FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Air Jordan 1 Low SE sneakers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.

How durable is the white leather?

The genuine leather upper is durable and designed for daily wear. However, white leather, by its nature, can show scuffs and dirt more prominently. Regular cleaning and care are recommended to maintain its pristine appearance.

Can I wear these for sports or basketball?

While inspired by basketball footwear, the `Air Jordan 1 Low SE` is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For optimal performance in sports, dedicated athletic shoes are recommended.

What is the best way to clean the white parts of the shoe?

For general cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning or stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaning kit with a soft brush and specialized leather cleaner is recommended. Always spot test cleaners in an inconspicuous area first.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The `Air Jordan 1 Low SE` features an encapsulated `Nike Air unit` which provides lightweight cushioning for everyday comfort. For individuals requiring significant arch support, aftermarket insoles may be considered.

Is the `Wings` logo stitched or printed?

The `Wings` logo on the heel of the `Air Jordan 1 Low SE` is typically embossed or stitched, adding to the premium feel and durability of the design detail.

How can I prevent creasing?

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear with wear. To minimize creasing, you can use shoe trees when storing your sneakers and avoid overtightening the laces which can put excess stress on the toe box. Regular leather conditioning can also help maintain leather suppleness.

Troubleshooting

White leather has scuff marks or dirt.

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp, soft cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner or a sneaker cleaning solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean. For nubuck areas, use a nubuck eraser or brush.

Shoes feel less comfortable after extended wear.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. While the `Air-Sole unit` provides cushioning, consider replacing insoles with aftermarket athletic insoles if additional arch support or cushioning is desired after significant wear.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the sole. Remove the insole, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinsert the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be the outsole, which usually resolves with more wear.

Leather appears dull or dry.

After cleaning, apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for sneakers. This helps to moisturize the leather and restore its natural luster, preventing cracks.

Care and Maintenance:

  1. Regular Cleaning: For the white leather, regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush, gently scrubbing in circular motions.
  2. Stain Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather and nubuck before initial wear to help repel water and stains.
  3. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
  5. Nubuck Care: Use a dedicated nubuck brush to gently restore the nap of the nubuck leather and remove surface dirt. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
