FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for Air Jordan 1 Mids?

Air Jordan 1 Mids generally run true to size for most individuals. It is recommended to try them on if possible. This specific pair is a UK 9.5. If purchasing online, consult a brand-specific sizing chart and consider reviews regarding fit.

Can I use these shoes for playing basketball?

While the original Air Jordan 1 was a basketball shoe, the Mid version is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For optimal performance, support, and injury prevention in basketball, modern performance basketball shoes are recommended over these.

What is the best way to clean the grey leather on these sneakers?

For routine cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with a dedicated leather sneaker cleaner. Apply the cleaner gently in circular motions, then wipe off excess with a clean, damp cloth. Always allow them to air dry completely.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these sneakers are not waterproof. They are made of leather and can withstand light splashes, but they are not designed for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. Applying a water and stain repellent spray can offer some protection.

How can I prevent the leather from getting yellow over time?

Yellowing typically affects white rubber parts (like the midsole) and is often due to oxidation from exposure to sunlight and air. Store your shoes in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Specialized 'de-yellowing' products exist for rubber, but are not for leather.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of this Air Jordan 1 Mid is constructed from premium quality leather, ensuring durability and a classic aesthetic.

Are Air Jordan 1 Mids comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, Air Jordan 1 Mids are generally considered comfortable for all-day casual wear due to their padded collar and supportive construction. However, comfort can vary based on individual foot shape and preference.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing on the toe box or sides.

Utilize shoe trees for storage to maintain the shoe's form. While wearing, consider using sneaker shields placed inside the shoe to mitigate creasing, especially if you have a pronounced stride.

Visible scuffs or dirt marks on the white leather or midsole.

For light marks, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For tougher scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush or a 'magic eraser' (used sparingly) can be effective. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking sound coming from the shoe while walking.

This often occurs due to friction between the insole and the shoe's internal sole. Remove the insole, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder underneath, then reinsert the insole. This can reduce friction and eliminate the squeak.

Overall dullness or lack of luster in the leather.

After cleaning, apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for sneakers. This will nourish the leather, restore some of its natural sheen, and help prevent it from drying out. Buff gently with a clean, soft cloth.

  • Tops: T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, casual button-downs, and light jackets.

Care Instructions

Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your leather Air Jordan 1 Mids:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and nubuck materials. This creates a protective barrier.
  2. Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust and dirt.
  3. Deep Cleaning (as needed): For more stubborn dirt or stains:
  • Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution with a soft-bristle brush (for soles) and a soft cloth (for leather).
  • Apply the solution sparingly and gently scrub affected areas. Do not saturate the leather.
  • Wipe clean with a damp, clean cloth.
  1. Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or artificial heat sources, as these can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
  2. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag. Insert shoe trees to help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
  3. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash leather sneakers, as this can severely damage the material and structure.
