Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Air Jordan 5 Retro sneakers in top condition, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes. For cleaning, use a specialized nubuck cleaning brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural integrity and affect the appearance of the black nubuck. When not in use, store these trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the iconic icy outsole from oxidizing and turning yellow. Use a shoe tree to maintain the silhouette of the toe box when storing for extended periods.
