Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Air Jordan 1 Mid University Blue Grey made of?
▾
The shoe combines a premium full-grain leather upper with synthetic overlays for added structure, while the interior features a breathable textile lining and perforated toe box. The heel houses an encapsulated Air unit, and the outsole is made of rubber with flex grooves for traction.
Does the shoe have any waterproof features?
▾
The Air Jordan 1 Mid does not include a waterproof membrane; the leather is treated for light water resistance but will absorb moisture in heavy rain. For wet conditions, consider applying a leather protectant or choosing a sneaker specifically designed for waterproof performance.
How comfortable is the cushioning for all-day wear?
▾
Cushioning is provided by an encapsulated Air unit in the heel, delivering responsive bounce without adding bulk. Combined with a padded collar and breathable lining, most wearers report comfort for eight-hour days, though those with high arches may prefer additional orthotics.
Is the sizing true to standard US men's sizes?
▾
The Mid version follows standard US men’s sizing, so a size 10 in the catalog corresponds to a typical US 10. Many customers find the fit slightly roomy in the toe box, so those who prefer a snug fit may size down half a size.
Can I use these sneakers for light basketball drills?
▾
While the shoe’s leather construction and Air cushioning can handle light court activity, it lacks the reinforced toe and high-top ankle support of performance basketball shoes. For casual drills or indoor pickup games, it performs adequately, but serious athletes should opt for a dedicated basketball sneaker.
