Air Jordan 5 Retro - White - UK 16

While originally a basketball shoe, this 2025 retro edition is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Its materials and design are not optimized for the demands of modern competitive basketball.

OG refers to 'Original Gangster,' indicating that the shoe features the authentic Nike Air logo on the heel, identical to what appeared on the 1990 release of the Air Jordan 5, rather than the later Jumpman logo.

To minimize yellowing, clean the soles regularly with a mild sneaker cleaner and store your shoes in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight or UV exposure, which can accelerate oxidation. Specialized sole protectors can also be used.

The uppers of the Air Jordan 5 Retro Grape (2025) are primarily constructed from clean white leather.

This particular edition of the Jordan 5 Retro Grape was released on June 21, 2025.

This is a natural oxidation process, but you can slow it down. Regularly clean the soles with a gentle sneaker sole cleaner and keep the shoes stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and UV light. Specialized sole restoration products can sometimes reverse minor yellowing.

Use a soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth with a dedicated sneaker cleaner for leather. Gently scrub the affected areas and wipe clean. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser can be used with extreme caution on leather, ensuring not to rub too hard or remove the finish.

Creasing is natural with wear on leather shoes. To minimize it, ensure you have the correct size fit. Using shoe trees when storing your sneakers helps to maintain their shape and stretch out minor creases.

Ensure you have the correct UK size 16. Leather can soften and stretch slightly with wear. If discomfort persists, consider checking your lacing technique; sometimes a looser lace can improve comfort.
