FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity sports?

While the AJ3 has heritage court roots, the TEX edition is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use.

How does the TEX material differ from regular leather AJ3s?

The TEX variant uses mixed-material textiles designed for enhanced durability and a modern aesthetic rather than traditional smooth leather.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the structural adhesives and the Air unit. Always stick to manual spot cleaning.

Is the sizing consistent with other Jordan 3 models?

Yes, they generally follow standard Jordan 3 sizing, but it is recommended to account for the thickness of the internal padding.

What is the primary benefit of the Air unit?

The Air unit in the heel provides essential impact protection and energy return, reducing foot fatigue during long days.

How do I protect the light Fossil and Sail colors?

Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for synthetic and textile footwear can help prevent dirt absorption.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

Use a shoe tree when the sneakers are not in use to help the materials maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.

Surface dirt on textile panels

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently sweep away loose particles. Avoid scrubbing too hard, which may damage the textile fibers.

Difficulty maintaining a secure fit

Ensure the laces are threaded through all available eyelets and double-knot if necessary; verify the sizing is appropriate for your foot width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Jordan 3 Retro TEX remains in top condition, start by loosening the laces fully to prevent stress on the eyelets when putting them on. Because the upper features a unique TEX mixed-material construction, avoid using harsh industrial cleaners. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris after use. If you encounter liquid stains, gently dab the area with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the Starfish accents, and consider using a shoe tree to maintain the silhouette's structural integrity over time.
