FAQs

How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the brand's official sizing chart or compare with other UK-sized footwear you own. The listed size is UK 5 for this specific guide entry.
Can these shoes be used for playing basketball?
While they are inspired by basketball heritage, modern performance basketball shoes offer better support and cushioning. These are best suited for casual wear.
How often should I clean my leather Jordan 1s?
Clean them as needed based on wear and visible dirt. A light wipe-down after each significant wear is recommended, with deeper cleaning for heavier soiling.

Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural for leather shoes. To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid overly tight lacing.
Color transfer from blue to white areas
This can occur especially when new or wet. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks that might also transfer dye.
Slight discomfort or stiffness on first wear
The leather upper may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the correct size is being worn.
