While completely fresh in its design vision, the Air Jordan 35 still makes an attempt to touch on nostalgic notes, reaching back thirty years to bridge the gap with the Air Jordan 5. For the most part, it’s the colorways that have visualized that concept, with this upcoming Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red” making a clear connection to one of 2020’s most recurring sneaker releases.
With the enlarged silver reflective tongue and red interior lining, this Air Jordan 35 almost perfectly embodies that original colorway. It’s just a flooding of black on the midsole short from truly channeling that iconic colorway (one that returned to stores on May 2nd). In fact, there’s no black evident on this upcoming release at all, so what exactly is Jordan Brand looking to achieve here? Regardless of its omission, this is one of the cleaner Air Jordan 35 colorways yet.
While a release date has yet to be determined, a January drop doesn’t seem out of the question. We’ll update you when we have firm details, so in the meantime, check out the Jordan Release Dates page to see what else is coming in January 2021.
