FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball?
No, while they feature Air cushioning, the Air Jordan x Awake NY Air Ship is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker due to its premium materials like leather and snakeskin. It is not intended for the rigorous demands of athletic performance.
How do I properly clean the snakeskin parts?
The snakeskin accents are very delicate. Use only a very soft, dry brush or a lint-free cloth to gently wipe away dust or debris. Always brush in the direction of the scales. Avoid water, harsh chemicals, or vigorous scrubbing, as these can cause irreparable damage.
What is the significance of the Awake NY collaboration?
This collaboration celebrates the deep connection between Michael Jordan's origins in basketball and the ongoing evolution of the Jordan Brand. Awake NY brings a unique street culture perspective to this iconic silhouette, offering a fresh take on a classic.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, Air Jordan sneakers tend to run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly. If you are unsure, it is always recommended to try them on or consult a size chart that compares to a brand you already wear.
Can I use universal sneaker cleaning kits on these?
While many kits are suitable for general sneaker cleaning, always check the product's suitability for premium leather and exotic materials like snakeskin. It's often best to use specialized leather cleaners and avoid any solutions on the snakeskin portions unless specifically designed for it and tested in an inconspicuous area.
What is the 'Air cushioning' feature?
Air cushioning refers to Nike's patented technology that uses pressurized air encapsulated in a durable, flexible membrane. This technology provides lightweight cushioning and impact absorption, enhancing comfort for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks on the leather upper
Gently clean the affected area with a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner can sometimes help blend them in.
Snakeskin scales appear to be lifting or damaged
Do not attempt to fix this yourself with adhesives. This is a delicate material. Consult a professional shoe repair specialist experienced with exotic leathers.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe
Remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and allow it to sit overnight before shaking it out. Replace insoles with deodorizing ones if necessary.
Squeaking sound while walking
Check if the insole is properly seated. If not, remove, clean, and reinsert it. A small amount of baby powder sprinkled under the insole can sometimes resolve friction-related squeaks.
Fading or discoloration of colors (Sail/Game Royal Blue)
This can be caused by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store shoes in a dark, cool place. For existing fading, consult a professional sneaker restorer, as home remedies can worsen the issue.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium materials and extend the life of your Air Jordan x Awake NY Air Ship sneakers.
- General Cleaning: After each wear, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust from the entire shoe.
- Leather Upper: For the `leather upper`, use a soft, damp cloth (not wet) with a mild leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Wipe in small sections, then buff dry with a clean, soft cloth. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Snakeskin Accents: The `snakeskin details` on the ankle collar are delicate. Do not use water or harsh chemicals. Instead, use a very soft, dry brush or a lint-free cloth to gently wipe away any dust or debris. Brush in the direction of the scales to avoid lifting or damaging them. If dirt is persistent, consult a professional shoe care specialist.
- Outsole: Clean the `rubber outsole` with a brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Immersion: Never submerge the entire shoe in water or put them in a washing machine, as this can severely damage the materials, especially the snakeskin.
