Air Jordan Shoes

The 23rd anniversary celebration has become a tradition for Jordan Brand in recent years, so while we can go ahead and chart out the releases until 2022 (which would be the Fourteen’s year to shine), we don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves here in 2012. So here’s a look at one of the first retro drops for next year, another round of ’Fire Red’ Air Jordan Vs slated to arrive on the last Saturday in January. These look pristine as your front lawn on a snow day thanks to a lack of heel embroidery and really open themselves up to some creative custom expressions, but there’s nothing quite like an impeccable original. Have a closer look below, let us know how your ’13 shopping list is shaping up as we continue to preview next year’s hottest releases here on Sneaker News and check back with us for updates.

Attentive Jordanheads have known for some time to expect a serious run of Air Jordan V Retros next year for the 23rd anniversary (just as with this year’s complete run of OG AJ4s), and here’s a new look at the first one up for the new year. Releasing in late January will be the ‘Fire Red’ Air Jordan 5, a popular 1990 original last seen paired with the AJXVIII in ’08′s Countdown Pack. They don’t have the ’23′ heel embroidery like those CDPs but do keep with the original blocking instead of the roughly opposite concoction we’d seen among the other spring 2013 Air Jordan Retros in a June preview. We still have a ways to go to get to the next round of Q1 drops including a jam-packed holiday season, but new images of the Fire Red Fives follow the jump below and Sneaker News will keep you up to date the whole way.
The Air Jordan V is getting a little crazy in the near future. There’s that GS version donning a strawberry red upper and then of course the all-over elephant print look that caused quite a stir when the images first popped up. Fear not though, as at least on OG look is in store: the white/black/red that last popped up as part of the Countdown Pack. To help you out with the long wait we’ve spotted the first teaser shot of the sneakers, one that shows that they will arrive without the ’23′ hit on the side. Click through for the full photo and let us know where you rank this Air Jordan V release in terms of the 2013 retros we already know about. And as always, stick with Sneaker News for more photos ahead of the January 26th release date.
