FAQs

When did the Air Jordan 5 'White Metallic' originally release?

The original release of this colorway was in 2000.

What does the '23' embroidery signify?

The '23' embroidery is a direct reference to Michael Jordan's iconic jersey number when he played for the Chicago Bulls.

Are the Nike Air branding on the heel authentic to the original 2000 release?

The Nike Air branding on the heel is a feature of this particular retro release, mirroring early Air Jordan 5 models, though not all retros include this detail.

Can I wear these for basketball?

While they feature basketball-inspired design elements and traction, they are best suited for lifestyle and casual wear. For serious basketball performance, a dedicated performance basketball shoe is recommended.

How do I clean the icy soles?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. A magic eraser can be used carefully for tough marks, but avoid excessive scrubbing.

What is the material of the upper?

The uppers are constructed from supple white leather.

Is the tongue reflective?

Yes, the tongue units are designed to be reflective and feature the Jumpman insignia.

Troubleshooting

Discoloration of icy outsole

Icy outsoles can naturally yellow over time due to oxidation. Store away from sunlight. Minor yellowing can sometimes be reduced with specialized cleaning products, but significant discoloration is often permanent.

Creasing on leather upper

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize its appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly bending the shoe when walking.

Reflective tongue losing reflectivity

Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods on the reflective material. Gentle wiping with a soft cloth is recommended.

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the official Jordan size chart for conversions. If purchased online, check the retailer's return policy for exchanges. Consider the width of your foot when selecting a size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic and sought-after colorway with significant retro appeal.
  • Premium leather construction ensures durability and a high-quality feel.
  • Visible Air units provide comfortable and responsive cushioning.
  • Classic design elements like shark teeth and reflective tongue add to its aesthetic value.
  • Excellent traction and support suitable for casual wear or light athletic activities.

Cons

  • As a collectible, the 'White Metallic' colorway might be prioritized for display over heavy use.
  • White leather can be prone to scuffs and requires diligent cleaning to maintain its appearance.
  • May be a higher price point due to its retro and collectible status.
  • Specific Nike Air branding on the heel is a feature of this retro, not always present on all Jordan 5 models.
  • Sizing can vary, so trying them on or consulting size charts is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Available in various adult UK sizes. It is recommended to check a size guide or try them on for the best fit, as sizing can vary slightly between releases.
  • Intended Use: Primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they possess basketball-inspired features, they are not intended for professional athletic performance.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Uppers: For the white leather uppers, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges. For tougher stains, a dedicated sneaker cleaner and a soft brush can be used sparingly. Avoid excessive water.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean the icy outsole and midsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the outsole, a magic eraser can be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging the material.
  • Tongue and Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed. The reflective tongue should be cleaned gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth to preserve its reflectivity.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
