Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (First Use)
- Lacing: Unlace the sneakers partially to comfortably insert your foot. Adjust the laces to your preferred snugness, ensuring they are even.
- Break-In Period: Like most new shoes, especially those with a leather upper, your Air Jordan 1 Low Brooklyn may feel a bit stiff initially. Wear them for short periods at first to allow the leather to mold to your foot for optimal comfort.
Compatibility
- Sizing: These shoes are sized for adults (UK 9.5 for this variant) and are specified for women (WMNS). Generally, Air Jordan 1s are considered true to size, but individual foot shape can influence fit. Consider trying them on or consulting a size chart if unsure.
- Outfit Matching: The 'Black Gym Red' colorway is highly versatile. It complements neutral tones like black, white, and grey, and can also pop with denim or complement red accents in your clothing.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Air Jordan 1 Low Brooklyn sneakers.
- Cleaning:
- For light dirt, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth.
- For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the leather.
- Clean the rubber soles with a brush and mild soap solution.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against spills and light moisture.
