The Air Jordan 5 Retro Welcomes the Fire Red Colourway
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 trainer’s midsole. Other creative elements of the Air Jordan 5 include a translucent icy outsole, adjustable lace lock, visible Nike Air unit, moulded-ankle collar and reflective tongue. The first variations of the trainer 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 trainer 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 trainer 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 colourways:
- 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)
Making its debut in 2013 to the Air Jordan 5 silhouette, the Retro Fire colourway features a mostly white leather upper, including its top toe, heel, laces, padded ankle, and its mesh side panels. A black tongue offsets the white upper, and a fire red Jordan Brand Jumpman logo is woven into the top of the tongue. Fire red continues on the lace, inner sock liner, number 23 on the lateral heel, midsole, and arch and toe of the outer sole. The rest of the outer sole is coated in an icy translucent tread.
