FAQs

What does 'KO' in Air Jordan 1 KO Low signify?

The 'KO' in Air Jordan 1 KO typically signifies that the shoe is constructed with a canvas upper, distinguishing it from the traditional leather Air Jordan 1 models.

How do I change the velcro Swooshes?

Gently peel off the existing Swoosh from the velcro backing on the shoe. Align the new Swoosh with the velcro area and press firmly to attach.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These are primarily fashion sneakers designed for lifestyle wear. While comfortable, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities.

What is the significance of the UN/LA tag?

The UN/LA tag is a nod to the collaboration with Union Los Angeles, a renowned sneaker boutique.

What size should I order if I'm unsure?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. For Jordan 1 Low models, they generally fit true to size, but variations can occur between different constructions (e.g., leather vs. canvas).

How durable is the canvas upper?

Canvas is a durable material, but it can be more susceptible to scuffs and stains than leather. Proper care will help maintain its appearance and longevity.

Where can I find replacement velcro Swooshes?

Replacement Swooshes are typically not sold separately by the brand. They are usually included as part of the original release packaging or might be available through secondary marketplaces.

Troubleshooting

Swoosh velcro not sticking securely.

Ensure both the Swoosh and the shoe's surface are clean and dry. Lint or debris can reduce adhesion. If worn, consider a gentle cleaning of the velcro hooks and loops.

Creasing on the upper material.

Some creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid activities that put excessive stress on the toe box.

Discoloration from material transfer.

Avoid prolonged contact with darker colored clothing or materials, especially in damp conditions, as color transfer can occur. Clean gently with a damp cloth.

  • Swoosh Care: When changing the velcro Swooshes, do so gently to avoid damaging the material or the velcro itself. Ensure the Swoosh is properly aligned before attaching.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape.
  • Material Specifics: Pay attention to the specific materials (e.g., leather, canvas, suede accents if present) and consult specialized cleaning guides if needed.
