FAQs
What materials are the Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Pure Money' made of?
The sneaker features a white tumbled leather upper, light grey elephant print overlays, chrome eyelets, a rubber outsole, and a Nike Air unit in the midsole for cushioning.
How do I clean the white leather and elephant print?
For the white tumbled leather, use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution or a specialized white leather cleaner. Gently wipe the surface and air dry. For the elephant print, use a soft brush and the same mild soap solution. Avoid saturating the materials with water.
Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball?
While the original Air Jordan 3 was a performance basketball shoe, the Retro version is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Its construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over rigorous athletic performance.
What is the significance of the 'Pure Money' colorway?
The 'Pure Money' colorway originally debuted in 2007. It's known for its clean, all-white aesthetic with subtle silver accents, giving it a premium and minimalist look that earned it the 'Pure Money' nickname.
How does the visible Air unit contribute to comfort?
The visible Nike Air unit in the heel provides lightweight, responsive cushioning that absorbs impact and provides a comfortable feel underfoot, making the shoe suitable for extended wear.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Air Jordan 3 Retro models generally run true to size for most individuals. It is recommended to choose your usual sneaker size.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dull or stained.
Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper stains, use a specialized white leather cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Creasing on the toe box or sides.
Creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing the sneakers and avoid wearing them for prolonged, strenuous activities that cause excessive bending.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath the insole before reinserting it. If the issue persists, check if the outsole is separating, though this is rare.

Care and Maintenance:
To keep your Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Pure Money' looking its best, consistent care is crucial:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt and dust.
- Deep Cleaning (White Leather):
- Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with water.
- Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe down the leather. Do not saturate the leather.
- For stubborn marks, consider a specialized leather cleaner designed for white leather.
- Immediately wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth, then follow with a dry cloth.
- Elephant Print Care: The elephant print areas are generally more resilient but can also be cleaned with the same mild soap solution. Use a soft brush for crevices if needed.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (like a toothbrush) and mild soap solution to clean the rubber outsole and midsole. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can dry out and crack the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray specifically designed for white leather to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
