Official release details for the iconic Air Jordan 5 'Fire Red' sneakers
Mike Jordan's Iconic Kicks are Back!
The almighty Michael Jordan, NBA's GOAT and the creator of the legendary Jordan Brand, is back with his famous Air Jordan 5 sneakers. These bad boys have been a staple in both the sneaker and fashion world since Jordan's playing days, and this fall, we'll see the epic "Fire Red" colorway make a comeback, complete with a classic detail that's never been seen before.
Back in 1990, Air Jordan 5 debuted as the successor to the Air Jordan 4, and it remains one of Nike and Jordan Brand's most popular silhouettes ever. Inspired by World War II fighter jets, these kicks flaunt "teeth" on the midsole and the iconic "23" stitched on the back heel (which will reappear for the first time on the "Fire Red" version).
With Nike and Jordan Brand recently giving us a sneak peek at the upcoming colorway, fans can barely contain their excitement as they eagerly await the chance to own yet another piece of Jumpman history. The new "Fire Red" will feature a classic black tongue that Jordan himself wore during his playing days, and it's sure to be a sought-after collectible.
