FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Jordan 1 Mid Lakers are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for comfort and style during everyday activities. While they offer good support for light play, they are not engineered for high-impact or professional athletic performance.
How do I know if I'm getting the right size?
It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the brand's sizing chart. If possible, try the shoes on in person, as fit can vary.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, and proper drying is essential to prevent damage.
What is the primary inspiration for the colorway?
The colorway is inspired by the iconic purple and gold colors associated with the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team.
How often should I clean these trainers?
Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth after use is recommended to keep them looking fresh. Deep cleaning should be done as needed, based on the level of dirt and wear.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The Jordan 1 Mid silhouette is released in many colorways. This specific model is the 'Lakers' version, inspired by those team colors. Other colorways exist for the Jordan 1 Mid series.
What is the material of the shoe?
The upper is typically made of leather, providing durability and a classic look. The midsole offers cushioning, and the outsole is made of rubber for traction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the correct size was purchased; consider thicker or thinner socks as a temporary measure.
Leather scuff marks or stains.
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth or brush. For minor scuffs, sometimes a pencil eraser can be effective. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. If the slipperiness persists on certain surfaces, consider a light roughening of the sole with fine-grit sandpaper, though this may impact tread longevity.
Insole discomfort.
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. Consider adding a thin, supportive aftermarket insole if additional cushioning or arch support is needed.
