FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 1 Mid is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual wear and not for high-performance athletic activities.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from premium leather, providing durability and a classic aesthetic.

How do I clean the purple and gold overlays?

Gently wipe the overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or color.

What is the significance of the 'Lakers Purple' colorway?

This colorway is inspired by the iconic colors of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team, a nod to the Jordan brand's association with basketball culture.

What size does this guide refer to?

This guide specifically refers to the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Lakers Purple' in UK size 12.5 for adult males.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather can offer some protection, but it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the fit like?

The Air Jordan 1 Mid generally offers a true-to-size fit for most individuals. However, the fit can be adjusted with the lacing system. Referencing a sizing chart is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the official Air Jordan sizing chart for UK 12.5 and compare with your foot measurements. Ensure laces are properly adjusted for a snug fit.

Leather creasing excessively

Natural creasing is expected with leather. Using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep creases. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Soles appear dirty

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used carefully.

Color transfer from overlays

In rare cases, darker overlays may transfer color, especially when wet. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or materials when the shoes are new or damp. Ensure proper care and avoid excessive moisture.
