FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the Air Jordan 1 Low Element GORE-TEX Bred features a GORE-TEX membrane, providing a high level of waterproofing to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

Can I wear these in the snow?

While the GORE-TEX offers excellent water resistance, these are primarily designed as casual sneakers. For heavy snow or extreme cold, consider specialized winter footwear. However, they will offer good protection against light snow and slush.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?

Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap diluted in water and a soft brush, then rinse with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What does the "Bred" colorway signify?

"Bred" is a classic Jordan Brand color combination, referring to Black and Red. This specific model also includes Iron Grey and Dark Smoke Grey for a nuanced take on the iconic palette.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

No, these are lifestyle sneakers designed for comfort and style during everyday activities. They are not engineered for performance sports.

What is the main advantage of the GORE-TEX material in these sneakers?

The primary advantage is enhanced protection against water and moisture, ensuring your feet remain dry and comfortable in various weather conditions, while still allowing for some breathability.

Where can I find the product SKU or MPN?

The product SKU is FV4227 002. The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) is also FV4227-002.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the material

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check for any visible tears or damage. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may be compromised, and reapplication of a suitable water-repellent spray might be necessary. Proper cleaning and drying are crucial for maintaining GORE-TEX performance.

Reduced breathability

GORE-TEX prioritizes waterproofing, which can sometimes affect breathability compared to non-waterproof sneakers. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. In humid conditions, some moisture buildup is normal. For active use, consider moisture-wicking socks.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure the laces are of appropriate length and condition. Consider replacing them if they are worn or frayed. Experiment with different lacing techniques or double-knotting for a more secure hold.

Discomfort or fit issues

Try wearing the shoes with different types of socks. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly to provide adequate support without being too tight. If persistent discomfort occurs, the shoe's shape may not be ideal for your foot type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent water resistance due to GORE-TEX.
  • Durable materials ensure a long lifespan.
  • Classic and versatile "Bred" colorway.
  • Maintains the popular Air Jordan 1 Low silhouette.
  • Suitable for various weather conditions.

Cons

  • May have a higher price point compared to non-waterproof versions.
  • GORE-TEX material might slightly alter breathability for some users.
  • Fit can be subjective; trying them on is recommended if possible.
  • Limited availability could be a factor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the Air Jordan 1 Low Element GORE-TEX Bred requires no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for optimal support.

Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities.

Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane and the overall condition of the shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe away dirt and debris with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap diluted in water and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, away from direct sunlight.
  4. Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX is inherently waterproof, occasional reapplication of a fabric protector spray suitable for waterproof membranes can help maintain performance, especially after heavy use or cleaning.
