FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 Mid has roots in basketball, this specific model is designed for casual wear and fashion rather than high-performance sports. Its materials and construction are optimized for everyday comfort and style.

How do I determine my correct size?

Air Jordan sizes generally run true to size. If you own other Air Jordan 1 models, order the same size. For best accuracy, measure your foot length and compare it to a standard size chart, specifically looking at UK sizing (e.g., UK 9 for this product).

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather sneakers. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always clean by hand using appropriate leather cleaning products.

How often should I clean them?

It's best to wipe down your shoes after each wear, especially the white areas, to prevent dirt buildup. A more thorough cleaning should be done as needed, depending on how frequently you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to.

Are these real leather?

Yes, this model features genuine leather construction, specifically buttery Light Smoke Grey leather and clean white leather as described in the product details.

What's the best way to prevent scuffs on the black Swoosh?

While minor scuffs are inevitable with wear, you can minimize them by being mindful of where you step and avoiding abrasive surfaces. Regular gentle cleaning can also help keep the Swoosh looking fresh.

Can I wear these in the rain?

Occasional light rain is generally fine, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided as water can damage leather. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather shoes for added protection.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing appears after wear.

This is normal for leather sneakers. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes. You can also condition the leather regularly to keep it supple and less prone to deep creases.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, or consider using a shoe stretcher if discomfort persists in a specific area. Check the lacing for proper adjustment.

White midsole or upper leather looks dirty or scuffed.

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for leather and rubber. For midsoles, a melamine foam eraser (magic eraser) can be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole and applying a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder underneath it. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is separating.

Shoes smell unpleasant.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda packets inside overnight to absorb odors. Avoid wearing the same pair every day to allow them to dry completely.

These sneakers require no special setup beyond finding your correct UK size, such as UK 9 for this specific model. They are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel, from sportswear to smart-casual outfits. For care and maintenance, regularly clean the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it gently with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can damage the leather. To prevent creasing, consider using shoe trees when not wearing them. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the leather and color integrity. Protect the white midsole and upper base by wiping away dirt promptly.
