FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball shoes, the Air Jordan 5 Retro OG is primarily designed for casual wear and collecting. Its construction and premium materials are best preserved by avoiding high-impact athletic activities.
How do I ensure the translucent soles stay clear?
To minimize yellowing, limit exposure to direct sunlight and store the shoes in a cool, dark, and dry place. Regular gentle cleaning with mild soap and water can also help maintain their appearance.
What size should I order if I usually wear a US size?
This product is listed in UK sizing. A UK size 6 typically corresponds to a US men's size 7. Always refer to a size conversion chart or try on a similar Air Jordan model if unsure.
Is the 'Nike Air' branding on the heel true to the original?
Yes, this reissue features the authentic 'Nike Air' branding on the heel, meticulously replicating the original 1990 design.
Can I clean the leather upper with regular shoe polish?
It's best to use cleaners specifically designed for premium leather sneakers. Regular shoe polish may contain dyes or chemicals that could alter the white leather's appearance. A soft, damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized leather cleaner is recommended.
What makes this 'OG'?
'OG' stands for 'Original,' meaning this release closely replicates the design, materials, and branding of the shoe's first release in 1990, including the specific 'Grape' colorway and Nike Air heel logo.
Is this shoe comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, crafted with premium leather, these sneakers offer superior comfort for everyday, all-day casual wear. The design ensures a supportive fit, though individual comfort can vary.
When was this model originally released?
The Air Jordan 5 Retro OG 'Grape' was originally released in 1990. This specific reissue pays homage to that iconic model.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dirty or stained.
Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a pH-neutral leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Translucent icy soles are starting to yellow.
Yellowing is a natural process for translucent soles over time, especially with UV exposure. To slow this, store sneakers in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Specialized 'de-yellowing' sole restorers can be used, but success varies and should be applied carefully.
Squeaking sound from the sole.
This can sometimes occur from air pockets or friction. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. If persistent, it might indicate an internal sole issue; however, this is rare for new sneakers.

Care
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Sole Care: Clean the translucent icy soles with a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt. To minimize yellowing, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store in a cool, dark place.
- Storage: Store in its original box or a breathable shoe bag in a dry environment to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape. Use shoe trees to help preserve the silhouette.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to repel water and stains, especially on the white leather.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the leather or sole.
