FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the premium leather can feel slightly stiff until broken in.

Can I use these for professional basketball games?

While they provide great support and traction, they are currently marketed primarily as lifestyle footwear.

How do I remove stains from the elephant print?

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution, scrubbing gently to avoid damaging the textured surface.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a temperature-controlled environment with shoe trees inserted to preserve the silhouette.

Do these shoes come with extra laces?

Please check your specific retail box, as inclusions can vary by specific release batches.

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing appearing on the toe box

Use shoe trees when stored and consider using crease guards to help maintain the leather structure.

Leather becoming scuffed or dirty

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit and a microfiber cloth for the leather; avoid harsh chemical solvents.

Squeaking sound while walking

Check if the insoles have shifted; if they have, remove them and re-align, or sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Jordan 3 Retros maintain their condition, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust after each wear. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white leather. When not in use, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the original shape and minimize toe box creasing. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature away from heat sources like radiators. For optimal fit, consider using thin performance socks if the leather feels too snug during the initial break-in phase.
