FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

The shoe size is UK 4 for adults. It's generally recommended to stick to your true size for Air Jordan 1s, but if you have wider feet, you might consider going up half a size. Refer to a brand-specific sizing chart if unsure.

Are these shoes suitable for basketball or sports?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this Retro High OG model is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. For high-performance sports, contemporary basketball shoes offer better support and technology.

What kind of leather is used?

The upper is constructed from premium leather, offering durability and a refined aesthetic.

How often should I clean these sneakers?

Regular light cleaning after each wear is recommended to maintain their appearance. A deeper clean using specialized leather products can be done every few weeks or as needed, depending on usage.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While premium leather is durable, it's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the material and prevent water damage. If caught in rain, wipe them dry immediately and let them air dry naturally.

What does 'OG' stand for?

'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that the design elements, such as the shape, branding, and color blocking, are faithful to the original 1985 release of the Air Jordan 1.

How do I prevent creasing on the toe box?

To minimize creasing, use shoe trees when storing them. You can also purchase sneaker shields or crease protectors to insert into the toe box when wearing them.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing

Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers. Avoid excessive bending. Apply leather conditioner regularly to maintain suppleness.

Squeaky soles

This can sometimes occur with new rubber outsoles. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole or wear them regularly to 'break them in'.

Scuffs or minor marks on leather

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For more persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush. For black leather, a black leather balm can help conceal minor scuffs.

Uncomfortable fit initially

The premium leather may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially, and they will gradually conform to your foot shape for enhanced comfort.
