The icy blue look on the bottom of the Air Jordan V is one update made from the OG that nobody seems to mind. The slightly colored soles are allegedly a bit more resilient to the yellowing process, but none of the current-gen Air Jordan Vs have really reached the age where we’ll be able to determine whether or not that’s the case. See the new Air Jordan V “Fire Red”, a sneaker featuring said look, right after the jump and remember that they’ll be releasing on August 31st, 2013.

Why did some OG Air Jordan Vs, like the “Fire Red” pictured here, have the 23 stitching while others did not? The answer to that question might be lost on history, but at least Jordan Brand is respecting the differences with the recent batch of retros. This OG 1990 pair of the Air Jordan V “Fire Red” gives us a better idea of the reference design here, of course including the coveted “Nike Air” in black on back. See the OG Air Jordan V “Fire Red” below and then bid on the pair from faceoffashion on eBay.

Following up on tomorrow’s release of the Air Jordan V “Grape”, the Air Jordan V “Fire Red” will be the next in line as far as original colorways for Mike’s fifth that will be coming back this year.

The Air Jordan III ’88 retro coming in just a couple of weeks has very much opened up Pandora’s box with respect to what’s possible on an Air Jordan re-issue.

We’re sure the Air Jordan V would cause quite the commotion if it got that treatment as well. Shown off here is an original pair that established that look, one that’s been kept in decent condition over the years. Check out the vintage Air Jordan V ‘Fire Red’ OG in the gallery then purchase them from yzer450 on eBay.

Was this Victor Cruz’s reaction upon hearing that the Air Jordan V will be back for some retro treatment next year? Apparently not, as the photo shown instead arrived with a caption about Cruz’s return to training camp, but nonetheless we’re sure he’s just as thrilled as the rest of us about the comeback of that OG colorway come 2013. Which pair of Air’s will Cruz pop up in next? Stick with Jordans Daily to find out.

Generally any given Retro has to take a hiatus for at least a couple of years before jumping right back onto retail shelves. Such is not the case for the Air Jordan V at least this time around, with the model getting plenty of pairs released in 2011 and already back on tap for 2013. The colorway that we can say for certain is coming back is the ‘Fire Red’ with the black based midsole ala the CDP version or the cherished 1999 Retro. Better yet we’ve got the specific day that they’ll be back: January 26th, 2013. Let us know which model among 2013′s awesome release schedule you’re most stoked on and check back with Jordans Daily for photos of the January 2013 Air Jordan V as soon as they pop up. via jmadidas2001 on NT/Photos: Kixclusive
