Air Jordan 1 Mid - Light Smoke Grey - Leather - UK 7.5

While the Air Jordan 1 Mid has roots in basketball, this model is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. For serious basketball play, modern performance basketball shoes offer superior cushioning, support, and technology.

Generally, Air Jordan 1 Mids fit true to size for most individuals. If you have wider feet, you might consider going up a half size for more comfort, especially during the break-in period. It's always best to try them on if possible.

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the leather. Consider applying a water-repellent spray for added protection.

The primary difference is the collar height. The Mid has a slightly lower collar than the High, offering a different aesthetic and feel around the ankle. Both are iconic silhouettes, but the High is often associated more closely with the original 1985 design.

The white mid-panel, toe, laces, and midsole can be cleaned with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. For the midsole, a magic eraser can be effective on scuffs. Ensure to wipe off any residue immediately and air dry.

The Air-Sole unit in the Air Jordan 1 Mid is integrated into the sole construction and is not designed to be replaceable by users. Its lifespan is typically expected to last for the duration of the shoe's functional life with proper care.

The squeaking might be due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with talcum powder or cornstarch, and then reinserting the insole. If it's the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.

Creasing is natural with leather shoes, especially around the toe box. To minimize this, use shoe trees when not wearing them. For existing creases, gentle conditioning with a leather conditioner can help hydrate and soften the material, reducing the appearance of minor cracks.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid, especially new leather pairs, requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially. Walking in them will help the leather soften and mold to your foot over time. Thicker socks can also help during this period.

To combat shoe odor, allow your shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally for better ventilation. You can also use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing).
