Description
The Jordan 5 Retro Medium Soft Pink stands out as a special 35th anniversary release, merging heritage details with a fresh, feminine palette. Crafted with a premium white leather upper finished in reflective 3M, the pair honours Tinker Hatfield’s original 1990 AJ5 design with iconic elements such as the bump-out collar, jagged “shark tooth” midsole and “23” embroidery at the heel. Accents of Medium Soft Pink appear on the midsole’s teeth, liner, Jumpman logo and the Nike Air branding at the heel, complemented by contrasting black hits on the midsole and eyestays.
The translucent icy outsole brings a modern touch and reveals the Jumpman graphic beneath, while visible Nike Air cushioning guarantees comfort and impact protection. Only white laces are included, ensuring a crisp, clean finish, while the overall shape pays tribute to MJ’s aggressive, high-flying on-court legacy. This commemorative edition is released in full family sizing and arrives in a special box with pink and cement print details, further elevating its collectability.
With its blend of classic construction and subtle pastel touches, this pair is a fresh artefact linking basketball history and contemporary style.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
