Jordan Air 3 Retro Rare Air Sneaker - Black - UK 9

The sneaker is constructed from a combination of leather, textile, and rubber, with a primary black nubuck base, offering a premium and durable build.

For nubuck, it's best to use a specialized nubuck brush for dry dirt and a dedicated nubuck cleaner for deeper stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.

While the Air Jordan 3 has basketball roots, this 'Retro Rare Air' model is primarily designed for lifestyle and streetwear. Its premium materials and collectible nature suggest it's best suited for casual wear rather than high-performance sports.

Most Air Jordan 3 models are generally considered to fit true to size. For the best fit, it's recommended to select your usual sneaker size.

'Rare Air' typically denotes a special edition or unique variation of a classic Air Jordan model, often featuring distinct colorways, branding, or design elements that set it apart from standard releases, such as the reverse Nike Air branding on this pair.

Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for nubuck and leather materials before the first wear can provide a protective barrier against elements.

The iconic elephant skin details are a signature design element introduced with the original Air Jordan 3, making it instantly recognizable and a beloved feature among sneaker enthusiasts. It was the first Air Jordan shoe to feature this print.

Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently restore the nap and texture of the material. Brush in small, circular motions or in one consistent direction.

Often caused by friction between insoles and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. If the issue persists, a light dusting of baby powder under the insole can reduce friction.

Gently clean with a sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used carefully, but test on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damaging the paint.
