FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature cushioning technology, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated performance running shoes.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with mild soap, and wipe gently. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Do these run true to size?
The Jordan Air Jordan 8 Retro generally fits true to UK adult sizing, though the high-top structure provides a snugger fit than low-profile models.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While leather is naturally resistant, it is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent damage and water spots on the material.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior is constructed from high-quality leather for both durability and a premium aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the laces significantly before entry; the high-top design requires a wider opening for easy access.
Squeaking sounds while walking
This is often caused by moisture inside the shoe; remove the insole to allow the interior to dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK adult sizing, keeping in mind the structured nature of leather uppers. To maintain the appearance of your Jordan 8 Retro trainers, clean the leather surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
