How do I clean the white midsole?

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing on the toe box

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use sneaker shields or shoe trees when not wearing to minimize deep set lines.

Sole losing traction over time

Regularly wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove buildup of dirt and debris that can compromise the grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Jordan 1s remain in optimal condition, proper care is essential. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust regularly, and wipe the leather with a damp, lint-free cloth if stains occur. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish and adhesive bonds. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather drying. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators to maintain the shape of the internal padding.
