About the Jordan 5 OG Fire Red 1990

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)

Jordan 5 OG Fire Red 1990

Four black eyelets make up the tongue side of the collar on the Air Jordan 5 in Fire Red. The black theme on the white, black, and red Jordans continues with the top side of the tongue, wave prints on the sides of the outsole, and a black top section of the outsole on the heel. Just like the upper, the outsole of the Air Jordan 5 OG is a blend of white, black, and red with each color taking up a well-thought-out section of the outsole. From the front, a white theme is maintained from the black tongue section all the way to the toes. There’s a mesh section to provide breathability on the sides of the upper, and behind them on the heel, a red and black 23 logo pops out before a white background.
