Rocking the Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red 2020

The Air Jordan 5's design was inspired by American World War II fighter planes, and is visible through the shark-tooth shaped design on the sneaker's midsole. Other creative elements of the Air Jordan 5 include a translucent icy outsole, adjustable lace lock, visible Nike Air unit, molded-ankle collar and reflective tongue. The first variations of the sneaker came in leather and nubuck. "Nike Air" branding was featured on the back of the shoe's original run, while later retros displayed a Jumpman logo.

History and Timeline of the Air Jordan 5

The Air Jordan 5 is Michael Jordan's fifth signature sneaker under the Nike brand. This model was first released in 1990 and designed by Tinker Hatfield, who also created shoes in the company's archive such as the Nike Air Max, Air Trainer and Mag. Hatfield is also credited with designing every signature sneaker Michael Jordan played in during his professional career in the NBA since the Air Jordan 3.

The Air Jordan 5 was originally released in four colorways:

  • Black-black/metallic silver
  • White-grape/emerald
  • White-fire red/black
  • Black/fire red with Jordan's number 23 stitched on the heel (a player exclusive for the NBA star that never got released in the '90s)

A mesh section for breathability makes up part of the upper sides on these white, black, and red Jordans. The black in the kicks is taken up by the outsole, which maintains a largely black theme broken by a touch of red and a light shade of blue. The red on the sides of the outsole on the Air Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red is in the form of shark-tooth designs. Right below the shark teeth, and part of the back of the outsole, is a translucent light blue rubber sole section. A silvery tongue top section plays host to a red Jumpman logo that matches the red in the collar of the kicks. The mainly white leather upper hosts a red Nike Swoosh and Air print on the heel, matching the inner lining of the upper.
