FAQs

How do I clean the premium leather and snakeskin accents?

For the 'Sail' leather, use a soft, damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner. For the 'Game Royal' snakeskin accents, gently wipe with a dry or very lightly damp cloth only. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture on the snakeskin.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

The Air Jordan x Awake NY Air Ship is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, emphasizing style and collectibility rather than high-performance sports or intense physical activities.

How can I protect the 'Sail' leather from water and stains?

Consider applying a high-quality leather protector spray specifically designed for sneakers. Always test the product on an inconspicuous area of the shoe first to ensure compatibility.

What is the significance of the 'A' embroidery on the mudguard?

The signature 'A' embroidery is a unique co-branding element that represents the collaboration with Awake NY, highlighting their contribution to this special edition Air Ship.

How does the aged sole unit affect the shoe's durability?

The aged sole unit is a deliberate design choice to achieve a retro aesthetic. Its durability is consistent with standard high-quality sneaker soles and is not specifically enhanced or reduced by its aged appearance.

What is the best way to store these sneakers to maintain their shape and condition?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees will help maintain the original shape of the upper and prevent creasing in the leather.

Are there other color variants available for this model?

This particular model is part of the 'Blue' color family as described. Info needed: [Specific details on other colorways or future releases would be needed from the manufacturer].

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or wrinkles appearing

This is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers and avoid tight lacing that puts excessive pressure on flex points.

Stains on 'Sail' leather

Address stains immediately. Gently dab with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can spread the stain or damage the finish.

Snakeskin accents appear dull or damaged

Ensure you are cleaning them gently with a dry or very lightly damp cloth only. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive rubbing, or prolonged exposure to moisture, which can degrade the material.

Unpleasant odor inside the shoe

Allow the sneakers to air out after each wear. For persistent odors, use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sachets of baking soda inside the shoes when stored.

Sole appears excessively worn prematurely

Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose of casual and lifestyle wear, not high-performance sports. Regular cleaning can also help identify and prevent build-up that might contribute to wear.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium materials and distinct appearance of your Air Jordan x Awake NY Air Ship sneakers.

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality leather protector spray to the 'Sail' leather before its first wear. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Cleaning the Leather: For the premium 'Sail' leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth with a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Gently wipe in small circular motions. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
  3. Caring for Snakeskin Accents: The 'Game Royal' snakeskin accents require delicate handling. Gently wipe them with a dry or very lightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which can damage the texture and finish.
  4. Swoosh Care: The blue-trimmed silver Swoosh can be cleaned with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to maintain its luster.
  5. Sole Cleaning: Use a soft brush and mild soap and water to clean the aged sole unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  6. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like hair dryers or radiators, as this can crack or damage the leather.
  7. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the original shape and prevent creasing in the leather.
