Ross Dwyer Although we’ve still got a solid six months of 2019 left, Jordan Brand fans already have ample reason to get excited about 2020, as it’s surfaced that the Jumpman will be bringing back the Air Jordan 5 in an OG “Fire Red” colorway next February. As the AJ5 was first released in 1990, 2020 marks its 30th anniversary, so this pair boasts all the beloved details that make the fighter plane-inspired silhouette so popular. A crisp white leather is accented by red trim and a beloved high-vis reflective silver tongue with an embroidered red logo, while a black/red midsole and translucent outsole provide a stark yang to the upper’s crisp ying. Most importantly, Nike Air branding will adorn the heel, a true-to-the-original detail that hasn’t been seen on the “Fire Red” since 2000, and is sure to have purists and new fans alike practically writhing with delight. Stay tuned to our Jordan Release Dates page for more info and updates as they’re available, and be sure to note that the above image is for reference only, as pictures of the impending release have yet to surface.
