FAQs

Are these suitable for running?

These are lifestyle trainers designed for comfort and style during everyday activities, not for high-impact running or athletic performance.

How do I clean the elephant print?

Gently wipe the elephant print with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of soft, premium leather, with the iconic Cement Gray elephant print detailing.

How does the sizing run?

The Air Jordan 3 Retro generally runs true to size for most individuals. It is recommended to check sizing guides or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in wet conditions. The leather and elephant print can be damaged by excessive moisture, and the white midsole is prone to staining.

What is the significance of the "Court Purple" color?

Court Purple is a key accent color used on the collar, eyelets, Jumpman branding, and parts of the midsole, providing a vibrant contrast to the black leather and elephant print.

What comes in the box?

Typically, the shoes come in their original box. Some releases may include extra laces or special packaging, but this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.

Elephant print scuffing

Gently clean with a dry, soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

White midsole yellowing

Exposure to UV light can cause yellowing. Store away from sunlight and clean regularly. Specialized cleaners can sometimes reverse slight yellowing.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the lacing is appropriate for your foot's width and arch. Break-in periods for new leather shoes can take time.

  • Adds a statement piece to any sneaker collection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers straight out of the box. No assembly or setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, the UK size 12 fits as expected for this foot size. They are compatible with standard sock wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather and elephant print sections. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  2. Suede/Elephant Print: Avoid using excessive water on the elephant print areas. A soft brush can help remove light dust.
  3. Midsole & Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a magic eraser for stubborn marks on the white midsole.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Use shoe trees to maintain shape.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather and nubuck to protect against the elements.
