FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the GORE-TEX upper provides a high level of waterproofing, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?

Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing. Always air dry.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

While GORE-TEX offers breathability, they are best suited for moderate to cool temperatures. In very hot weather, they may feel warmer than standard sneakers.

What is the difference between these and standard Air Jordan 1s?

The primary difference is the inclusion of a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane in the upper, offering enhanced weather protection.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The 3M reflective elements are integrated into the design and are generally durable with proper care, but can be susceptible to abrasion.

What is the typical lifespan of these shoes?

With proper care and regular use, the lifespan can be significant due to the durable materials and construction. However, heavy wear and tear will naturally reduce it.

What UK shoe sizes are available?

This specific model is available in UK size 12, with other sizes and variants potentially offered in different listings.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through

Ensure laces are properly tied and the tongue is fully covering the opening. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. If minor, reapply appropriate water-repellent treatment to the exterior.

Reduced breathability

The GORE-TEX membrane's breathability can be affected by dirt and debris. Gently clean the exterior and check the internal lining for any obstructions. Ensure the shoes are not excessively wet internally, which can hinder moisture vapor transmission.

Scuffs or marks on leather/Durabuck

Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away fresh marks. For stubborn stains on leather, use a leather cleaner. For Durabuck, a suede brush can help restore the texture after cleaning.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with a similar material and length. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can cause premature wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To care for your Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX, avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Spot clean the leather and Durabuck with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and water, applying it gently with a cloth or soft brush. Ensure all cleaning products are removed thoroughly. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not use abrasive materials or solvents, as they can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and the exterior materials.
