FAQs

How should I clean the leather?

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe down the surface gently.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from premium quality leather.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use sneaker shields or shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to maintain their original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Jordan 8s remain in top condition, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the leather and lightly wipe the patterned areas with a damp cloth to avoid damaging the print. Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colors from fading. For sizing, these follow standard adult sizing conventions; ensure you are utilizing the correct UK size before purchase to maximize comfort.
