FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for playing professional basketball?

While the Air Force 1 began as a basketball shoe, this specific edition is intended for lifestyle and casual wear.

What does 'Siempre Hermano' mean?

It translates to 'Always Brothers' in Spanish, representing the legendary bond between Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.

How should I clean the colored panels?

Use a soft brush to remove dust and a lightly dampened cloth for deeper cleaning, being careful not to soak the materials.

Are these shoes true to size?

The Air Force 1 typically fits true to size, though personal preference for fit may vary.

Can these be worn in wet weather?

It is recommended to avoid heavy rain as prolonged moisture can affect the materials and long-term durability of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Visible surface stains on the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Force 1 trainers remain in pristine condition, keep them away from excessive moisture and extreme heat. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently remove surface dirt from the leather or synthetic components. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these methods can compromise the structure and adhesives of the shoe. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the University Gold and Lakers Purple pigments.
