FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 1 Mid is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer some support but are not recommended for high-impact basketball play which requires specialized performance footwear.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the sizing chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Given that sizing can vary, checking customer reviews for fit feedback is also helpful.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection against light moisture. However, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, it's advisable to opt for waterproof footwear or apply a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, typically after every few wears or when visible dirt accumulates. Regular light cleaning prevents dirt from setting in and makes deep cleaning easier.

What is the main difference between Mid and High Air Jordan 1 models?

The primary difference is the height of the ankle collar. Mid models have a shorter collar that sits below the ankle bone, while High models have a collar that extends above the ankle bone, offering more support and a different aesthetic.

Will the 'Sky J Purple' color fade over time?

Like most dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade. Proper storage away from direct sunlight will help maintain the vibrancy of the Sky J Purple color.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or tightness during initial wear

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.

Scuff marks on the leather

Gently clean the scuff mark with a soft cloth and a small amount of specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution. For persistent marks, a leather repair kit might be necessary.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For new shoes, a brief period of wear on varied surfaces usually improves traction. If slippage persists on smooth, wet surfaces, consider the limitations of the tread pattern for such conditions.

Color transfer from the shoe to socks

This can sometimes occur with new, deeply dyed materials. It is often temporary and may reduce with wear. Washing the inside of the shoe lightly with a damp cloth and allowing it to dry completely before wearing can sometimes help.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
