MJ?s exclusives featured an embroidered #23 on the side, an attribute that was attached to the final original release of the AJ5 (the White\/Fire Red-Black colorway), and later referenced on retro installments.<\/p>\n Will Smith in the Air Jordan 5 White\/Black-Fire Red (screenshot via Complex<\/a>)\nRelease History<\/h2>\n
