Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine appearance of your genuine leather Air Jordan 1 Mids.
Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray before the first wear to repel water and stains.
Regular Cleaning (Leather): Wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth, following the product instructions.
Sole Cleaning: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole and outsole.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the leather.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the toe box and prevent creasing.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather and materials.
Deep Stains/Damage: For persistent stains or minor damage, consult a professional shoe cleaner or leather specialist.
