FAQs

How should I clean the white leather on my Air Jordan 5 Retro OG 'Grape' sneakers?

For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather. For more persistent dirt or scuffs, apply a small amount of specialized leather sneaker cleaner to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball or other sports?

While the original Air Jordan 5 was a performance basketball shoe, this Retro OG edition is primarily designed for casual wear and as a fashion statement. We do not recommend using them for competitive sports to preserve their condition and iconic design.

What does 'OG' mean in the product name?

'OG' stands for 'Original' or 'Original Release'. It signifies that this version is a re-release that closely mirrors the design, materials, and colorway of the first model released in 1990.

How can I prevent the translucent netting from yellowing over time?

Yellowing can be a natural process. To minimize it, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store your sneakers in a cool, dark place. Regular gentle cleaning of the netting can also help maintain its clarity.

Is the sizing consistent with other Air Jordan models?

Air Jordan sizing is generally consistent across models. Most users find these sneakers to fit true to size. If you are unsure, referring to a size chart or trying them on if possible is recommended.

What is the significance of the "Grape" colorway?

The "Grape" colorway, featuring Grape Ice and New Emerald accents, is one of the most iconic and original color schemes for the Air Jordan 5. It pays homage to Michael Jordan’s North Carolina roots and was instantly recognizable when first released in 1990, becoming a cultural classic.

How do I care for the special throwback packaging?

To preserve the throwback packaging, keep it in a dry environment away from moisture and direct sunlight. Handle it with care to avoid tears or creases, especially if you intend to keep it for collector's value.

Troubleshooting

Leather upper appears scuffed or dirty.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather sneaker cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.

Translucent netting looks dull or has accumulated dirt.

Use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution to gently scrub the netting. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Soles are losing their grip or have visible dirt.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a stiff brush and mild soap to remove any debris or grime that might be affecting traction.

Sneakers are developing creases in the leather.

While some creasing is natural with wear, storing your sneakers with shoe trees can help maintain their original shape. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Care Instructions

  • Leather Upper: To clean, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can damage the finish. Allow leather to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Translucent Netting: Clean the netting carefully with a soft brush and mild soap solution. Gently scrub in one direction to remove dirt without damaging the mesh. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.
  • Rubber Sole: The outsole can be cleaned with a stiff brush and mild detergent to remove dirt and maintain traction. For the midsole, use a soft cloth with a sneaker cleaner to tackle scuffs and grime.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather upper and prevent creasing. The original throwback packaging is also ideal for long-term storage to protect the sneakers.
