FAQs

When were these sneakers originally released?

The iconic Air Jordan 5 in the OG Fire Red colorway was originally released in 1990.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather.

Does the tongue have reflective material?

Yes, the tongue is made of silver 3M reflective material and features a red Jumpman logo.

What is the main color of the midsole?

The midsole features a combination of black and Fire Red detailing.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these retro trainers are best suited for lifestyle and casual wear due to their collectible nature and modern design updates focused on aesthetics.

How should I clean the icy translucent sole?

Wipe the translucent sole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch or damage the finish. Be aware that yellowing over time is a natural aging process for translucent rubber.

What does 'OG' mean in 'OG Fire Red colorway'?

'OG' stands for 'Original Gangster' and refers to the original colorway and design as it was first released.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal parts. Try loosening and re-tightening the laces. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Yellowing of the translucent outsole

This is a common aging effect for translucent rubbers due to oxidation. It can be slowed by proper storage away from light and heat, but is difficult to reverse completely. Specialized cleaning solutions may offer minor improvements.

Creasing on the leather upper

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes and avoid over-tightening laces.

Difficulty lacing up

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If the eyelets feel tight, gently work the laces back and forth.

Care Instructions:

  2. Suede/Nubuck (if applicable to specific parts): Use a suede brush to maintain the texture. For stains, specialized suede cleaners are recommended.
