FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?
While they feature basketball-inspired support like the Air-Sole unit, they are designed as lifestyle trainers. They are suitable for casual pickup games, but professional players may prefer modern performance-specific models.
How should I clean the Air-Sole unit?
Wipe the visible Air-Sole unit with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dried thoroughly afterward to maintain the clarity of the material.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is durable, but not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the integrity of the material.
What size should I choose?
These follow standard adult male sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may want to consider this when selecting your UK size.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles can generally be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if you require additional arch support.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, most users find that the Jordan Son Of Mars Low fits true to size. If you are between sizes, consider the intended use, such as wearing thicker athletic socks.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
Wear them for short periods around the house to help the leather upper naturally conform to your foot shape.
Difficulty cleaning the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the finish.
Visible dirt in perforations
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris trapped inside the side ventilation panels.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are pre-formed sneakers, there is no technical setup required. To ensure maximum longevity and comfort, consider these steps:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short durations during the first week to allow the leather to soften naturally.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. Use a slightly damp cloth for tougher spots, avoiding excessive water saturation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather and midsole foam.
