FAQs

What materials are the Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Pure Money' made from?

These sneakers are primarily constructed with premium white tumbled leather for the upper, featuring light grey elephant print overlays. They also include chrome eyelets and a durable rubber outsole with a visible Nike Air unit.

Can I wear these for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 3 has a rich basketball heritage, the 'Pure Money' retro release is designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. It is not recommended for high-performance basketball or intense athletic activities.

How do I keep the white leather clean?

Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush. It's also recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather.

What is the 'elephant print' and why is it special?

The elephant print is a distinctive textured pattern, typically found on the toe and heel of the Air Jordan 3. It's an iconic design element introduced by Tinker Hatfield that has become synonymous with the Air Jordan 3 silhouette and the brand's history.

Does the Nike Air unit provide actual cushioning?

Yes, the visible Nike Air unit in the heel provides responsive cushioning, which contributes to the overall comfort of the shoe for everyday wear and walking.

Are Air Jordan 3s true to size?

Generally, Air Jordan 3s are considered by many to fit true to size. However, fit can be subjective, and it's always recommended to try them on if possible or consult size guides. > Info needed: [General advice based on common sneaker sizing]

What does 'Retro' mean in the product name?

In sneaker terminology, 'Retro' indicates that the shoe is a re-release of an original model. The Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Pure Money' is a re-release of a colorway originally from 2007, updated for modern production while maintaining its classic design.

Troubleshooting

White leather appears dirty or scuffed.

Gently clean the leather upper with a soft brush or microfiber cloth and a specialized sneaker cleaning solution. For scuffs, a soft eraser designed for leather can sometimes help, followed by a gentle wipe.

Creasing on the toebox or side panels.

While some creasing is natural with wear, use shoe trees when storing the sneakers to help maintain their original shape. Avoid prolonged bending of the foot where creases typically form.

Elephant print looks dull or collects dust.

Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a cotton swab with a very small amount of cleaning solution. Gently brush the texture to remove dust and dirt, being careful not to rub too hard or damage the print.

Rubber outsole is slippery or dirty.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a stiff brush and a cleaning solution to remove dirt and restore traction. Ensure the outsole is dry before wearing.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather can break in slightly over time. For initial stiffness, wear them for short periods to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape. Consider wearing thinner socks if needed.

Proper care is crucial to maintain the pristine appearance and longevity of your Air Jordan 3 'Pure Money' sneakers.

  • Leather Upper: Use a soft brush or microfibre cloth with a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution. Gently wipe away dirt and grime. For deeper cleaning, apply foam cleaner and wipe with a damp cloth.

  1. Protection:
  • Apply a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather sneakers before first wear and periodically thereafter.
  • Avoid wearing in heavy rain, snow, or muddy conditions.
  1. Storage:
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can yellow white materials.
  • Use shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the sneakers and prevent creasing when not in use.
  • Keep them in their original box or a dedicated shoe bag to protect them from dust and dirt.
  1. Addressing Creases: While some creasing is inevitable with leather, using shoe trees and avoiding excessive bending of the toe box can minimize it.
