FAQs

When were these Air Jordan 5s originally released?

The original Air Jordan 5 'Fire Red' colorway was first released in 1990.

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Fire Red' 2020?

The primary material is a white leather upper, complemented by netted underlays, a silver 3M reflective tongue, and a rubber midsole and outsole.

How do I clean the icy translucent outsole?

Use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the material or cause discoloration.

Does the tongue reflect light?

Yes, the silver tongue features 3M reflective material, designed to reflect under direct light sources like a camera flash.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

While they offer good cushioning for casual wear, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers rather than performance basketball shoes for intense athletic activity.

What does 'OG' mean in relation to this release?

'OG' stands for 'Original Gangster' and refers to a release that is a faithful reproduction of the sneaker's initial launch colorway and design.

What is the sizing like for the Air Jordan 5 Retro?

Jordan Brand sizing is generally consistent, but it's always recommended to consult a size chart and consider the break-in period. This guide specifically addresses the UK 16 size.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period of several wears. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly without being overly tight. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.

Scuffs or dirt on the white leather

Clean immediately with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Yellowing on the translucent outsole

This is a natural aging process for translucent rubber. While it cannot be fully reversed, keeping the shoes clean and out of direct sunlight can slow the process. Specialized cleaners might offer minor improvements but proceed with caution.

3M reflective tongue not reflecting

Ensure the tongue is exposed to a direct light source. The reflectivity is designed to activate under flash photography or direct, strong light, not in ambient light.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
