While the Air Max 1 was originally designed as a running shoe in 1987, modern versions are typically intended for lifestyle and casual wear.
Does the shoe fit true to size?

How do I protect the white leather?
Applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather can help protect the surface from everyday spills.
What is the inspiration behind the color palette?
The colors are inspired by the Kansas City Royals' 'Forever Fountains' branding and the sunset gradient found on their alternate City Connect jersey.
Are the laces interchangeable?
The shoes come with standard laces, but you can replace them with any high-quality flat trainer laces of the same length if you choose to customize them.
Is the crown logo embroidered or printed?
The crown logo is featured as part of the specialized design elements on the heel counter, adhering to the standard premium manufacturing of the City Connect series.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh
Use a soft, dry brush to gently lift dirt particles before applying a damp cloth if necessary.
Creasing on leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creasing.
Lace lock feels loose
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the MLB batterman lock to secure it firmly against the tongue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required; simply adjust the laces to your preferred tension upon initial wear. For maintenance, it is recommended to spot-clean the leather portions with a damp cloth and mild soap. The mesh sections can be gently brushed with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners, as these can affect the gradient colors and the leather finish. Store your Air Max 1s in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the white materials.
