Full details

The Sail midsole adds a retro feel, complemented by the natural rubber outsole, while the iconic Air Jordan Wings logo and "NIKE AIR" lettering on the tongue complete the distinctive look.

FAQs

What material is the Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black Metallic Gold made from?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather, providing durability and a classic look. The outsole is made of solid rubber.

How do I clean the metallic gold accents?

Gently wipe the gold accents with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While the Air Jordan 1 silhouette has basketball roots, the Retro High OG is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. The solid rubber outsole offers good traction for everyday activities.

What does the 'OG' in the product name signify?

'OG' stands for 'Original', indicating that this release is a faithful reproduction of the original design and color blocking of the Air Jordan 1 from its initial release era.

How should I store these trainers to preserve their condition?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

What is the typical break-in period for these trainers?

Due to the premium leather upper, expect a slight break-in period. Wearing them for short durations initially will help the leather mold to your foot for optimal comfort.

Is the sizing consistent with other Jordan 1 models?

Generally, Jordan 1 High OG models fit true to size for most people. However, it's always recommended to check specific sizing charts or reviews if you are unsure.

Troubleshooting

Laces become dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent or place in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.

Leather scuffs or marks appear

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away marks. For persistent scuffs, consider a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Midsole shows discoloration or dirt

Gently clean the midsole with a magic eraser or a cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Shoes feel slightly tight initially

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the premium leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for comfort.
