Troubleshooting
Visible dust on the black nubuck upper
Use a specialized dry suede or nubuck brush to gently lift and remove surface dust.
Icy outsole is starting to look yellow
Yellowing is a natural aging process for translucent soles; keep away from direct sunlight to slow this effect.
Lace lock mechanism is stuck
Gently press the center button of the lock to release the tension before adjusting the cord length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard size, as the Air Jordan 5 provides a standard athletic volume. To maintain the condition of your trainers, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust after each wear. If the nubuck becomes marked, use a dedicated suede or nubuck cleaning eraser rather than liquid cleaners which can damage the nap. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the clear icy outsole from premature yellowing.
