Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Air Jordan 1 Mid trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Wipe down regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole:
- Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution to scrub away dirt and grime from the sole and midsole.
- Rinse with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
- Drying:
- Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Avoid direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, sunlight) as this can dry out and crack the leather.
- Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection:
- Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- For added protection against water and stains, a suitable leather protector spray can be applied (follow product instructions carefully).
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can protect them from dust and damage.
- Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
