Air Jordan 5 (Fire Red) ‘Black Tongue’ Returns in 2025

Sneakerheads, get ready to mark your calendars! The Air Jordan 5 ‘Black Tongue’  is making its triumphant return in the Fall of 2025.

Air Jordan 5 (Fire Red) ‘Black Tongue’ Returns in 2025
Celebrating 35 years of the iconic silhouette, this highly anticipated release promises to deliver the closest recreation yet of the OG 1990 design.

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.

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. ☮️
