FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

The Jordan Air 1 Low is inspired by the original basketball shoe but is primarily designed for casual wear. For playing basketball, specialized performance basketball shoes with enhanced ankle support and grip are recommended.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft brush. Always allow them to air dry.

What is the Air-Sole unit for?

The encapsulated Air-Sole unit is designed to provide lightweight cushioning and comfort with every step, enhancing the overall wearability of the shoe for daily activities.

How does the sizing run?

The Jordan Air 1 Low generally runs true to size for most wearers. It's recommended to consult a sizing chart or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather can offer some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and maintain grip.

What is the main difference between the Air Jordan 1 Low and High models?

The primary difference is the cut: the Low model has a shorter collar for more ankle flexibility and a casual look, while the High model offers more ankle coverage and support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Wear the shoes for short periods at first to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. You can also try wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.

Creases forming on the leather

Creasing is natural with leather over time. To minimize deep creases, ensure the shoes are stored properly with shoe trees or stuffing when not in use.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, caution is advised on very wet or slick surfaces. Avoid excessive pressure or speed in such conditions.

Discoloration of leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Use appropriate leather care products to maintain color and condition.
