FAQs

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

Yes, the GORE-TEX upper provides a high level of waterproofing and breathability, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I clean the reflective 3M detailing?

Clean the reflective areas gently with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid scrubbing or using abrasive materials that could damage the reflective coating.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

While GORE-TEX offers breathability, they are primarily designed for water resistance. In very hot and dry conditions, they might feel warmer than non-waterproofed sneakers.

What is the primary difference between this and a standard Air Jordan 1?

The main difference is the integration of GORE-TEX technology for enhanced weather protection, along with specific reflective detailing inspired by technical outerwear.

How does the fit compare to other Air Jordan 1 models?

The fit is generally consistent with the standard Air Jordan 1 silhouette. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

What does the 'Light Bone' colorway refer to?

'Light Bone' describes the primary off-white or very pale beige color of the shoe, complemented by tonal grey overlays.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency over time.

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is clean. Follow care instructions for cleaning and consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if recommended for GORE-TEX footwear.

Creasing on leather overlays.

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Stuffing the shoes with paper when not in use can help maintain shape.

Discoloration of the 'Light Bone' colorway.

Clean spills or marks immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

  • Preserves the beloved Air Jordan 1 aesthetic.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sneakers require no setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit.

Compatibility:

Designed as adult male footwear, the Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX is compatible with standard casual wear. They pair well with jeans, shorts, and athleisure outfits.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the leather and Durabuck. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. GORE-TEX Maintenance: To maintain the GORE-TEX performance, periodically clean the shoe's exterior. Follow manufacturer guidelines for GORE-TEX fabric care if specific cleaning products are recommended.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity.
