FAQs

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 1 Mid Patent 'Black Gold' is primarily designed for lifestyle wear. For serious basketball performance, consider shoes engineered specifically for the sport.

How do I clean the metallic gold accents?

Gently wipe the gold accents with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solutions directly on the metallic finish to prevent damage.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these in wet conditions. Water can damage the leather and patent materials, and potentially lead to premature wear and discoloration.

What size should I get if I usually wear a men's UK 11.5?

This guide is for the UK 11.5 size, which corresponds to the Men's UK 11.5. Ensure you select your accurate size for the best fit.

How does the fit compare to other Air Jordan 1 models?

The Air Jordan 1 Mid generally offers a consistent fit. However, individual foot shapes can vary, so trying them on or consulting detailed sizing charts is always recommended.

Is the patent leather prone to cracking?

Patent leather can become brittle and prone to cracking over time, especially with excessive flexing or exposure to extreme cold. Proper care and avoiding harsh bending can help mitigate this.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on patent leather

Minor creasing is natural with patent leather. To minimize it, avoid overly tight lacing and store with shoe trees. For deep creases, professional restoration might be an option.

Scuff marks on glossy surface

For light scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth can help restore shine.

Discoloration from prolonged sun exposure

Store the sneakers away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or yellowing of the white leather and patent material. If discoloration occurs, professional cleaning may be needed.

Laces getting dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.

Compatibility: The Air Jordan 1 Mid Patent 'Black Gold' is designed for adult wear and pairs well with a wide range of casual apparel, including denim, chinos, shorts, and athletic wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Patent Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the glossy finish.
  2. Cleaning Leather Base: For the white leather portions, use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can cause the materials to crack or warp.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
