FAQs

How do I best clean the white tumbled leather?

For best results, use a soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth with a dedicated sneaker leather cleaner. Gently wipe or brush the surface, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat.

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball or other sports?

While the Air Jordan 3 was originally a performance basketball shoe, the Retro 'Pure Money' edition is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. It's best suited for everyday wear rather than high-performance sports.

How can I prevent the leather from creasing?

To minimize creasing, store your sneakers with shoe trees when not in use. You can also purchase crease protectors to insert into the toe box while wearing them. Some creasing is natural with leather over time.

Is the sizing true to fit?

Air Jordan 3 models are generally considered true to size for most adults. We recommend trying them on if possible or referring to standard Jordan size charts if you are unsure.

What is the purpose of the visible Air unit?

The visible Air unit in the heel provides lightweight cushioning and impact absorption, enhancing comfort for daily wear and reducing strain on your feet.

Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?

As these sneakers are made of leather and are white, it is advisable to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent staining, water damage, and potential discoloration of the materials. Consider a water-resistant spray for light moisture protection.

Troubleshooting

Stains on white leather upper

Address stains immediately. Use a soft cloth or brush with a specialized leather cleaner. Gently blot and wipe, avoiding harsh scrubbing that could damage the material. Air dry.

Yellowing of rubber soles

This is common over time. Use a rubber sole cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Apply, let sit for a short period (under sunlight if using peroxide, with caution), then rinse and clean thoroughly. Repeat as needed.

Creasing of the toe box or mid-panel

While natural for leather, you can minimize it. Store sneakers with shoe trees when not wearing them. Avoid walking movements that overly crease the shoe. Specialized crease protectors can be inserted while wearing.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur from air units or insoles rubbing. Try removing and reinserting the insole. If it persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole might help reduce friction.

Laces appear dirty or worn

The elephant-print laces can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried. If heavily soiled or damaged, replacement laces are widely available from third-party suppliers.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Wear: Simply unbox your Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Pure Money' sneakers. Ensure the laces are comfortably tied to your preference. The internal padding and Air unit are designed for immediate comfort, though a short break-in period may enhance the fit.

Styling Compatibility: The clean white aesthetic makes these sneakers highly adaptable. They pair well with:

  • Denim: Light or dark wash jeans for a classic, relaxed look.
  • Athleisure Wear: Joggers, shorts, and hoodies for a comfortable, sporty vibe.
  • Casual Trousers: Chinos or tailored shorts for a refined yet relaxed style.
  • Neutral Tones: White, grey, black, and pastel clothing for a cohesive appearance.

Care Instructions for Longevity:

  1. Regular Cleaning: For the white tumbled leather, gently wipe down the upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dirt.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush or microfiber cloth. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
  3. Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole and midsole with a mild soap and water solution or a dedicated shoe sole cleaner to prevent yellowing and maintain traction.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather sneakers to repel water and stains, particularly important for white footwear.
  5. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing when not in use. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
