Back like they never left—KJ runs through the Fire Red 5’s legacy and what makes this 2025 retro drop one for the books.
Retros With KJ: A Look Back at the Fire Red 5’s
The Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red” is one of those pairs that defines the word classic. From MJ’s early ‘90s era to the sneakerheads of today, this colorway continues to hold its spot in rotation.
In this week’s Retros With KJ, @koolassk pulls the upcoming 2025 release off the shelf and gives us a full breakdown—history included.
Whether you remember the original release in 1990, the retro in 2008, or the 2020 drop with the Nike Air heel tab, this latest version keeps the heat alive. It’s got all the essentials: clean white leather upper, the iconic Fire Red midsole flames, and that icy outsole that never gets old.
