FAQs

What is the primary material of the Air Jordan 5 Retro OG "White Metallic"?

The primary material is supple white leather for the uppers.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, these are best considered lifestyle sneakers for comfort and style in daily wear. They are not designed for the demands of modern performance basketball.

How should I clean the icy outsole?

Gently wipe the icy outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used with caution.

Does the tongue light up or have special features?

The tongue is made of a reflective material that appears bright under direct light, but it does not have electronic features.

What does the '23' embroidery signify?

The '23' embroidery on the heel is a nod to Michael Jordan's iconic jersey number.

How does the cushioning work?

The shoe features visible Nike Air units in the heel, providing responsive cushioning and shock absorption.

What is the MPN for this specific model?

The MPN for this model is HQ7978-103.

Troubleshooting

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Minor scuffs on white leather

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser (used very gently) can be effective.

Yellowing on icy outsole

Yellowing can occur over time due to oxidation. While it cannot be fully reversed, gentle cleaning with a mild solution and protecting from prolonged UV exposure may help slow the process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes straight out of the box. No setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed as a men's trainer, suitable for adult foot sizes. They are compatible with casual wear and athletic-inspired fashion.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Lining: Spot clean the interior with a damp cloth if necessary. Allow to air dry completely.
  3. Outsole: Clean the icy outsole with a damp cloth. Stubborn marks may be removed with a magic eraser, used gently.
