Air Jordan 1 Elevate Low - Black/White - UK 12

Generally, the Air Jordan 1 Elevate Low runs true to size. However, fit can vary slightly for individuals. We recommend trying your usual size. If you're often between sizes, you might consider sizing up by half a size, especially if you prefer a roomier fit or plan to wear thicker socks.

No, the Air Jordan 1 Elevate Low is designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe, not for performance basketball or other sports. Its platform sole and construction are optimized for style and everyday comfort, not the rigorous demands of athletic activity.

To prevent scuffs, be mindful of where you wear and store your shoes. Apply a leather protector spray before first wear. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner or cleaner designed for scuff removal can often help. Regular cleaning also prevents dirt from embedding and causing abrasive damage.

The primary difference is the `elevated platform sole` on the Elevate Low, which adds height and a distinct fashion-forward aesthetic. While both share the iconic Air Jordan 1 upper design, the Elevate Low features a thicker sole unit with integrated Air cushioning for a different feel and look, targeting lifestyle wear over athletic use.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees made of cedar or plastic can help maintain the shoe's original shape, especially for the toe box and heel, and prevent creases. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust.

Creasing is natural with leather shoes. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing. For existing creases, professional leather care products can help reduce their appearance. Avoid excessive bending of the foot where possible.

A squeaky sole can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with baby powder or cornstarch, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to trapped moisture in the sole unit which usually resolves with drying.

New leather shoes may require a break-in period. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug, but not overly tight, fit. Wearing thicker socks initially can also help. If discomfort persists, consider using blister prevention patches or thicker socks until the leather softens.

White leather and soles can show dirt easily. For leather, use a specialized white leather cleaner. For rubber soles, a magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and a small amount of water can be effective, gently scrubbing with a brush.
