Setup & First Wear
- Inspect: Upon receiving your sneakers, carefully inspect them for any manufacturing imperfections. This ensures they meet your expectations before wear.
- Lacing: Lace your sneakers comfortably, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight. Proper lacing can help prevent unnecessary creasing during the first few wears.
- Break-In: Like all premium leather footwear, these sneakers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your premium black leather Air Jordan 3s, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
- Deep Cleaning (as needed):
- Use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically formulated for premium footwear. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth or brush.
- Gently clean the leather in small sections, avoiding harsh scrubbing.
- Wipe off any residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow the sneakers to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Conditioning: Leather can dry out over time, leading to cracking or dullness. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear.
- Apply a small amount of conditioner to a soft cloth.
- Rub gently into the leather in circular motions.
- Buff off any excess with a clean cloth.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Use shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the sneakers and absorb moisture.
- Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and environmental factors.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the premium leather and finish.
