Air Jordan 3 'Rare Air' - Black - UK 7

The shoe features a black leather upper, distinctive grey suede overlays, and nubuck elements, complemented by a rubber outsole.

For leather and nubuck, use a sneaker-specific cleaner with a soft brush or cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and eraser. Always air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing.

Generally, the Air Jordan 3 'Rare Air' fits true to size. We recommend trying your usual sneaker size for the best fit.

The 'Rare Air' designation refers to its unique design elements, including mismatched and reversed Nike Air branding on the heel, grey suede overlays (instead of traditional elephant print), and its inspiration from early Jordan samples, emphasizing its distinctiveness and collector appeal.

While based on a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Rare Air' is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Its premium materials and collector-focused details are best preserved during everyday use rather than high-performance sports.

Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap for surface marks. For deeper scuffs on leather, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner may be used. For nubuck, use a nubuck eraser or a very fine grit sandpaper (use with extreme caution).

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the suede. A suede eraser can help with specific stains. Apply a suede protector regularly.

Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out thoroughly. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Replace insoles if odor persists.

Ensure proper storage away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. For existing fading, professional sneaker restoration services might be an option, but prevention is key.
