Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the vintage aesthetic and longevity of your Jordan 1 Retro Low '85 Neutral Grey.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off any loose dirt or dust with a soft-bristled brush.
- Spot Cleaning: For light stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Gently wipe the affected area.
- Leather Care: Use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather soft and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
- Midsole Cleaning: The pre-yellowed midsole is intentional, but you can clean surface dirt with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that might alter its intended finish.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Never put them in a dryer.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect from dust.
*Avoid:* Machine washing, harsh chemicals, excessive scrubbing, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.
