Care Instructions
Proper care will preserve the premium leather and metallic finishes of your Air Jordan 1 Retro Low 85:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Metallic Accents: The metallic blue Swooshes and heel tab should be wiped with extreme care to avoid scratching or dulling the finish. Use a very soft, non-abrasive cloth.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent specifically designed for leather to protect against spills and environmental elements.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's original shape and prevent creasing. Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
