1990 design with carefully preserved details. The embroidered “23” on the lateral heel, visible Nike Air cushioning, and a translucent outsole with Jumpman branding all echo Tinker Hatfield’s iconic blueprint. Most notably, the return of the “Nike Air” branding on the heel restores a key piece of authenticity that longtime fans have been waiting for. The result is a retro that feels both nostalgic and thoughtfully updated.
Marking the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 5, the Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red Black Tongue (2025) launched on September 13, 2025, with an original retail price of $215. Its timeless color blocking and OG-inspired details quickly made it one of the standout Jordan releases of the year.
