FAQs

How should I clean the premium leather on my Air Jordan 1s?

Gently wipe with a damp, soft cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this Retro High OG model is primarily designed for streetwear and casual wear. Its classic AirSole cushioning offers comfort, but modern basketball shoes often feature more advanced performance technologies.

How do I maintain the metallic gold finish?

To preserve the high-shine metallic gold, gently wipe it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents which could scratch or dull the finish.

What does "OG" mean in the product name?

"OG" stands for "Original," indicating that this shoe is a retro release that closely follows the design and specifications of the original 1985 Air Jordan 1.

Are shoe trees recommended for these sneakers?

Yes, using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather upper and minimize creasing when the shoes are not being worn.

What kind of cushioning does this model have?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG features encapsulated AirSole units in the midsole for lightweight comfort and cushioning, a signature technology from its original release.

Is there anything special included with this edition?

Yes, this special edition comes with unique packaging and a gleaming Jumpman keychain, enhancing its collectible appeal.

How can I ensure the best fit for my Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

These shoes are generally considered true to size. For the most accurate fit, it's recommended to try them on or refer to standard UK adult sizing charts.

Troubleshooting

Leather shows creasing after wear.

Creasing is natural for leather, but you can minimize it by using shoe trees when the shoes are not worn. Avoid excessive bending of the foot during wear.

Metallic gold accents appear dull or dirty.

Gently wipe the metallic areas with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.

Outsole traction seems reduced.

Clean the solid rubber outsole regularly with a brush and mild soap and water solution to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can affect grip.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The premium leather may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot, gradually increasing wear time.

Care for your Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is crucial to maintain its premium look:

  • Leather Care: For the durable leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the leather.
  • Metallic Gold Accents: To preserve the high-shine metallic gold, gently wipe these areas with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using solvents that could dull or strip the finish.
  • Outsole: Clean the solid rubber outsole regularly with a brush and mild soap solution to maintain traction and appearance.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather and prevent creasing when not in use.
