FAQs
What does 'OG' mean in Jordan 1 Retro High OG?
'OG' stands for 'Original Game' or 'Original'. In the context of Jordan 1s, it signifies that the shoe is a retro release that closely mimics the specifications and design of the original models released in 1985.
Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?
While the Jordan 1 has roots in basketball, the 'Retro High OG' models are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They may not offer the advanced performance features and support required for modern competitive basketball.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. The Jordan 1 Retro High OG generally fits true to size for most people, but individual foot shape can vary. This guide specifically refers to a UK 8.
What is the 'All-Star' theme?
The 'All-Star' theme typically refers to special editions released around the NBA All-Star Game. These often feature unique colourways and design elements to commemorate the event. This specific model uses a 'Cool Grey' colourway.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. The leather and suede materials can be damaged by excessive moisture. Use protective sprays and avoid puddles.
What other sizes are available?
This specific product variant is for UK 8. However, the Jordan 1 Retro High OG series is typically released in a wide range of adult sizes, including UK 13, UK 9, UK 6.5, UK 7, UK 16, UK 12, UK 7.5, and UK 6, among others.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather
Minor creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage. For significant creasing, professional restoration may be considered.
Discoloration of the sole
Yellowing of the sole can occur over time due to oxidation. Keep shoes clean and store away from direct sunlight. Specialized sole cleaners can help mitigate yellowing.
Laces wearing out
Replace laces with standard sneaker laces of a similar length and material. Ensure replacement laces complement the shoe's colourway.
