FAQs

What does 'OG' mean in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

'OG' stands for 'Original.'

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is primarily considered a lifestyle sneaker. For serious on-court performance, modern basketball-specific shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the yellow leather parts?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the 'Yellow Toe' reference?

The 'Taxi' colorway is a nod to the rare 'Yellow Toe' samples that were produced but not widely released, making this edition particularly appealing to collectors.

Can I wear these with shorts?

Yes, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Taxi' pairs well with shorts, especially for a summer streetwear look.

What is the material of the tongue?

The tongue is made of nylon for added comfort and durability.

How should I store these sneakers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Minor creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize severe creasing, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid bending the shoes excessively.

Color transfer from yellow to lighter socks

Newer, brightly colored dyes can sometimes transfer. Wearing darker socks or ensuring the shoes are fully dry before wearing can help mitigate this. If transfer occurs, wash affected socks immediately.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to let the materials conform to your feet. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Scuffs or marks on the leather

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove scuffs. For deeper marks, a leather repair kit or professional restoration might be necessary.
