FAQs

Are the Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX truly waterproof?

Yes, the integration of a GORE-TEX membrane provides a high level of waterproofing and breathability, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?

Clean the GORE-TEX upper with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cool water. Avoid abrasive cleaners and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Can I wear these in the snow?

While the GORE-TEX offers excellent water resistance, these are primarily designed for rain and damp conditions. For deep snow, consider footwear specifically designed for winter conditions, although these will provide superior protection compared to standard sneakers.

Do the reflective elements actually work?

Yes, the 3M Swooshes and branding are designed to reflect light in low-light conditions, enhancing visibility.

What is the difference between this and a regular Air Jordan 1?

The primary difference is the inclusion of the GORE-TEX waterproof membrane in the upper, providing enhanced weather protection. They also feature specific reflective detailing and may use slightly different material compositions for durability.

What size should I order if I'm usually a US size 10?

This guide uses UK sizing. A UK 10 corresponds to a US size 11. Please refer to a reliable size conversion chart for accurate sizing between UK, US, and EU measurements.

What materials are used in the overlays?

The overlays are constructed from tonal grey Durabuck and leather for a premium look and feel.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the upper

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check for any visible damage or wear. If the shoe is new, verify that all laces are tied and the tongue is properly positioned. For persistent issues, consider re-applying a GORE-TEX specific waterproofing treatment.

Discoloration or material damage

Avoid harsh cleaning agents and direct heat for drying. Clean with mild soap and water only. Store away from direct sunlight.

Reduced breathability

The GORE-TEX membrane can become less breathable if the outer fabric is heavily soiled or contaminated. Clean the shoes thoroughly according to the care instructions.

Reflective elements losing reflectivity

Reflective materials can degrade over time with excessive abrasion or improper cleaning. Avoid scuffing and follow gentle cleaning methods.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weather protection due to GORE-TEX membrane.
  • Durable construction suitable for various conditions.
  • Stylish design that honors the classic Air Jordan 1.
  • Enhanced visibility with reflective accents.
  • Comfortable for extended wear.

Cons

  • Higher retail price compared to standard Air Jordan 1 models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, these sneakers require no setup. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: The Air Jordan 1 High Element GORE-TEX 'Light Bone' is designed for adult male wearers. They are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel, including jeans, joggers, and shorts. Their weather-resistant nature makes them suitable for year-round wear, though they are particularly beneficial in autumn and spring.

Care: To maintain the integrity of the GORE-TEX material and the leather/Durabuck construction:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to clean the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the waterproof membrane.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may wish to use a GORE-TEX specific re-waterproofing spray to maintain the outer fabric's ability to repel water, though the internal membrane provides primary waterproofing.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
