FAQs

What makes this Air Ship model unique?

This Air Ship is unique due to its special collaboration with Awake NY, featuring premium 'Sail' leather, 'Game Royal' snakeskin accents, exclusive co-branding, and a distinct 'A' embroidery on the mudguard, celebrating NYC's influence.

Can I wear these shoes for basketball or other sports?

No, while the Air Ship has basketball heritage, this specific Air Jordan x Awake NY edition is designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. Its premium materials are not built for high-performance athletic activities.

How should I clean the 'Sail' leather and 'Game Royal' snakeskin?

For leather, use a soft, damp cloth for light cleaning or a specialized leather cleaner for tougher marks. For snakeskin, gently brush off dust with a very soft brush in the direction of the scales. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture on both materials.

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, Air Jordan Air Ship models tend to fit true to size. It is recommended to choose your usual Air Jordan size for the best fit.

What is the significance of the 'A' embroidery on the mudguard?

The 'A' embroidery is a signature branding element of Awake NY, directly representing the collaborative partnership and adding a distinctive touch to the sneaker's design.

How can I best preserve the aged look of the sole unit?

To preserve the aged aesthetic, avoid harsh scrubbing or using strong chemical cleaners on the sole. Clean gently with mild soap and water, and protect the shoes from prolonged exposure to extreme elements.

Where can I find the Awake NY branding on the shoe?

Awake NY branding is prominently featured on the co-branded collar and heel, and it replaces the traditional Nike Air and Wings logos, providing clear distinction of the collaboration.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or dirt on the 'Sail' leather upper

For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a microfiber cloth, following the product instructions carefully.

Dull appearance of the 'Game Royal' snakeskin accents

Gently remove dust and debris using a very soft brush (like a dedicated shoe brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush) in the direction of the scales. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials unless specifically designed for exotic leathers.

Creasing developing on the leather toe box

To minimize creasing, use shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn. Avoid excessive bending or prolonged activities that put stress on the toe area.

Discoloration on the aged sole unit (beyond intended aesthetic)

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. For surface dirt, clean with a soft brush and mild soap solution. Do not use harsh whitening agents as they may damage the material or alter the intended 'aged' look.

Odor build-up inside the shoe

Allow shoes to air out after wear. Use shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain freshness. Avoid wearing the same pair daily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup (Unboxing & First Wear)

  1. Inspect: Upon unboxing, carefully inspect your Air Jordan x Awake NY Air Ship for any manufacturing imperfections. Familiarize yourself with the unique textures of the leather and snakeskin.
  2. Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred comfort and style. The shoe is designed to be worn for casual purposes.
  3. Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality leather and suede protectant spray suitable for premium footwear. This can help repel water and resist stains, especially important for the 'Sail' leather and snakeskin elements. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Compatibility (Styling & Sizing)

  • Sizing: The Air Jordan Air Ship series generally fits true to size. For the best fit, refer to standard Air Jordan sizing guidelines.
  • Wardrobe Pairing: The 'Sail' (off-white) base with 'Game Royal' (blue) accents offers versatile styling options. It pairs well with neutral tones (black, white, grey, khaki) and can add a pop of color to a monochromatic outfit. The retro design also complements vintage and contemporary streetwear pieces.

Product Care & Maintenance

Proper care is essential to preserve the premium materials and unique design of your collaborative Air Ships.

  • Cleaning the Upper (Leather & Snakeskin):
  1. Light Cleaning: For dust or light surface dirt, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or marks on the 'Sail' leather, use a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for leather. Work in small circular motions.
  3. Snakeskin Care: The 'Game Royal' snakeskin requires delicate handling. Use a very soft brush (like a toothbrush) to gently brush off dust or dirt *in the direction of the scales*. Avoid rubbing against the scales. Do *not* use harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture on the snakeskin.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage leather and snakeskin.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap solution to clean the aged sole unit. Avoid harsh scrubbing to preserve its intended vintage appearance.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's original shape and prevent creasing, especially in the leather toe box.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme weather conditions (heavy rain, snow) if possible, as this can affect the materials and the aged sole finish.
