FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
The Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Pure Money' is a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual wear and style, not for high-performance basketball or rigorous athletic activities. While inspired by a basketball shoe, its current iteration prioritizes comfort and aesthetics.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Air Jordan 3 typically fits true to size. We recommend ordering your usual sneaker size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort. Refer to official size charts if available.
How do I clean the white leather and elephant print?
For white tumbled leather, use a soft, damp cloth for light dirt or a specialized leather sneaker cleaner for tougher stains. For the elephant print, use a dry, soft brush or cloth to gently remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture on the print.
Is the visible Air unit durable?
Yes, the visible Nike Air unit is designed for durability and long-lasting cushioning for everyday wear. Proper care and avoiding extreme conditions will help maintain its integrity.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While the leather offers some resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain to preserve the white leather and elephant print. Applying a water and stain repellent spray can add an extra layer of protection, but these are not waterproof shoes.
What does 'Retro' mean in the name?
Retro indicates that this shoe is a re-release of an original design from the past, often with slight updates in materials or manufacturing techniques, but maintaining the classic look and feel of the original Air Jordan 3.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or wrinkles appearing
This is common with leather footwear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes and avoid excessive bending of the foot. Proper storage also helps maintain shape.
White leather appears dirty or stained
Clean immediately with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner designed for leather, following the product's instructions. Do not let stains set.
Elephant print appears dull or dusty
Gently brush off dust and dirt with a dry, soft-bristled brush or wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners aggressively on the textured print unless specifically designed for it.
Sole Squeaking when walking
Info needed: [This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the sole layers or an insert. Try removing insoles to see if the sound stops. If it persists, consult a shoe care specialist.]
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after extended wear
Ensure you have the correct size. Leather shoes can sometimes feel stiff initially but may break in over time. If discomfort persists, consider using thinner socks or consulting a shoe sizing guide.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care is essential to maintain the pristine look and longevity of your Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Pure Money' sneakers, especially given their white tumbled leather.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Leather Upper: Gently wipe down the white tumbled leather with a soft, damp cloth immediately after any dirt or scuff marks appear. For tougher stains, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner specifically formulated for leather. Apply sparingly and wipe off with a clean, damp cloth.
- Elephant Print: Use a soft brush or a dry cloth to carefully remove dust and dirt from the textured elephant print areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing which could damage the print.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and grime.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and nubuck materials. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Storage:
- Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Use shoe trees to help maintain the shoe's shape and prevent creasing, particularly in the toe box area.
- Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust.
- Avoid:
- Do not machine wash or machine dry your sneakers.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the leather or print.
- Do not expose them to extreme heat.
