Best Air Jordan 5 Colorways for Kids

"Fire Red" (white, red, and black) is a favorite – the bright red against the white leather pops. "Black Metallic" (black, red, and grey) is tuffer and more understated. "Grape" (white, purple, and turquoise) is unique and colorful – perfect for kids who want to stand out. "White Metallic" (white and silver) is clean and elegant.

How to Care for the Reflective Tongue on Kids' Shoes

The 3M reflective tongue is delicate – only clean it with a dry microfiber cloth. Never use water or cleaning solutions – they can damage the reflective coating. The icy outsole will yellow over time, which is normal. To slow yellowing, store shoes away from sunlight. The shark-tooth midsole can be wiped with a damp cloth.
