Same, they just look a little weird to me. I wish the black tongues would come out.

^^ The black tongues you can find on ebay though. I picked up 2 pairs separately through ebay, and almost a 3rd pair.

As stated before, not fire red. Sole is clean but the sneaker looks completely funny. If anyone figures out what it is, please let me know!

I always called these white metallics whats up with these being called fire red I thought that was only the black tongue joints strictly

Well the original name of the colorway was White/Black/Fire Red. These came out in February of 1990, and the ones you're talking about with the mostly Fire Red midsole came out in November of 1990 I'm pretty sure. So my guess is that people started calling this version the "Fire Reds" before the other ones came out. It is funny though, people say "Fire Reds" and nobody knows immediately which of these OG colorways they're talking about.

Making the midsole look navy instead of black.

Welcome to niketalk rookie
there are two AJ5 called firereds.
1. White/black-fire red which were released
During the ASG 1990 as the very first colorway
Of the AJ5. This colorway was retroed in 2000
And with slightly alterations as part of the CDP.
this one is coming back in 2013. But unlike the
OGs and previous retros, they will have varsity red
Instead of fire red which is less vibrant and darker.
2. White/fire red-black was released in late 1990
For the first half of the NBA season 1990/91.
these hada black tongue, fire red midsoles,
Black ridges and a 23 at the heel.
These were retroed in 2006, already with a
Jumpman at the heel and jordan lettering
On the outsole instead of nike.

Best pics so far. Shape looks good imo but the blue soles does make them look peculiar imo. They are not bad but I'm going to pass on these because of so much heat coming out early next year.
