Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG - Gold - UK 5

These sneakers are crafted primarily from genuine leather for the upper, with a solid rubber outsole and encapsulated Air-Sole cushioning units inside the midsole.

While the original Air Jordan 1 was a performance basketball shoe, this 'Retro High OG' version is remastered for lifestyle and casual wear. It's best suited for daily comfort and style, not high-performance athletic activities.

The metallic gold accents should be cleaned gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the finish.

Generally, Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG models tend to run true to size for most individuals. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.

Air-Sole cushioning refers to Nike's patented technology where pressurized air is encapsulated in a durable, flexible bag within the shoe's midsole. This provides lightweight cushioning, absorbs impact, and helps the shoe retain its shape.

To minimize creasing, use shoe trees when storing your sneakers, avoid overtightening laces, and try not to wear shoes that are too large. Regular conditioning of the leather can also help maintain its flexibility.

The genuine leather provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but these sneakers are not waterproof. For enhanced protection against water and stains, consider applying a specialized leather-safe water repellent spray.

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers. Avoid wearing excessively tight laces or shoes that are too large, which can contribute to more pronounced creasing. You can also gently stuff the toe box with acid-free paper for temporary shaping.

Genuine leather often requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations around the house initially. Over time, the leather will soften and mold to your feet, improving comfort. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

For light scuffs, a soft, slightly damp cloth can often gently rub them out. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner or a leather eraser. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking can sometimes occur if the insole rubs against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. This can reduce friction and noise.

Clean the rubber outsole and midsole using a mild soap solution and a soft brush or old toothbrush. For the Sail-colored midsole, avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve its retro finish. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
