FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally designed for basketball in 1985, this 'Retro High OG' edition, especially with its premium materials and collectible nature, is primarily intended for casual wear and streetwear fashion rather than modern high-performance athletic use. Using them for intensive sports may cause premature wear or damage.

How do I best clean the different materials on this shoe?

For the black and tumbled golden leather, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. For the metallic gold accents on the upper and sole, use a very soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water and wipe gently. Always air dry away from heat. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing.

What does 'OG' stand for in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

'OG' stands for 'Original' or 'Original Release'. It signifies that the shoe is a retro release that closely mimics the specifications, materials, and color blocking of the original 1985 model, often including details like the Nike Air branding on the tongue tag.

How should I store these sneakers to maintain their condition?

Store your Air Jordan 1s in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using the original box or a breathable shoe bag can protect them from dust. Inserting shoe trees can help maintain their shape over time.

Is the sizing consistent with other Nike/Jordan shoes?

Generally, Air Jordan 1s tend to fit true to size for most people. However, fit can vary slightly between models and individuals. If you have narrow feet, you might find them slightly roomy; if you have wide feet, they might feel snug initially due to the leather construction. It's often recommended to stick to your usual Nike size.

Can I use waterproof spray on these shoes?

Yes, you can use a high-quality sneaker protector spray, especially one formulated for leather, to help repel water and stains. Always test the spray on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't alter the color or finish, especially on the metallic gold sections. Avoid sprays not specifically designed for premium sneakers.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or minor marks appear on the leather.

For light scuffs, gently rub with a clean, soft, slightly damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner and follow product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Metallic gold finish appears dull or has smudges.

Use a very soft, lint-free cloth (e.g., microfiber) lightly dampened with water to gently wipe the metallic surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive rubbing which can permanently damage the finish.

Squeaking sound from the sole.

Check the outsole for any small pebbles or debris lodged in the tread and remove them. If the squeak persists and isn't from debris, a light sprinkle of baby powder or talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help reduce friction.

Care Instructions

Proper care will preserve the premium look and longevity of your Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Gently wipe down the black and tumbled golden leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Cleaning the Metallic Gold Sections: For the high-shine gold areas, use an extremely soft cloth, possibly microfiber, dampened with plain water. Pat gently to clean and then air dry. Avoid excessive rubbing which could dull the finish.
  3. Outsole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush (like a soft toothbrush) and mild soap and water to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the leather.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  7. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray suitable for sneakers to help repel water and stains, especially on the non-metallic leather sections.
