FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the Air Jordan 5 Retro fits true to size, though personal preference for a snug or loose fit may dictate your sizing choice.
Can I use these for professional basketball?
While originally designed as a performance shoe, modern technology has advanced significantly; these are now better suited for lifestyle and casual use.
How do I prevent the clear outsole from yellowing?
Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight when not wearing them, as UV rays contribute to the oxidation process that yellows clear rubber.
What is the material composition?
The upper is primarily constructed from premium, durable leather with textile elements for breathability.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively standard, but the leather construction may stretch slightly over time to accommodate the wearer's foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Dirt buildup on the translucent outsole
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit with a soft brush to gently scrub the outsole after each wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 5 Retro trainers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing or the translucent outsole from prematurely oxidising. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush and a mild sneaker-safe cleaning solution on the leather components. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. For the outsole, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth is typically sufficient to remove dust and surface debris. Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried away from direct heat sources before their next wear to maintain the shape of the materials.
