FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find that the Jordan 5 Retro fits true to size, though the leather can feel snug initially.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball, these are retro trainers designed for lifestyle wear. Modern performance basketball shoes are recommended for competitive play.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a gentle leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant but not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light using shoe trees to help them retain their silhouette.
Do these shoes come with different lace options?
Standard factory laces are included. You can replace them with other styles, but ensure the length is appropriate for the high-top fit.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for leather shoes. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creasing.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Sole losing traction
Check the outsole for debris or small stones caught in the tread; wipe the bottom with a damp cloth to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Jordan 5 Retro trainers in top condition, proper care is essential. Given the white leather finish, it is recommended to use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dust after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural adhesives. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing. Ensure you choose the correct UK sizing to avoid unnecessary creasing or discomfort during the initial weeks of wear.
