FAQs
What does 'OG' stand for in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?
'OG' stands for 'Original' or 'Original Release'. It signifies that the sneaker is a faithful re-issue of the original 1985 Air Jordan 1 design, often incorporating period-accurate materials and detailing.
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While the Air Jordan 1 originated as a basketball shoe, this 'Retro High OG' version is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. Modern basketball shoes offer advanced performance technologies and materials better suited for athletic demands.
How do I protect the genuine leather from water damage?
To protect genuine leather, you can apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear. Always follow the product instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions if possible.
Is the sizing true to size for Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?
Generally, Air Jordan 1s are considered true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If you have wider feet, some users suggest going up half a size, but it's often recommended to stick with your usual shoe size.
What is the 'Air-Sole' cushioning?
Air-Sole cushioning refers to Nike's proprietary technology where compressed air is encapsulated in a durable, flexible bag within the midsole. This provides lightweight cushioning and impact absorption, offering comfort with every step.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, you can easily replace the laces to customize your look or if the original laces become worn. Ensure you choose laces of appropriate length and thickness for the Air Jordan 1 High silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Leather developing creases
Creasing is a natural characteristic of genuine leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers and avoid excessive bending of the foot. You can also condition the leather regularly to keep it supple.
Squeaking sound from the sole
New rubber outsoles can sometimes squeak. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. With regular wear, this usually subsides.
Dull or dirty metallic gold accents
Gently wipe the metallic gold accents with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For light grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing.
Loss of traction
Ensure the solid rubber outsole is clean. Dirt and debris can reduce grip. Clean the sole thoroughly with a brush and mild soap and water. If the tread is significantly worn, the outsole may need professional repair or replacement.

Care Instructions
To maintain the luxurious look and extend the life of your Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG:
- Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe the genuine leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protecting Gold Accents: The metallic gold elements should be wiped gently to avoid scratching or dulling their finish. Use a very soft cloth.
- Sole Care: Clean the solid rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap and water to remove dirt and maintain traction. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions like heavy rain or snow, as leather can be sensitive to moisture.
