FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the integrated GORE-TEX membrane provides a high level of waterproof and breathable protection, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?

Clean with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Rinse gently and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct heat.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

While GORE-TEX offers breathability, they are primarily designed for protection against the elements. For extreme heat, non-waterproofed options might offer better ventilation.

What is the main difference between these and regular Jordan 1 Lows?

The primary difference is the addition of the GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable membrane, offering enhanced weather protection while maintaining the classic Jordan 1 Low silhouette.

How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?

Periodically use a GORE-TEX-approved waterproofing spray to help maintain the fabric's ability to repel water.

What does 'FV4227-002' refer to?

This is the product's model or manufacturer part number (MPN), identifying this specific colorway and version of the Air Jordan 1 Low Element GORE-TEX.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the shoe

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. Check laces and tongue area for proper sealing. Clean the shoe according to care instructions. Consider reapplying a GORE-TEX-approved water repellent.

Feet feel damp or sweaty

While GORE-TEX is breathable, high activity levels or very humid conditions can still lead to some moisture buildup. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to air out between wears.

Material appears stiff or less flexible

This is normal for GORE-TEX equipped footwear, especially when new. With wear, the material will become more flexible. Avoid excessive flexing during cleaning or drying.

Cons

Care Instructions:
