Full details

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike LeBron 3 sneakers remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the patent leather from cracking or the colors from fading.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the suede panels. For leather and patent leather areas, use a damp cloth with mild soap; do not submerge the shoes in water.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. It is advisable to wear them with mid-weight socks to maintain comfort around the padded collar.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the metallic silver hardware for any moisture buildup to prevent oxidation.
