FAQs

Does the Air Jordan 1 85 fit true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard Nike sizing, though the stiffer materials may feel slightly more snug initially than modern trainers.

Is this a performance basketball shoe?

While based on a basketball shoe, this is a lifestyle re-release and lacks the modern cushioning technology found in current performance basketball footwear.

How should I store these trainers?

Keep them in a cool, dry place inside their box or on a rack, ideally using shoe trees to maintain the structural integrity of the heel and toe box.

Are the materials used the same as the original 1985 release?

The 85 series focuses on reproducing the materials and build quality of the original as closely as possible, utilizing premium leather and suede.

Can I clean the suede with water?

Avoid using water on suede, as it can cause staining or texture damage. Always use dry cleaning methods like brushing or specific suede erasers.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too stiff during the first few wears.

This is normal for the '85 cut. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Minor scuffs on the suede panels.

Gently use a dry, clean suede brush or a specialized suede eraser to buff out the mark without damaging the nap of the material.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Jordan 1s maintain their condition, avoid exposing them to harsh moisture or direct mud. Since the shoe features suede underlays, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and a dedicated suede eraser for minor stains. For the leather panels, wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth. Always store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or color fading. Use shoe trees to help the trainers maintain their structured heel shape when not in use.
