FAQs

Are the Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX truly waterproof?

Yes, the GORE-TEX upper is designed to be highly waterproof and breathable, offering protection against moisture while allowing perspiration to escape.

Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?

While the GORE-TEX material is breathable, these shoes are optimized for protection in cooler or wet conditions. They may feel warmer than standard sneakers in very hot weather.

What is the main difference between this and a regular Air Jordan 1?

The primary difference is the integration of a GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable membrane in the upper, along with 3M reflective detailing, designed for enhanced weather performance.

How do I clean the 3M reflective parts?

Clean the reflective parts gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the reflective coating.

What does 'Element' signify in the product name?

'Element' refers to the integration of technical, weather-resistant materials like GORE-TEX, enhancing the shoe's performance capabilities beyond a typical sneaker.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While offering advanced materials, these are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for comfort and style, not high-performance athletic activities.

What other sizes are available for the Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX?

This guide specifically covers the UK 13 size. Other sizes may be available in different colorways or variants of the Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the shoe

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress from the top. If the issue persists, the waterproof seal may be compromised.

Reduced breathability

GORE-TEX breathability can be affected by dirt and debris. Clean the exterior of the shoe and ensure any vents or seams are free from blockages.

Material scuffing or discoloration

Durabuck and leather can scuff. Use appropriate leather cleaners and conditioners sparingly. For discoloration, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Reflective elements losing reflectivity

Reflective materials can degrade over time with heavy wear and cleaning. Avoid aggressive scrubbing of the reflective areas.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather and Durabuck with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and materials.
  • Lining: The GORE-TEX lining should be kept clean by spot cleaning with a mild soap and water solution if necessary.
  • Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain their shape and protect the materials.
