Air Jordan 1 Mid - Black - UK 8

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally designed for basketball, the Mid version is primarily intended for casual wear and street style. It offers comfort and durability for daily activities but is not recommended for high-performance sports due to its material composition and design for lifestyle use.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid Triple Black features a genuine leather upper, a textile lining, and a durable rubber outsole. The tongue is made of nylon, and the sole unit incorporates traditional Air cushioning for comfort.

Air Jordan 1 Mids generally fit true to size for most individuals. We recommend ordering your standard UK adult shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both for the best fit.

The genuine leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions to protect the materials and prolong the shoe's lifespan. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer additional protection.

Creasing is natural with leather, but you can minimize it. Using shoe trees or stuffing the toebox with soft paper when not wearing them helps maintain their shape. Also, avoid overtightening the laces across the front of your foot.

The primary difference is the height of the collar. The Air Jordan 1 Mid features a collar that sits below the ankle, offering a more versatile and less restrictive feel. The Air Jordan 1 High has a taller collar that covers and supports the ankle, more closely replicating the original 1985 basketball shoe.

The genuine leather upper provides a decent barrier against cold, but these sneakers are not insulated. For extreme cold, you might consider wearing thicker socks. They are generally suitable for cool to mild weather conditions.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check for any loose elements within the sole structure.

Creasing is a natural occurrence with genuine leather, but it can be minimized. Use shoe trees or stuff the shoes with tissue paper when not in use to maintain their shape. Avoid overtightening the laces across the forefoot, which can put extra stress on the toebox.

Regular cleaning and conditioning are key. After cleaning, apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for genuine leather. This will moisturize the material, restoring its luster and preventing it from drying out.

Allow your shoes to air out completely after each wear. You can also place cedar shoe inserts, baking soda in a sachet, or specialized odor absorbers inside them overnight. Ensure they are fully dry before storage.

Lace wear is common with frequent use. The most effective solution is to simply replace the worn laces with a new pair. Matching 'Triple Black' laces are widely available and can refresh the shoe's appearance.
