FAQs

Is the Air Jordan 1 Retro High 85 OG suitable for sports?

While originally a basketball shoe, this model is primarily intended as a lifestyle and collector's sneaker. Modern athletic footwear offers better performance technology.

How does the sizing compare to modern Air Jordan 1s?

The 85 OG construction can feel slightly different due to its adherence to vintage specifications. It is generally recommended to stick to your standard size, though some may prefer a half-size up if they have wide feet.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium leather, reflecting the high standards of the original 1985 release.

How do I protect the leather?

Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to protect against minor spills and environmental elements.

What is unique about the 85 OG series?

The 85 OG series is specifically engineered to replicate the exact shape, heel cut, and branding of the original 1985 release, offering a level of historical accuracy not found in standard retro models.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box during initial wear

This is common with high-quality leather. Using shoe trees after each wear can help minimize deep creases and maintain the shape of the toe box.

Difficulty putting the shoe on due to high-cut design

Loosen the laces significantly from the bottom eyelets to provide more room for the foot to enter, then tighten gradually for a secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely faithful recreation of the 1985 original design
  • High-quality premium leather materials
  • Timeless and versatile grey and white color palette
  • Includes historical design nuances like the specific heel cut

Cons

  • High-cut silhouette may feel restrictive for some users
  • May require a break-in period due to the rigid material construction
  • Limited availability due to its nature as a collector-focused release

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Jordan 1s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust after each wear. If the leather becomes soiled, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean, avoiding excessive water which can damage the premium material. When not in use, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Utilizing a shoe tree can help maintain the integrity of the heel cup and the overall shape of the high-cut silhouette over time. Ensure you check your specific sizing requirements, as the 85 OG build may fit differently than contemporary, mass-produced versions of the Air Jordan 1.
