How should I clean the suede elephant print?

Is the 'Panda' colorway a common feature for this model?
The black and white 'Panda' colorway is inspired by the popular Nike Dunk Low 'Panda' and is a key visual element of this specific Air Jordan 1 Mid SE release, enhanced by the elephant print.
What year was this specific model released?

Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it is not recommended to wear these extensively in wet conditions, as it can lead to water damage, staining, and affect the suede elements.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize its appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage. Avoid excessive flexing during wear.
Suede elephant print losing texture
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush regularly. If stained, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede wet.
Discoloration of white leather
Wipe down white leather components regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher yellowing, a mild leather cleaner or a specialized shoe cleaner for white leather can be used.
Poor grip on outsole
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the rubber has become worn down or stiffened from age, grip may be permanently reduced.
