FAQs
What materials are these sneakers made from?
The Air Jordan 1 Low '85 'Metallic Navy' features a high-quality leather upper for durability and comfort, paired with a grippy rubber outsole for traction.
Are these suitable for playing basketball or other sports?
No, these sneakers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. While they have athletic heritage, their construction is optimized for comfort and style in everyday settings, not for high-performance sports.
How should I clean the white leather and metallic navy accents?
For the white leather, use a soft, damp cloth and a gentle leather cleaner. For the metallic navy accents on the Swoosh and heel tab, wipe very gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth to avoid scratching or dulling the finish. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Generally, Air Jordan 1 Low models are considered to run true to size for most individuals. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size for the best fit.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, prolonging their lifespan and appearance.
Is the 'Metallic Navy' a durable finish?
The metallic finish is applied with care to be durable for normal wear. However, like any specialized finish, it can be susceptible to scratching or wear with rough handling. Gentle cleaning and careful use will help preserve its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs or marks on the leather upper
For light marks, gently rub with a clean, soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, apply a small amount of specialized leather conditioner or cleaner designed for white leather, rubbing in circular motions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound when walking
This is often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and then reinserting it. A thin layer of baby powder underneath the insole can also reduce friction.
Uncomfortable fit or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoe is new, allow for a break-in period as the leather will soften and conform to your foot. You can also try adjusting your lacing technique for more targeted support or looseness.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoe
Regularly air out your sneakers after wear. Remove insoles to allow better airflow. You can also use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sachets (placed in socks), or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Metallic navy finish appears dull or scratched
The metallic finish should be handled with care. To clean, use a very soft, barely damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh rubbing. If scratched, professional sneaker restoration services may be able to address this.
