FAQs
What materials are the Air Jordan 3 Retro Pure Money made of?
The Air Jordan 3 Retro Pure Money features a construction primarily of leather for the upper, along with textile elements and a rubber outsole for durability and comfort.
How do I best clean the white leather on these sneakers?
To clean the white leather, use a soft, damp cloth for light dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of specialized leather sneaker cleaner to a soft brush or cloth and gently scrub the affected areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Can I wear these shoes for basketball or other sports?
While the Air Jordan 3 originated as a basketball shoe, the Retro Pure Money edition is primarily designed and marketed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is not recommended for high-performance athletic activities, as it lacks modern sports technology and aggressive wear could damage the premium materials.
Are these sneakers true to size?
Most users find that Air Jordan 3s fit true to size. It's generally recommended to purchase your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.
How can I prevent the white leather from yellowing over time?
Yellowing, especially on white rubber and plastic components, can occur due to oxidation. Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using airtight containers with desiccant packs can also help slow down the process.
What does 'Pure Money' refer to?
The 'Pure Money' designation refers to the all-white colorway with metallic silver accents, giving the sneaker a clean, crisp, and luxurious appearance, often associated with a sense of purity and wealth.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dirty or stained.
Immediately wipe off dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner formulated for leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Creasing developing on the toe box or sides.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Use shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn to help maintain their original shape. Consider using anti-crease shields inserted into the toe box.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like most new leather footwear, these may require a brief 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. Ensure proper lacing and appropriate socks.
Scuff marks on the metallic silver accents.
Gently clean scuff marks with a soft cloth and mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the metallic finish.
