Product Information

Full details

The Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Cool Grey' 2021 is designed for sneaker enthusiasts and fans of iconic basketball footwear. Its key benefit is the return of a beloved colorway with upgraded, premium materials, offering both style and durability. A potential caveat is that its retro nature might mean it appeals more to collectors than those seeking cutting-edge athletic performance. This release features a genuine leather upper, a matte-finished midsole, and signature elephant-print overlays, updated with vibrant hits of Sport Red and Orange Peel on the tongue, eyelets, Air unit, and heel tab.

Troubleshooting

Laces becoming worn or frayed

Replace with new laces of a similar length and material. Many retailers offer replacement shoelaces.

Leather showing creases or scuffs

Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner or conditioner. Avoid excessive flexing of the shoe.

Elephant print appearing faded

Ensure the shoes are stored away from direct sunlight. Use specialized cleaners designed for textured materials if necessary, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Discomfort or tightness

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, there is no complex setup required. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These are designed for general wear and lifestyle purposes. While inspired by basketball, they are best suited for casual use rather than professional athletic performance.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains on leather, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels or a shoe tree to maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and prevent creasing.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to help guard against water and stains, especially on the leather upper and elephant print areas.
