Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG - Black - UK 8

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, the Retro High OG models are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer excellent style and comfort for daily use but are not optimized for high-performance athletic activities on the court compared to modern basketball shoes.

'OG' stands for 'Original.' It signifies that the shoe's design, including the shape, materials, and branding, closely replicates the specifications of the very first Air Jordan 1 released in 1985.

Air Jordan 1s generally run true to size. It's recommended to order your usual shoe size. However, if you are between sizes or prefer a specific fit, consulting a size chart or trying them on can be helpful.

The premium leather upper is durable but not fully waterproof. While light rain may not cause immediate damage, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can potentially damage the leather and affect the shoe's longevity. It's best to avoid wearing them in severe wet weather or to use a water-repellent spray designed for leather footwear.

No, the Air-Sole unit in the heel of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is encapsulated within the sole and is not visible from the exterior. It provides discreet, lightweight cushioning.

For the white midsole, use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with a mild soap solution (like dish soap and water) or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Gently scrub the surface, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Many Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG releases come with additional sets of laces in complementary or contrasting colors, allowing for personalization. Check the packaging upon purchase to confirm for your specific pair.

Clean the leather upper with a specialized leather cleaner, then apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore its luster and suppleness.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to trapped moisture in the sole unit; allow the shoes to air dry completely.

Ensure you are lacing the shoes correctly; sometimes loosening the laces in specific areas can improve comfort. If the issue persists, try wearing thinner socks or allow for a short break-in period, as leather can adapt to your foot over time. If they are consistently uncomfortable, consider re-evaluating your size.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that might be impacting traction. A soft brush and mild soap with water can be effective. Ensure the outsole is completely dry before wearing again.
