The Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red” (Black Tongue) is a classic design featuring a vibrant red upper and a striking black tongue, symbolizing Michael Jordan’s dominance in the ’90s. Meanwhile, the Air Jordan 9 OG “Space Jam” honors the iconic film with its sleek black and white color scheme, reminiscent of MJ’s legendary performance. Both releases hold timeless appeal, inviting sneaker enthusiasts to relive basketball’s golden era and their cultural significance.
In August 2013, the Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red” made a comeback, trading the reflective tongue for a black one. It flaunts a white leather upper with fire red accents and an embroidered “23” on the ankle.
The Air Jordan 9 OG “Space Jam” returned in December 2016, marking the 20th anniversary of the movie. It recreates the shoes taken by Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny in the film, which Jordan later wore during training. With a black and white design accented by True Red branding, especially on the heel, it captures the essence of the movie.
