FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the GORE-TEX upper provides a high level of waterproofing and moisture-wicking, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently clean the surface and wipe with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can I wear these for basketball?
While inspired by basketball heritage, these are designed primarily as lifestyle sneakers. They offer good comfort and support for casual wear but are not optimized for the demands of modern basketball performance.
Do the reflective elements work well?
Yes, the 3M Swooshes and branding are designed to be highly reflective under direct light sources, such as headlights, enhancing visibility.
What is the primary benefit of the GORE-TEX in these shoes?
The primary benefit is enhanced weather protection, offering superior water resistance and breathability compared to standard sneaker materials.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consult a size chart for Air Jordan 1 models. Consider the socks you intend to wear with them, as this can affect the fit.
What is the difference between this and a standard Air Jordan 1?
The key difference is the inclusion of a GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable upper, along with enhanced durable overlays and reflective detailing, offering weather-ready functionality.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through the upper
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. Clean the exterior and consider reapplying a GORE-TEX specific waterproofing treatment. Check that laces are tied correctly and the tongue is properly seated to prevent water entry.
Reflective details losing effectiveness
Ensure the reflective surfaces are clean. Dirt or scuffs can diminish reflectivity. Gently wipe with a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Discomfort or poor fit
Verify you have the correct size. Air Jordan 1s can have a specific fit; try wearing them with the type of socks you typically use. Ensure laces are adjusted properly.
Material discoloration or damage
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Follow the specific care instructions for leather, Durabuck, and GORE-TEX materials.

Compatibility: Designed as a high-top lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While inspired by basketball heritage, they are best suited for everyday activities rather than rigorous athletic performance.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains on the GORE-TEX material, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Leather and Durabuck: Clean leather components with a leather cleaner and conditioner. For Durabuck, use a suede brush or eraser to remove marks.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX footwear to maintain its effectiveness.
