FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX features a GORE-TEX membrane designed to be waterproof and breathable, offering protection from the elements.

How should I clean the GORE-TEX material?

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners and ensure the shoes are air-dried naturally.

Can I wear these in snow?

While they offer significant water resistance, they are primarily designed for rain and damp conditions. For heavy snow, additional winter-specific footwear might be more appropriate.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The 3M reflective elements are integrated into the design and are generally durable with proper care. Avoid excessive rubbing or abrasion on these areas.

What is the main difference between this and a standard Air Jordan 1?

The primary difference is the inclusion of the GORE-TEX waterproof membrane and a construction focused on weather resistance, along with reflective detailing.

What material are the overlays made of?

The overlays are made of a combination of leather and tonal grey Durabuck.

What does 'Element' in the name signify?

The 'Element' designation highlights the shoe's enhanced features for protection against environmental elements, such as GORE-TEX waterproofing.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through seams

Ensure all seams are clean and free from debris. For persistent issues, consider professional waterproofing treatment suitable for technical fabrics, though GORE-TEX is designed to be inherently waterproof.

Reduced breathability

The GORE-TEX membrane can become blocked by dirt or residue. Gently clean the exterior with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure inner lining is dry before wearing.

Creasing on leather or Durabuck

Creasing is natural with leather and Durabuck. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and store shoes upright with shoe trees if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX requires no setup beyond wearing. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of adult wardrobes. Their weather-resistant nature makes them suitable for pairing with jeans, trousers, or other casual attire, regardless of the weather.

Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane and materials:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water to clean the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials and GORE-TEX membrane.
  3. Waterproofing: While GORE-TEX is inherently waterproof, avoid submersion. Periodically check and clean the seams and laces for debris that might compromise integrity.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity.
