FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Jordan Air 8 Retro fits standard to size, though the high-top design provides a snug fit around the ankle.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While they feature basketball-inspired support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and retro trainers.
How do I clean the black leather?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp, non-abrasive cloth with mild soap for surface stains.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant, but not waterproof; avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Are they suitable for flat feet?
The structure offers good support, but you may replace the stock insole with custom orthotics if you require extra arch support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the material maintain its shape.
Difficulty putting on the shoe due to high-top construction
Loosen the laces fully from the bottom eyelets to increase entry space, then tighten systematically from the toe up.
Loss of cushioning feel
Check the interior for debris or worn-out insoles and replace the insole if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Jordan Air 8 Retro trainers maintain their condition, keep the leather clean by wiping them down with a soft, damp cloth after use in dusty or dirty environments. Avoid fully submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. If the leather begins to show signs of dryness, use a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
