FAQs

Are the Air Jordan 1 Element GORE-TEX truly waterproof?

Yes, the GORE-TEX technology integrated into the upper provides a high level of waterproof protection while maintaining breathability.

Can I wear these in snow?

While they offer excellent water resistance, they are primarily designed as sneakers. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider adding thermal socks or seeking specialized winter footwear.

How do the reflective elements work?

The 3M reflective material is designed to bounce light back when illuminated by a light source, such as headlights, making them highly visible in dark conditions.

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

The primary difference is the inclusion of a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane in the upper and enhanced reflective detailing, making them more suitable for wet weather.

What is the best way to clean the GORE-TEX material?

Gently clean with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and high heat, and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically if water repellency diminishes.

Do these run true to size?

Generally, the Air Jordan 1 series runs true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly, and those with wider feet might consider sizing up if they prefer a looser fit.

What does GORE-TEX branding signify on the shoe?

The GORE-TEX branding indicates that the shoe's upper incorporates the certified GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable membrane technology.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through seams

Ensure all seams are properly sealed. For persistent issues, consider a seam-sealing spray designed for outdoor gear, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Reflective elements losing reflectivity

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that can damage the 3M material. Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth.

Durabuck material looks dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and lift dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner might be necessary.

Odors inside the shoe

Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a footwear item, there is no specific setup required. Simply lace them up and wear.

Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with most casual and athleisure wear. They are suitable for a wide range of foot shapes, particularly those who find standard Air Jordan 1 fits comfortable.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. GORE-TEX Maintenance: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane's performance, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning technical fabrics, which typically involves gentle cleaning and occasional DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
  3. Leather and Durabuck: Condition leather parts periodically with a leather conditioner. For Durabuck, use a suede brush to maintain its texture and remove dry dirt.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
