FAQs

What does 'OG' mean in the product title?

'OG' typically refers to an original or original-style release of a sneaker model, often maintaining the closest resemblance to the very first version that hit the market.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or consult a foot measurement guide. The Jordan Air 5 Retro OG (UK 11) is listed, but comparing your foot length to the chart is recommended for accuracy.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage and featuring basketball-bred traction, these are primarily considered lifestyle or casual wear trainers due to their collectible nature and premium materials. For serious basketball play, dedicated performance basketball shoes are recommended.

How do I care for the reflective tongue?

The reflective tongue should be cleaned gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning agents, as this could damage the reflective coating.

What is the significance of the '23' embroidery?

The '23' embroidery is a direct reference to Michael Jordan's iconic jersey number during his career with the Chicago Bulls.

Will the icy outsole turn yellow?

Icy soles can naturally yellow over time due to oxidation. Proper storage and cleaning can help slow this process, but some yellowing is a common characteristic of translucent outsoles.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or tightness

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the issue persists after initial wear, the leather may need time to break in, or consider using thinner socks.

White leather appearing dirty

Wipe down with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For stubborn marks, specialized leather cleaning products might be required. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Icy outsole becoming discolored

Discoloration of icy soles over time is a natural characteristic. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or sunlight. Regular cleaning can help maintain clarity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard adult foot sizes. They are suitable for casual wear and light athletic activities.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the pristine white leather, use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and dust regularly. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent discoloration and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the white leather.
