FAQs

What makes the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG SP unique?

This sneaker is unique due to its fusion of the Chicago and Shadow colorways, a DIY-inspired deconstructed aesthetic with exposed foam and zigzag stitching, and the signature Union LA yellow tag.

What is the significance of the 'aged' midsole?

The pre-yellowed, 'aged' midsole is a deliberate design choice to give the shoe a vintage, retro feel, complementing the deconstructed elements and hybrid colorways.

Can I wear these for sports?

While constructed with quality leather, these sneakers are primarily considered collectible and fashion items due to their unique design and collaborative nature. They are best suited for casual wear.

How do I care for the exposed foam elements?

The exposed foam is part of the design. Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaners, as this could damage the material.

What does 'OG SP' stand for in the name?

'OG' typically refers to the original or classic silhouette, while 'SP' often denotes a 'Special Project' or a premium, often collaborative, release.

Are there different color options available for the laces?

Yes, the shoe typically comes with multiple lace options, allowing wearers to customize the look and mix-and-match colors to complement the sneaker's design.

How does the sizing typically run for this model?

Air Jordan 1s, especially with premium leather, tend to fit snugly. It is recommended to consult a size chart and consider the intended fit when selecting your size.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

Refer to the sizing chart for Air Jordan 1s. Ensure you are comparing your foot measurement to the correct UK sizing. Consider the typical snug fit of Jordan 1s, especially with premium leather.

Discoloration on midsole

The midsole is designed with a pre-aged, vintage look. Slight variations in the 'aged' appearance are intentional. If significant, unintended discoloration occurs, ensure the shoes have not been exposed to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight.

Laces fraying or wearing out

Replace laces with a similar style from a reputable sneaker accessory provider. The mix-and-match nature allows for easy replacement with various color options.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with frequent wear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Consider your stride and avoid bending the shoe unnecessarily.

  • Versatile styling with custom lacing options.
  • Combines two iconic Jordan 1 colorways.

Cons

  • Specialized aesthetic may not be universally appealing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. The primary setup involves choosing your preferred lacing style. The shoes come with multiple lace options to allow for customization.

Compatibility: Designed for adult wear. Sizing is based on standard UK men's footwear. They are compatible with most casual apparel.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks on the leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Midsole Care: The pre-aged midsole should be cleaned gently. Avoid excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which could alter the aged finish.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather upper.
  4. Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
