FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for basketball?
While based on a performance basketball silhouette, this collaboration is intended as a lifestyle fashion item and lacks the modern cushioning/durability for competitive play.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently brush with a dry, soft brush. Avoid water or liquid cleaners to prevent staining or material degradation.
Does the reflective tongue wear off?
The 3M reflective material is durable, but avoid scratching the surface to maintain its full reflective properties.
Will the translucent sole yellow over time?
Yes, translucent materials on sneakers naturally oxidize when exposed to air and light. Proper storage is essential.
What is the inspiration behind this shoe?
Virgil Abloh designed this shoe to pay homage to the original Air Jordan 5 Black Metallic, the first Jordan model he ever owned.
Troubleshooting
Translucent sole showing early signs of yellowing
Store away from UV light and consider using sole protectors to minimize oxidation.
Dirt stuck in the mesh panels
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris; avoid using liquids that could soak into the inner lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the unique textile mesh and aged translucent outsole, keeping your Jordan 5 Off-White pair in pristine condition requires a proactive approach. Avoid exposing the shoes to direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent premature yellowing of the translucent components. Clean the mesh upper only with a soft, dry cloth or a sneaker-specific dry brush to prevent dirt from embedding into the fabric. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemical detergents, as these can damage the synthetic mesh and affect the transparency of the window inserts. When storing, keep the shoes in a cool, dry environment with protective paper to maintain their structure.
