FAQs
How should I clean the snakeskin texture?
Wipe the textured areas gently with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid scrubbing with stiff brushes to prevent damaging the pattern.
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
It is not recommended. Moisture can damage the suede upper and potentially cause the iridescent finishes to dull.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store them in the original box or a breathable sneaker storage container in a climate-controlled room.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Air Jordan 5 typically fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit, some users opt for a half-size up, but your standard UK size is the best starting point.
Are the iridescent accents prone to peeling?
With normal wear and proper care, the accents are durable, but avoid harsh rubbing or contact with rough surfaces to maintain their integrity.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede upper
Gently use a dry suede brush in one direction to lift dirt; avoid using water.
Scuff marks on the material
Use a specialized suede eraser to lightly buff the affected area until the mark fades.
Odour buildup from regular wear
Remove the insoles to air out and use a sneaker-specific disinfectant spray inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 5s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is crafted from delicate suede and nubuck, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces. We recommend using a suede-specific brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede eraser for spot cleaning light marks. For long-term storage, keep the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the iridescent accents. Always use a protective water and stain repellent spray formulated specifically for suede to guard against unexpected spills.
