FAQs

What year was the original Air Jordan 5 released?

The original Air Jordan 5 was first introduced in 1990.

What inspired the design of the Air Jordan 5?

The design was inspired by WWII fighter planes, particularly the shark-tooth detailing seen on the midsole.

How should I clean the reflective tongue?

Gently wipe the reflective tongue with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While designed with basketball heritage, this retro release is primarily intended for lifestyle wear. For intense athletic performance, consider models specifically engineered for modern basketball play.

How can I maintain the 'icy' outsole?

To prevent yellowing, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean the outsole regularly with a mild cleaner and ensure it's completely dry before storage.

What is the primary color scheme of this retro release?

The primary color scheme is white with metallic silver and black accents.

Does this release include the original packaging?

Retro releases typically aim for authenticity and often come with packaging reminiscent of the original release, though specific details may vary by year.

Troubleshooting

Outsole appears to be yellowing

This is a common occurrence with 'icy' outsoles over time due to oxidation. Store shoes away from direct light and clean the outsole gently with a specialized sole cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water, followed by rinsing and thorough drying.

Laces feel stiff or dirty

Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.

Creasing on the upper material

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when storing the shoes and avoid overly tight lacing that can exacerbate pressure points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup. As footwear, they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Outsole: The icy outsole should be kept clean and dry when not in use. Exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods can contribute to yellowing. Storing them in a cool, dry place, away from light, is recommended.
  • Tongue: The reflective tongue can be gently wiped with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light.
