FAQs

What makes the Air Jordan 1 Elevate Low SE different from a standard Air Jordan 1?

The primary difference is the elevated, chunky platform sole on the Elevate model, which provides extra height and a contemporary look, unlike the traditional sole of the classic Air Jordan 1.

Are these suitable for athletic activities?

These sneakers are primarily designed for fashion and casual everyday wear. While they offer comfort and support for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic performance.

How do I clean the university blue overlays?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains on the leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth, followed by wiping with a damp cloth.

What is the significance of the University Blue colorway?

The University Blue colorway pays homage to Michael Jordan's 1982 NCAA Championship victory, a pivotal moment in his career and basketball history.

Can I wear these with orthotics or custom insoles?

Yes, the removable insoles allow for the insertion of custom orthotics or alternative insoles, provided they fit within the shoe's structure and platform.

What material are the insoles made of?

The insoles are made of cork, offering a natural and comfortable feel underfoot.

How does the sizing run for these women's sneakers?

It is generally recommended to consult a size chart and consider trying them on if possible, as women's sizing can differ from men's or unisex models. They are listed with UK adult sizes.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees when not in use. Store them upright.

Discoloration from water exposure

Avoid wearing in heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Blot excess water with a clean cloth immediately.

Insole feels unusual

The cork insoles offer a unique feel. If uncomfortable, you can try replacing them with alternative insoles, ensuring they fit the shoe's platform design.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and maintain texture. Treat with a suede protector spray.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Insoles: The cork insoles can be carefully wiped with a damp cloth. Ensure they are fully dry before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
