FAQs

Does this shoe feature the 'Nike Air' logo on the heel?

Yes, the 2016 'Metallic' release includes the classic 'Nike Air' logo on the heel.

Is the tongue reflective?

Yes, the sneaker features a signature 3M reflective tongue.

How do I best clean the nubuck upper?

Use a dry nubuck-safe brush. Avoid using water or liquid cleaning solutions as they can damage the material.

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While originally designed as performance basketball sneakers, they are currently marketed primarily as lifestyle footwear.

Why does the outsole look yellow?

Translucent rubber outsoles naturally oxidize over time, leading to a yellow tint; this is a common characteristic of the material.

Does the sneaker fit true to size?

The Air Jordan 5 generally fits true to size, but personal preference for snug or loose fit may vary.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust on nubuck upper

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently sweep away particles in one direction.

Icy outsole beginning to yellow

Store in a dark, moisture-controlled environment and consider professional de-yellowing treatments if necessary.

General scuffs on leather/nubuck

Use a specialized eraser for nubuck/suede, scrubbing very lightly to avoid discoloration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Faithful reproduction of the 1990 OG design
  • High-quality nubuck material construction
  • Signature reflective 3M tongue adds iconic visual appeal
  • Includes authentic 'Nike Air' heel branding

Cons

  • Nubuck material is susceptible to staining and water damage
  • Translucent icy outsoles are prone to yellowing over time
  • Lighter wear recommended to preserve the nubuck finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Jordan 5s stay in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent premature yellowing of the icy outsole. For the nubuck upper, avoid liquid cleaners; use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede or nubuck to remove dust and dirt gently. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from heat sources. Ensure you match your UK sizing accurately, as the Jordan 5 tends to fit true to size for most adult foot shapes.
