FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the GORE-TEX technology integrated into the upper provides a high level of waterproofing and breathability, keeping your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal perspiration to escape.

How should I clean the GORE-TEX material?

Gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Regular application of a GORE-TEX-specific DWR spray will help maintain its performance.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

While GORE-TEX offers breathability, the shoe's construction and materials are designed for all-weather use. They may feel warmer than lighter, unlined trainers in very hot conditions.

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

The primary difference is the inclusion of the GORE-TEX membrane for enhanced weather protection and durability, along with reflective detailing not typically found on standard models.

How do I check if I have the right size?

Ensure there is adequate space at the toe and the heel doesn't slip excessively. The fit should be snug but not tight, allowing for comfortable wear with appropriate socks.

What does the 'Element' in the name refer to?

The 'Element' designation highlights the integration of technical, weather-resistant materials like GORE-TEX, signifying a fusion of classic sneaker design with outdoor performance technology.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

The DWR treatment on the exterior may have worn off. Apply a new coat of GORE-TEX-compatible DWR spray according to product instructions.

Scuff marks on Durabuck material

Gently brush the affected area with a soft brush. For deeper scuffs, a specialized suede/nubuck cleaner might be needed, used with caution.

Discomfort or pinching

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Adjust lacing for a more comfortable fit.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable construction with high-quality leather and Durabuck.
  • Iconic and versatile design suitable for various occasions.
  • Enhanced comfort and shock absorption for all-day wear.
  • Reflective elements for improved visibility.

Cons

  • Higher retail price point compared to standard Air Jordan 1 models.
  • May require specific cleaning methods to preserve GORE-TEX properties.
  • Limited colorway options compared to other Jordan releases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear footwear. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing.

Compatibility:

Designed as a men's trainer, suitable for adult foot sizes. Compatible with casual attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For stubborn stains on leather or Durabuck, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
  • GORE-TEX Care: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. To maintain water-repellency, periodically use a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX fabrics, following the product's instructions.
  • Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and hand-wash them separately.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
