FAQs
Is the Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red (2020) true to size?
Most users find that the Jordan 5 fits true to size, but those who prefer a roomier fit might consider sizing up by half a size.
How do I clean the 3M reflective tongue?
Gently wipe the tongue with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive brushes to prevent damage to the reflective coating.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While originally designed as performance basketball shoes, modern collectors typically reserve this retro release for lifestyle and casual use.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Keep them in a temperature-controlled environment, preferably in a shoe box with silica gel packets to manage moisture.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
No, the leather is not waterproof. It is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use a sneaker shield or shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help maintain the leather structure.
Yellowing of the translucent outsole
Store away from UV light and consider using specialized sole whitening agents, though some yellowing is natural over time.
Scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that might strip the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Jordan 5 Retros in pristine condition, regular care is essential. Use a soft-bristled brush and mild cleaning solution to remove surface dust from the leather upper. For the translucent outsole, avoid abrasive cleaners; instead, wipe it down with a damp cloth after use to prevent oxidation and yellowing. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can accelerate the aging of the reflective materials and the sole. If you are fitting these for size, ensure you are wearing the appropriate sock thickness to avoid creasing the leather at the toe box.
