FAQs

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from smooth, premium white leather, ensuring both durability and a classic aesthetic.

Does this sneaker feature genuine Nike Air cushioning?

Yes, it features visible Nike Air units embedded within the jagged midsoles, providing authentic cushioning and comfort for daily wear.

How do I properly clean the translucent netting?

To clean the translucent netting, use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the netting and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Is this model suitable for playing basketball?

While it draws its design from a classic basketball shoe and features performance-inspired elements like herringbone traction, this retro release is primarily intended for casual wear, collecting, and making a fashion statement rather than competitive modern basketball.

What kind of branding does this shoe have?

This model features OG Nike Air branding on the heels, along with 'New Emerald' Jumpman and Nike Air insignia embroideries on both the tongue and heels, celebrating its authentic heritage.

How should I store these sneakers to maintain their condition?

Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and yellowing. Using the original throwback packaging or shoe boxes with silica gel packets can help preserve their condition and shape.

Are the sizes listed in US or UK sizing?

The product information for this variant specifies UK sizing. Please refer to a conversion chart if you need to determine your equivalent size in US or EU measurements.

What do 'Grape Ice' and 'New Emerald' refer to?

These are the distinctive, vibrant accent colors used on the sneaker's details, such as the midsole, Jumpman logo, and lining. They are iconic to this particular colorway and pay homage to Michael Jordan’s North Carolina roots and the original 1990 release.

Troubleshooting

Yellowing of translucent netting or outsoles

This is a natural aging process for translucent materials, often accelerated by UV exposure. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and store in a cool, dry place. Specialized cleaning products for yellowed soles may offer some improvement, but complete reversal is difficult.

Leather creasing on the toe box

Creasing is a natural occurrence with wear on leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees or stuff your sneakers with acid-free paper when not wearing them. Avoid excessively tight lacing, which can put more stress on the toe box area.

Loss of grip on the outsoles

Ensure the herringbone traction pattern is clean. Dirt and debris can accumulate in the grooves, reducing grip. Clean the outsoles thoroughly with a brush and mild soap. If the soles are significantly worn smooth, their optimal traction performance may be permanently reduced.

Stains on the white leather

Address stains immediately. Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of specialized leather cleaner. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous spot first. Avoid harsh rubbing.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the pristine condition of your Air Jordan 5 Retro OG 'Grape':

  1. Cleaning Leather Upper: Gently wipe the white leather upper with a soft, damp cloth using a mild shoe cleaner solution. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow its instructions. Avoid abrasive materials.
  2. Translucent Netting Care: Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) with mild soap and water to carefully clean the translucent netting. Gently scrub in one direction and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing which could damage the material.
  3. Sole Care: Clean the icy outsoles with a brush to remove dirt and maintain the herringbone traction pattern. For deeper cleaning, mild soap and water can be used.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause yellowing of the translucent netting and outsoles. Using the original throwback packaging or shoe boxes with silica gel packets can help preserve their condition.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and textile footwear. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your sneakers, as this can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure.
