FAQs
Are the Jordan 13 Retro OG Chicago trainers suitable for playing basketball?
While the Jordan 13 was originally a performance basketball shoe, this retro model is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For serious basketball play, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the holographic emblem?
Gently wipe the holographic emblem with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on it, as this could damage the reflective coating.
What does 'OG' stand for in Jordan 13 Retro OG Chicago?
'OG' typically refers to 'Original,' meaning this release aims to replicate the design and materials of the shoe as it was first released.
How should I store my Jordan 13 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or using a shoe bag can help maintain their condition and shape.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is generally not recommended to wear leather trainers in heavy rain. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and away from direct heat. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the main difference between the Retro OG and other Jordan 13 releases?
The 'Retro OG' designation usually signifies a release that is closer to the original specification of the shoe, including materials, shape, and color blocking, compared to later or modified retros.
How does the sizing compare to other Jordan models?
Jordan trainers generally run true to size for most people. However, fit can vary slightly between models. It is recommended to check size charts and reviews if you are unsure.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not right, consider trying a different size or using thicker/thinner socks.
Material scuffs easily
Use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth for minor scuffs. For more significant marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a specialized shoe eraser.
Creases forming on the toe box
This is common with leather shoes. To minimize creasing, avoid overtightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Stuffing them with paper can also help maintain shape.
Color transfer from black to white areas
This can occur with new shoes or in wet conditions. Allow the shoes to dry completely and consider using a sneaker protector spray. For persistent issues, consult specialized cleaning guides.
