FAQs

What makes this Air Jordan 5 Retro an 'OG' release?

This 'Grape' edition is considered 'OG' because it features the authentic 'Nike Air' branding on the heel, matching the original 1990 release, and closely follows the 1990 blueprint for its silhouette and details.

Can I use these sneakers for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 5 was originally a basketball shoe, this retro release is primarily designed for fashion, casual wear, and collecting. It is not engineered with the same modern performance technology as current basketball shoes and is not recommended for high-intensity athletic activity.

How do I best preserve the white leather?

Regular, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and a dedicated leather cleaner is key. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple. Store them in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

What is the significance of the 'Grape' colorway?

The 'Grape' colorway is iconic for its bold 'grape ice' and 'new emerald' accents, which broke from traditional team colors when first released in 1990. It gained massive cultural popularity, notably being worn by Will Smith in 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air', cementing its status as a streetwear legend.

Is special packaging included with this release?

Yes, this edition comes with special throwback packaging, designed to evoke the nostalgia and era of the original 1990 release, enhancing its collector's appeal.

Are there other sizes available?

Yes, the Air Jordan 5 Retro OG 'Grape' is available in a range of adult UK sizes, including 4, 6.5, 8, 8.5, 10, 10.5, and 11, in addition to UK 13.

Troubleshooting

White leather upper is stained or dirty.

Immediately clean with a soft, damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner. For tougher stains, a soft-bristle brush designed for sneakers can be used carefully.

Translucent soles are starting to yellow.

This is a common issue for translucent rubber. Use a dedicated 'sole brightener' or 'de-yellowing' product, following the manufacturer's instructions. Storing in a cool, dark place can also help prevent future yellowing.

Creases are forming on the toe box or sides.

Insert shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain their original shape. For active prevention, consider using anti-crease shields worn inside the shoe.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and lightly dusting with baby powder before reinserting. If the squeak persists, professional shoe repair may be needed.

Care Instructions

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: For general dirt and scuffs on the white leather, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. Wipe gently in circular motions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Maintaining the Translucent Netting: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the netting, ensuring no debris is trapped.
  3. Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole and translucent outsoles with a brush and warm soapy water. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaning solution can be applied.
  4. Preventing Yellowing: While some yellowing of translucent soles is natural over time, storing the shoes in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight can help slow the process. Specific sole-restoration products can address significant yellowing.
  5. Storage: Store the sneakers in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and environmental factors. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather upper and prevent creasing.
  6. Avoid Excessive Moisture: While durable, leather can be sensitive to prolonged exposure to water. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  7. Crease Prevention: Consider using anti-crease shields or regularly inserting shoe trees when not in use.
