FAQs

What makes the 'Space Jam' colorway special?

The 'Space Jam' colorway is a tribute to the 1996 movie of the same name and incorporates design elements from the iconic Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Space Jam', notably the black patent leather uppers and icy blue translucent outsole.

Is this shoe a high-top or a mid-top?

This is the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE, meaning it features a mid-top silhouette, which sits lower on the ankle compared to the original Air Jordan 1 High.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium black patent leather.

Is the outsole clear or blue?

The outsole is translucent with an icy blue tint.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE 'Space Jam' is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. For serious on-court performance, dedicated basketball shoes are recommended.

How should I clean the patent leather?

Gently wipe the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

What is the release date and original retail price?

The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE 'Space Jam' was released on January 23, 2023, with a retail price of $135.

Can I find this in other sizes?

This guide focuses on the UK 13 size. Similar 'Space Jam' colorways and other Air Jordan 1 Mid SE models are available in a range of adult and kids' sizes.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on patent leather

Minor creasing is natural with wear. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper fit. Stuffing the shoes with paper or using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain their shape.

Squeaking sound

Squeaking can sometimes occur between the sole and the upper or due to moisture. Try cleaning the outsole and midsole thoroughly. If the squeak persists, a small amount of talcum powder applied under the insole might help.

Discoloration of translucent outsole

The translucent outsole can yellow over time, especially with UV exposure. Keep shoes stored away from direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for soles or careful use of a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Tight fit

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are initially snug, wearing them with medium-weight socks for short periods can help them stretch slightly to conform to your foot shape.
