FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low 85 'Metallic Blue' is designed as a lifestyle shoe, ideal for casual wear and style, rather than for performance basketball.

How do I clean the metallic blue parts?

For the metallic blue Swooshes and heel tab, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

What materials are used in the construction?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather, with a rubber outsole for durability and traction.

Are these true to size?

Generally, Air Jordan 1 models tend to fit true to size. It's recommended to select your usual sneaker size.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the leather offers some protection, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve the leather and metallic finishes. If they do get wet, air dry them naturally.

What is the MPN (Manufacturer's Product Number) for this shoe?

The MPN for this model is FB9933-141.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic shoes. Ensure the leather is clean before conditioning.

Metallic accents lose their shine

Gently wipe the metallic areas with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be resolved by sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure the insole is properly seated.

Laces constantly untying

Try a different lacing knot, such as a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot', for a more secure hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Air Jordan 1 Retro Low 85 'Metallic Blue' is straightforward.

  1. Lacing: The sneakers come with classic bright white laces. Thread them through the eyelets to your preferred tightness. Experiment with different lacing styles if you desire a personalized look.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear them indoors for a short period to break them in. The leather upper will conform to your foot shape for enhanced comfort over time.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire.

  • Casual Wear: Pair with denim jeans, shorts, or joggers for a relaxed, everyday look.
  • Smart Casual: They can also complement chinos, khakis, or even tailored trousers for a more elevated, stylish ensemble.
  • Seasonal Adaptability: The low-top design is excellent for warmer weather, but the leather construction also makes them suitable for cooler conditions when paired with appropriate socks.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the pristine condition and longevity of your leather and metallic sneakers.

  • Regular Cleaning:
  • Leather Upper: Gently wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  • Metallic Accents: Use a very soft, dry cloth to gently polish the Metallic Blue Swooshes and heel tab. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could dull or scratch the metallic finish.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a soft brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  • Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Keep them away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
  • Avoid Harsh Conditions: While durable, these are not designed for heavy athletic use or extreme weather. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud.
