FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the integrated GORE-TEX upper provides a high level of waterproofing and breathability, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

Can I wear these in the summer?

The GORE-TEX material is breathable, making them suitable for wear in various seasons. However, like most leather trainers, they may be warmer than mesh-based alternatives in very hot weather.

What does 'Element GORE-TEX' mean?

It signifies that this specific model of the Air Jordan 1 incorporates GORE-TEX technology, enhancing its weather-resistant properties, inspired by performance outerwear.

How do I clean the reflective 3M Swoosh?

Gently wipe the reflective areas with a damp cloth. Avoid rubbing aggressively, as this can damage the reflective coating.

What is the main color of these trainers?

The main color is described as Light Bone or a creamy white, complemented by tonal grey overlays.

Are these suitable for athletic performance or just casual wear?

While built on an athletic silhouette, their primary design and materials are optimized for lifestyle wear and weather protection rather than high-performance sports activities.

What comes with the original packaging?

The product description mentions that the original packaging is included with the trainers.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the upper

Ensure all seams are intact and the GORE-TEX membrane is not compromised. Check for any punctures or excessive wear. Clean the exterior thoroughly as dirt buildup can sometimes affect performance.

Reflective elements losing reflectivity

Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning agents on the reflective surfaces. If the reflectivity is fading due to wear, it may be irreversible. Handle with care to prevent scuffs.

Unusual odor inside the shoe

Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda to absorb odors. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Try wearing thicker socks or using additional insoles for cushioning. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Their design makes them compatible with a wide range of casual outfits, fitting seamlessly into everyday wardrobes.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For stubborn marks on the GORE-TEX material, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the membrane or reflective elements.
  • Leather and Durabuck: Condition leather parts periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain suppleness. For Durabuck, use a suede brush to maintain texture and remove surface dirt.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as excessive heat can degrade the materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box to maintain their shape and protect from dust.
