FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from high-quality leather for durability.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this retro version is intended primarily for lifestyle and casual wear.

How should I store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to protect the leather and vibrant colours.

Does the sizing run true to fit?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro Mid generally fits true to size for most adult men.

Can I wash these in a machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the shoe together. Always use hand-cleaning methods.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty keeping the white midsole clean

Use a magic eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution with a soft-bristled brush to lift surface stains from the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Jordan 1s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn dirt, avoiding harsh chemicals.
  3. Midsole Care: Keep the white midsoles clean by using a gentle soap and a soft brush to prevent yellowing over time.
  4. Rotation: To extend the life of your sneakers, avoid wearing them every single day; rotating your shoes allows the materials to air out.
