FAQs

Are the Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane which is designed to be waterproof and breathable, protecting your feet from external moisture while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?

Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive materials that could damage the membrane. Refer to specific GORE-TEX care guidelines if needed.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

While GORE-TEX is breathable, the primary construction uses leather and aims for weather protection. They are best suited for moderate to cool temperatures, especially in wet conditions. They may feel warm in very hot and humid climates.

What is the main difference between these and regular Air Jordan 1s?

The primary difference is the integration of GORE-TEX technology for enhanced waterproofing and breathability, making them more suitable for adverse weather conditions. They also feature specific design elements to accommodate the GORE-TEX membrane.

What size should I order if I'm usually a UK 8.5?

If you are a UK 8.5, you should order the UK 8.5 size. It is recommended to check sizing charts provided by the retailer or brand if you are unsure about fit, as individual perception of fit can vary.

Are these authentic?

Yes, reputable sellers like Drop Zone have been selling authentic branded footwear for over 10 years and are committed to providing 100% original and genuine products. They solemnly promise: No fakes. Ever.

What colors are available?

The specific model featured here is in the 'Light Bone' colorway, with details in Sail, Light Bone, College Grey, and Black. Other variations might exist within the Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX series.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through

Ensure all laces are tied securely and the tongue is properly positioned. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. If damage is present, contact the retailer for warranty information. For minor breaches, consider a specialized waterproof sealant.

Leather appearing dry or cracked

Apply a quality leather conditioner regularly, especially after exposure to dry conditions or water. This helps to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.

Reduced breathability

Ensure the shoe's interior is clean and free from debris. The GORE-TEX membrane can become less breathable if clogged. Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth.

Soles showing wear

Regularly check the sole for excessive wear. For significant wear, consult a professional shoe repair service for potential resoling options, although this may affect the waterproofing integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability thanks to GORE-TEX technology.
  • Retains the classic and highly desirable Air Jordan 1 design.
  • Constructed with premium leather for durability and a refined appearance.
  • Suitable for various weather conditions, offering versatility.
  • Authenticity guaranteed by reputable sellers like Drop Zone.

Cons

  • Typically comes with a higher price point compared to non-GORE-TEX versions.
  • May be subject to limited releases, making them harder to acquire.
  • Leather care is required to maintain condition, especially after exposure to elements.
  • The specific colorway might not appeal to everyone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. Ensure you have selected the correct size before purchase. The shoes come new and in their original packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male users. The shoe's primary function is footwear, compatible with a wide range of casual attire. It is not designed for specific athletic performance beyond its intended casual use.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX is durable, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could compromise the membrane. Occasionally, a reapplication of a water-repellent spray designed for leather and technical fabrics can help maintain optimal performance.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and the GORE-TEX membrane.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight.
