FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Air Jordan 5 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those preferring a wider fit may consider going up half a size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never put suede footwear in a washing machine, as the water and agitation will permanently destroy the material.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium suede, providing a soft texture and a high-end look.
How often should I use a water repellent spray?
Re-apply a suede-safe water repellent every 3 to 6 months depending on how frequently the shoes are worn and the local weather conditions.
Does the iridescent detail fade?
With proper care and by avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces, the iridescent accent will remain vibrant for the life of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Surface dust or lint accumulation
Gently use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush in a single direction to lift particles without damaging the pile.
Minor scuffs on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser, rubbing gently back and forth until the scuff disappears.
Suede feels flat or matted
Lightly steam the affected area from a distance and brush with a clean suede brush to restore the nap.
