Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Air Jordan 5 Retros in optimal condition, focus on proper storage and cleaning methods. Since the upper is made of nubuck, avoid using water-heavy cleaning solutions; instead, opt for a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and a specialized nubuck eraser for deeper stains. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the midsole foam from degrading and the icy outsole from yellowing prematurely. Using sneaker trees can help maintain the shape of the toe box when the shoes are not being worn.
