FAQs

Is this a 1990 original or a re-release?

This is a 2016 remastered release that faithfully reproduces the original 1990 design and colorway.

Does the tongue reflect light?

Yes, the tongue features reflective 3M material that illuminates under flash or direct light.

How should I clean the nubuck upper?

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush for surface debris and a professional suede/nubuck eraser for spot cleaning. Avoid liquid cleaners if possible.

Can these be used for professional basketball?

While based on a basketball shoe, this retro model is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use; modern athletic footwear will offer better support and durability for the court.

Does the Nike Air branding appear on the heel?

Yes, this version includes the classic 'Nike Air' logo on the heel, which is a signature of the OG Metallic release.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or dirt on nubuck upper

Use a specialized dry suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap of the material.

Yellowing of the translucent outsole

Use an oxidation-reversal treatment or specialized sole brightening product, applying carefully to avoid contact with the midsole paint.

Creasing in the toe box

Insert plastic or wooden shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Air Jordan 5 Retro trainers in top condition, proper storage and cleaning are essential. Always store these shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can accelerate the yellowing of the translucent outsole. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust from the nubuck. If deep cleaning is required, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution specifically formulated for suede and nubuck, and never submerge the shoes in water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as the heat and agitation can permanently damage the materials and glue bonds.
