FAQs
What materials are these sneakers primarily made of?
The upper features premium sail leather, complemented by metallic platinum Swooshes and blue snakeskin textured accents around the collar. The midsole is EVA, and the outsole is gum rubber.
Can I use these sneakers for playing basketball?
While the Air Ship silhouette has basketball heritage, this Air Jordan x Awake NY collaboration is designed for lifestyle and casual fashion. We recommend not using them for high-impact sports to preserve their unique materials and premium condition.
What does 'pre-aged midsole' mean?
The 'pre-aged midsole' refers to an intentional design choice where the midsole is given a slightly yellowed or vintage appearance right from manufacturing, contributing to a classic, retro aesthetic.
How should I clean the snakeskin texture?
For the snakeskin texture, it's best to gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth or a very soft brush to remove dust. Avoid using wet cleaners or harsh chemicals directly on this material.
How can I prevent creases in the leather?
To minimize creasing, wear your sneakers regularly and consider using shoe trees when storing them. This helps maintain the shoe's original shape. Avoid prolonged tight lacing that puts excessive stress on the toe box area.
Is the 'A' stitched on the forefoot a mistake?
No, the stitched 'A' on the forefoot is a deliberate design element representing Awake NY, one of the collaborating brands, and its founder, Angelo Baque. It's a key detail of this special edition.
Are these sneakers true to size?
Air Jordan sizing is generally consistent. It is recommended to purchase your standard Air Jordan size. > Info needed: [For optimal fit, consult an official Air Jordan size chart if available, or try them on if possible.]
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the leather upper
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing and try to rotate your sneakers to allow them to rest.
Scuff marks on the leather
Gently clean scuff marks with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner can often help. Apply sparingly and buff gently.
Dullness or dirt on the snakeskin texture
Carefully wipe the textured areas with a soft, *dry* brush or cloth. Avoid excessive moisture or harsh rubbing, as this can damage the texture.
Midsole looks dirty or discolored (beyond the pre-aged effect)
The midsole has a pre-aged finish, but for dirt or grime, gently clean with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Be careful not to scrub too vigorously, especially on the pre-aged areas.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the premium materials and unique design of your sneakers.
- General Cleaning: For the leather upper and gum rubber sole, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the materials or alter the pre-aged midsole finish.
- Snakeskin Texture: The blue snakeskin textures around the collar require delicate handling. Gently wipe them with a soft, *dry* cloth to remove dust. Avoid scrubbing or using wet cleaners directly on this textured area to prevent damage.
- Perforated Toe Box: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the perforated toe box, ensuring no debris accumulates in the perforations.
- Pre-aged Midsole: The pre-aged midsole is intentionally designed with a vintage look. Clean gently to avoid removing this intentional finish. A soft cloth with mild soap and water can be used carefully, if needed.
- Protection: Consider applying a high-quality leather and sneaker protector spray suitable for various materials (including leather and textured fabrics) to guard against water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing, especially in the leather upper.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry your sneakers, as this can severely damage the leather, textures, and adhesives.
