FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

Generally, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG fits true to size for most individuals. We recommend ordering your usual size.

How do I best clean the metallic gold sections?

For the metallic gold accents, use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust and fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the finish.

Can I wear these Air Jordans for basketball or other sports?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this retro release is designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. We do not recommend using them for performance sports as it can damage the premium materials and affect their longevity.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from premium leather, providing both durability and a luxurious feel.

How can I prevent creases in the toe box?

To help prevent creasing, store your sneakers with shoe trees inserted when not in use. You can also purchase specific crease protectors to wear inside the shoe, which sit above the toe box.

Is this a limited edition sneaker?

Many Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG releases, especially those with unique colorways like Metallic Gold, are produced in limited quantities and can be highly sought after by collectors.

What kind of socks should I wear with these high-top sneakers?

For comfort and to protect the inside of the shoe, we recommend wearing crew socks or ankle socks that extend above the collar of the shoe. This also helps absorb moisture.

Troubleshooting

Creasing appears on the toe box.

This is common with leather sneakers. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing and try not to overtighten laces across the forefoot. There are also specific crease protectors available.

Metallic gold accents look dull or scratched.

Gently wipe the metallic areas with a dry, soft microfiber cloth to restore shine. For light scratches, specialized metallic paint pens or carefully applied clear coat may help, but consult a professional for best results to avoid damage. Avoid harsh cleaners.

Leather feels stiff or dry.

Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner with a soft cloth. Allow it to soak in, then buff off any excess. This will help keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.

Sizing feels uncomfortable or too tight.

The Air Jordan 1 generally fits true to size. If uncomfortable, ensure you're wearing appropriate socks. New leather sneakers may require a break-in period. If persistent, consider re-evaluating your usual size or trying a half-size up or down in a store.

Difficulty keeping the white midsole clean.

Regularly clean the midsole with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn marks, sneaker cleaning solutions specifically designed for midsoles can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and dirt.
  2. Leather Conditioning: Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
  3. Metallic Gold Care: Gently clean metallic areas with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the finish.
