Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not wearing to minimize deep creases.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the laces down to the mid-section to create more opening space for your foot to slide in comfortably.
Minor scuffs on the leather
Gently buff the area with a dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn scuffs, use a leather eraser or a small amount of leather conditioner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 1 Mids stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to flex and conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather sneaker cleaner and a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray formulated for leather to protect against accidental spills and rain.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking and the colours from fading over time. Use shoe trees to maintain the silhouette's structure.
