Product Information

Full details

This guide is for sneaker enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate iconic footwear with a blend of style and history. The key benefit is owning a piece of basketball heritage with a clean, cult-favourite colourway that offers both visual appeal and comfortable wear. A potential caveat is the limited availability of specific retro releases. The Air Jordan 5 Retro 'White Metallic' is constructed from supple white leather uppers, featuring padded ankle collars, reflective tongue units with Jumpman insignias, and '23' embroidery. It includes Nike Air branding on the heels, shark-tooth midsole detailing with visible Nike Air Units, and icy outsoles with herringbone traction for basketball-inspired grip.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Some creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.

Yellowing of icy outsole

Icy outsoles can naturally yellow over time due to oxidation. Store away from direct sunlight and use specialized outsole cleaners if necessary.

Reflective tongue losing reflectivity

The reflectivity is a coating. Avoid excessive rubbing or abrasive cleaning on the tongue material.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Check lacing for tightness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As footwear, the Air Jordan 5 'White Metallic' requires no setup. They are compatible with standard adult foot sizes.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the crisp white leather, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a dedicated sneaker cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. It is recommended to keep them in their original box or a protective shoe bag.
  • Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately if needed.
