Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE Craft Pale Ivory different from regular Jordan mids?
▾
The Craft Pale Ivory version distinguishes itself with a muted ivory palette that tones down the typical bold Jordan colors, giving a more understated look. It also features a premium full-grain leather upper and a dedicated encapsulated Air unit in the heel, which together deliver a blend of classic heritage and modern comfort not always present in standard mids.
Does the shoe provide adequate support for light basketball activities?
▾
Yes, the mid-cut construction offers enough ankle stability for casual pick-up games and light indoor drills. The padded collar cushions the ankle, while the Air heel unit absorbs impact. However, the shoe lacks the extensive ankle support and aggressive outsole pattern of dedicated performance basketball shoes, so it’s best for low-intensity play.
How should I care for the leather upper to maintain its appearance?
▾
To keep the leather upper looking its best, clean the shoes with a soft brush or damp cloth after each wear to remove dust. Apply a thin layer of leather conditioner every few weeks, and protect the surface with a water-repellent spray designed for full-grain leather. Store them in a breathable shoe bag to avoid moisture buildup.
Is the sizing true to standard US men's sizes?
▾
The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE Craft Pale Ivory follows standard US men’s sizing, so you can select your usual size. Many wearers find the fit true-to-size, though the leather may stretch slightly after a few wears, offering a more relaxed feel. If you have a narrow foot, consider trying a half size larger for added comfort.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
▾
You can wear the sneakers in light rain, but the leather is not waterproof, so prolonged exposure may cause the material to soften or stain. For wet conditions, apply a leather-specific water repellent before use, and dry the shoes gently with a cloth afterward. Avoid soaking the shoes to preserve the leather’s integrity.
