FAQs

What is the main color of the Air Jordan 5 Retro Low 'Indigo Haze'?

The main color is a gentle purple on the reflective upper, accented with cream and dark grey.

Is this shoe suitable for running or basketball?

This shoe is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. It is not optimized for high-impact sports like running or basketball.

How do I clean the reflective upper?

Gently wipe the reflective upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What does 'Retro Low' mean?

'Retro' refers to a re-release or updated version of a classic design, and 'Low' indicates that the shoe's cut is below the ankle, unlike the original high-top version.

Does the upper material actually reflect light?

Yes, the upper features reflective material that becomes more visible when light shines directly on it.

What year was the 'Indigo Haze' colorway released?

The 'Indigo Haze' colorway was released on June 8th, 2023.

Can I wear these with athletic socks?

Yes, these shoes can be worn with various types of socks, including athletic socks, for added comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have purchased the correct size. If slightly snug, wearing them with thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher for a short period might help. For significant tightness, consider if a larger size is needed.

Reflective material is not as bright as expected

The reflectivity is dependent on the light source. Ensure you are in a low-light environment with a direct light source hitting the upper for maximum effect.

Translucent outsole has scuffs or discoloration

Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a magic eraser (use gently). Discoloration may be permanent; regular cleaning after wear can help prevent deep-set stains.

Leather appears dry

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a soft cloth to moisturize the leather components, following the product's instructions.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Air Jordan 5 Retro Low:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the reflective and leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or reflectivity.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clean the midsole, especially the shark teeth details, and the translucent outsole. For stubborn marks on the outsole, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can warp the materials.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
