FAQs

What materials are the Air Jordan 5 Retro OG "Grape" sneakers made from?

These sneakers feature a smooth white leather upper, a durable rubber sole, and translucent netting on the side panels.

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball?

While the original Air Jordan 5 was a performance basketball shoe, this retro edition is primarily intended for casual wear and fashion. We do not recommend them for high-performance athletic activities to preserve their condition and aesthetic.

How do I best clean the white leather on my sneakers?

For general dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather sneaker cleaner with a soft brush, following the product's instructions. A protective spray can also help prevent future stains.

What does 'OG Nike Air branding' mean?

OG stands for 'Original,' meaning the branding on these sneakers, specifically the 'Nike Air' logo, replicates the design and placement found on the very first release of the Air Jordan 5 in 1990, providing an authentic vintage touch.

Do these sneakers come with any special packaging?

Yes, the Air Jordan 5 Retro OG "Grape" typically comes with special throwback packaging, enhancing the nostalgic experience for collectors.

How should I store these sneakers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees will help maintain their shape and prevent creasing, especially important for the leather upper.

Troubleshooting

White leather stains easily

Wipe off dirt and stains immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner designed for leather. Regular protective sprays can help prevent stains.

Creasing on the toe box

Ensure you have the correct size to minimize creasing. Use shoe trees when storing the sneakers to help maintain their shape. Avoid excessively tight lacing around the toe area.

Translucent netting becoming discoloured or yellowing

This is a common issue over time. Clean gently with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. Avoid direct sunlight during storage to slow down the yellowing process. Specialized products exist for reversing yellowing, but results vary.

Squeaking sound from the sole

Often caused by air trapped between the insole and outsole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of talcum powder underneath the insole to reduce friction.
