Jordan 5 Retro Off-White Sail

The Jordan 5 Retro Off-White Sail stands as a masterful collaboration between Jordan Brand and Virgil Abloh’s Off-White label, reinterpreting the classic 1990 Air Jordan 5 with innovative design and artisanal craftsmanship. The shoe is built on a tonal sail colourway, constructed from lightweight mesh and ripstop textiles that emphasize breathability and durability. Exposed foam elements on the tongue and collar reveal a deconstructed aesthetic, complemented by Off-White’s signature Helvetica branding along the medial side.

Distinctive features include the signature plastic zip tie, transparent icy sole with pre-yellowing effect, and a jagged midsole design mirroring the original “shark teeth.” Red accents appear on the lace lock and embroidered “23” on the heel, adding a pop of colour and reinforcing the model’s heritage connection. Michael Jordan’s iconic silhouette is balanced with contemporary streetwear flair, a hallmark of Abloh’s creative vision.

This limited edition release offers responsive Air cushioning and a padded interior that optimizes comfort on and off the court. Packaged in a carefully curated box with exclusive graphics, the Off-White Sail is more than a shoe—it’s an artefact that captures the spirit of innovation and cultural dialogue within sneaker culture.

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.
