FAQs

What does 'OG' mean for this Air Jordan 5 release?

'OG' (Original) refers to the inclusion of the 'Nike Air' branding on the heel, which matches the original 1990 release, along with a shape and detailing that closely mirrors the initial blueprint.

Can I wear these for playing basketball?

While originally a basketball shoe, the 2025 'Grape' retro is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. It's not designed with the same performance technologies as modern basketball shoes.

How do I best clean the white leather material?

Use a soft, damp cloth for light cleaning. For deeper dirt, apply a specialized leather sneaker cleaner with a soft brush or cloth, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Will the translucent soles yellow over time?

Yes, translucent icy soles naturally yellow due to exposure to air and UV light. Storing your shoes in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight can help slow down this process.

What materials are used in the upper of this shoe?

The upper primarily consists of premium white leather, providing both durability and a classic aesthetic.

What is the release date for this model?

The Air Jordan 5 Retro OG "Grape" (2025) was released on June 21, 2025.

Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the Air Jordan 5 offers good comfort for everyday, casual wear, thanks to its cushioning and supportive structure. They are suitable for walking and daily activities.

Troubleshooting

White leather uppers appear dull or dirty.

Clean the leather gently with a soft cloth and a dedicated leather sneaker cleaner. For light dust, a slightly damp cloth may suffice. Avoid abrasive scrubbing.

Translucent icy soles are starting to yellow.

Yellowing is a natural process for translucent soles due to oxidation and UV exposure. Store your shoes away from direct sunlight. Specialized sole-whitening products exist, but results vary.

Creasing on the toe box area.

Creasing is common with leather shoes. To minimize it, use shoe trees when the shoes are not being worn. Avoid excessive bending or oversized steps when walking.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder underneath it. Ensure no debris is trapped in the outsole.

Difficulty in keeping the "Grape Ice" and "New Emerald" colors vibrant.

These accent colors are generally durable. Keep them clean by wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners that could strip the color or material.

The "grape ice" and "new emerald" accents allow for creative matching with clothing that features similar cool tones or contrasts well with white.

Care

Proper care will preserve the iconic look and longevity of your Air Jordan 5s.

  • White Leather Uppers:
  1. Gently wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt.
  2. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather sneaker cleaner and a soft brush or cloth. Apply the cleaner sparingly and wipe away residue immediately.
  3. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather.
  4. Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  • Translucent Icy Soles:
  1. Clean regularly with a soft brush and mild soap and water to remove dirt.
  2. To minimize yellowing, store your sneakers in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and harsh fluorescent lights.
  3. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • General Care:
  1. Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce creasing.
  2. Store in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
  3. Avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage materials and construction.
