Sneakerheads, get ready to mark your calendars! The Air Jordan 5 ‘Black Tongue’ is making its triumphant return in the Fall of 2025.
Design Details:
For fans of the classic Jordan lineage, this drop is nothing short of monumental. Unlike the reflective-tongue iteration, this version brings back the sleek black fabric tongue, adding a bold contrast to the pristine white leather upper. The legendary Fire Red accents make their mark on the midsole, lace lock, and sock liner, ensuring every detail radiates nostalgia. Even Michael Jordan’s famous number '23', embroidered in red on the lateral heel, stays true to its original form.
What truly sets this release apart? The Nike Air branding on the heel. A rare feature missing from the 2006 and 2013 retros, this hallmark of authenticity is a nod to the sneaker’s historic roots, thrilling long-time collectors and new fans alike.
Release Info:
Priced at $210, the Air Jordan 5 ‘Black Tongue’ drops on July 26, 2025, via select retailers, Nike.com, and Jordan Brand stores. With buzz already building, this drop is sure to be one of the year’s hottest. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer, this is your chance to grab a piece of basketball and sneaker history.
Don’t sleep on this one—2025 is shaping up to be a banner year for Jordan Brand, and the return of the ‘Black Tongue’ is proof that timeless design never goes out of style.

Love the Jordan

These were my very first pair of Jordans. It was 1990, I was in 4th grade, and I definitely still felt like they made me jump higher. Then one day I was “helping” my Uncle Rick mix/pour concrete for the posts of a fence he was building….and of course, 10 year old me,not watching where I was walking, dunked my entire right foot directly into a hole filled with concrete. (Up to the ankle) I’m pretty sure I cried. I want to cry right now thinking about it. Can’t wait to get my hands on, and feet in, these kicks. Just keep me away from ANY construction within a 10 mile radius. ☮️
