Product Information
Full details
The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE 'Homage' in Black and White is designed for adults seeking a stylish and iconic sneaker that pays tribute to basketball heritage. Its key benefit lies in its unique split design, blending two classic colorways for a distinctive look. A potential caveat is that the 100% leather construction may require a break-in period for optimal comfort. This shoe features a split upper combining black and white leather, nylon tongues with Jumpman patchwork, and a durable rubber sole, offering a blend of iconic style and everyday wearability.

FAQs
What makes the 'Homage' colorway special?
The 'Homage' colorway is special because it features a split design that combines two legendary Air Jordan 1 color schemes, the "Bred" and the "Chicago" (black and white), right down the middle of the shoe.
Are these shoes made entirely of leather?
The upper of the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE 'Homage' is constructed of 100% leather, while the tongues are made of nylon.
What is the best way to clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water for cleaning. Avoid soaking the shoes and allow them to air dry naturally.
Are these suitable for basketball performance?
While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual wear, not for high-performance athletic activities.
How long does the leather typically take to break in?
The break-in period can vary, but generally, the leather will become more comfortable and supple after a few wears.
What is the primary inspiration for this shoe?
The shoe is inspired by the rich history and iconic colorways of the original Air Jordan 1, specifically referencing the "Bred" and "Chicago" aesthetics.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The leather upper offers some protection, but it is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in leather
Some creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially during the break-in period. Using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep creases. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Discoloration or scuffs
For minor scuffs on leather, try a leather cleaner or a magic eraser. For stubborn marks, consult a professional shoe cleaning service. Protect the shoes from excessive exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals.
Uneven fit
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the fit still feels uneven after a break-in period, consider using insoles or orthotics. Verify you have the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
