Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the pristine condition and longevity of your Air Jordan 1 Retro Low 85:
- Cleaning the Leather: Regularly wipe down the white leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather sneaker cleaner and a soft brush or cloth. Apply cleaner sparingly and wipe away residue immediately.
- Metallic Accents: Be gentle when cleaning the metallic navy Swoosh and heel tab. Use a very soft, lightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch or dull the finish.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (a dedicated sole brush or old toothbrush works well) with mild soap and water to clean the navy rubber outsole and white midsole. Scrub gently and wipe clean.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or discolor.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and light.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can damage the leather, metallic finish, and sole materials.
