FAQs

What does 'Mid' mean in Air Jordan 1 Mid?

The 'Mid' designation refers to the shoe's height. It sits between the original High and the Low versions, offering a balance of style and ankle coverage.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 1 Mid is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear. It does not offer the same level of support and performance features as dedicated basketball shoes.

How do I know if I have a genuine pair?

Authentic pairs typically feature consistent stitching, accurate logo placement, and correct sizing details. The product information provided, such as the MPN (554724-173) and release date, can also be used for verification. Reputable retailers are the best source for genuine products.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but it is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and to maintain comfort.

What is the primary color of this shoe?

The primary color is White, with Gym Red and Black used for overlays and detailing, consistent with the iconic 'Chicago' color scheme.

What size is this guide for?

This specific product listing and guide refers to a Men's UK size 13.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly or applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe around the insole area.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid overly tight lacing and consider using shoe trees when not in use. If creasing is severe, you can try techniques like stuffing the toe box with socks or using a damp cloth and iron (on low heat, through a cloth) to gently reduce deep creases, though this requires caution.

Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly smooth or wet surfaces, be mindful of reduced grip. The traction is optimized for standard urban walking conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required; these are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with standard sock wear and are designed for adult male footwear sizes. They integrate seamlessly with casual and streetwear attire.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth.
  2. Lining and Insoles: If the insoles are removable, take them out and air them separately. The interior can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth.
  3. Soles: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a brush and mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
  4. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
