Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area

Dirt on the elephant print overlay

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 3 Retro trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to guard against environmental elements.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild leather cleaning solution for the upper. Avoid soaking the leather, as this can cause stiffness or cracking over time.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather yellowing or fading of the True Blue accents. Use cedar shoe trees to help maintain the original shape.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. If you have a wider foot, consider wearing thin-to-medium thickness athletic socks to ensure a comfortable internal fit.
