FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for sports?
While based on basketball history, these are modern lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear rather than high-intensity athletic performance.
How does the sizing run for this model?
The Air Jordan 3 generally fits true to size, but those who prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks may want to consider a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the adhesive; stick to hand-cleaning methods.
Is the olive green colour prone to fading?
Like any dyed leather, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Storing them in the original box when not in use is recommended.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium leather with synthetic elephant print detailing on the overlays.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Creasing is a natural result of the leather breaking in; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.
Dirt stuck in elephant print grooves
Use a soft toothbrush dipped in a mild soapy solution to gently scrub the recessed areas of the print.
Soles losing traction
Wipe the gum outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup, which often restores grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 3s remain in peak condition, follow these care steps:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the leather and elephant print areas.
- Leather Care: Apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent cracking, especially if worn in dry climates.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the olive green leather.
- Moisture Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray compatible with leather to protect against accidental spills or light rain.
