FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG typically fits true to size for adult feet.
Can I use these for playing professional basketball?
While rooted in basketball heritage, this model is designed as a lifestyle sneaker; modern performance shoes offer more advanced support.
How do I remove scuffs from the white leather?
Gently clean scuffs with a soft cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution, ensuring you dry the leather immediately afterward.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from premium leather with a nylon tongue.
Do these shoes need a break-in period?
Yes, the high-quality leather upper will soften and conform to your foot shape after several wears.
Where is the cushioning located?
The cushioning is provided by an Air unit embedded specifically in the heel of the midsole.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases at the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of premium leather; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is free of debris or dust, which can clog the tread patterns and reduce grip.
Discomfort during long walks
Ensure the laces are not too tight across the top of the foot and consider using a thin, moisture-wicking insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 1 trainers remain in good condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt buildup.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Maintenance: Use a leather-safe cleaner for the Bordeaux overlays to maintain color depth.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size; ensure you are utilizing the correct UK sizing provided for your specific model (e.g., UK 16).
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension, but avoid over-tightening as it can stress the eyelets.
