The 'Cool Grey' features a predominantly grey palette accented with distinct 'Orange Peel' highlights on the tongue, eyelets, Air unit, and heel tab, offering a bold contrast to the subtle grey tones.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these retro trainers are best suited for casual wear. For intense on-court performance, dedicated basketball shoes are recommended.

How does the sizing run for the Air Jordan 3 Retro?

The Air Jordan 3 Retro generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit preference can vary. It's recommended to consult size charts and reviews if unsure.

What are the elephant-print overlays made of?

The iconic elephant-print overlays are typically made of leather or a synthetic material designed to mimic the texture and appearance of elephant skin.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the trainers.

What is the MPN for this product?

How do I clean the matte midsole?

Wipe the matte midsole with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Natural to leather products. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid excessive flexing.

Discoloration of orange accents

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth only.

Dirt on elephant print

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the textured areas. Avoid abrasive materials.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the Air unit is durable, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive wear. Consider rotating with other footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers straight out of the box. No setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male foot sizes (UK 8.5 in this specific variant). Compatible with casual wear, streetwear, and athleisure outfits.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Suede/Elephant Print: Use a specialized suede brush or a clean toothbrush to gently remove dirt from the elephant-print overlays. For suede components (if any), use a suede eraser.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and damage.
