FAQs

What inspired the 'Brotherhood' colorway?

The color scheme is inspired by Omega Psi Phi, a fraternity that Michael Jordan joined during his time as a student at the University of North Carolina.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, the Retro High OG models are primarily intended for lifestyle and fashion wear. They offer good comfort but may not provide the advanced performance features of modern basketball shoes.

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Brotherhood?

The trainers feature a combination of premium leather quarter panels, Nubuck overlays, a leather toe box, and leather wraparound overlays at the collar and heel.

How do I clean the Nubuck parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush to gently clean Nubuck. For tougher dirt, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid water and harsh cleaning agents on the Nubuck material.

What does 'OG' stand for in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

'OG' refers to the original design or colorway, indicating that this release stays true to the classic specifications of the first Air Jordan 1 models.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Specific warranty information should be obtained from the retailer, Drop Zone. Typically, footwear warranties cover manufacturing defects.

Are these trainers unisex?

The product description indicates they are designed for adult males, but the AJ1 silhouette is widely worn by all genders.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when not wearing and avoid overly tight lacing. For significant creasing, specialized shoe crease protectors can be inserted.

Nubuck losing its texture

Gently brush the Nubuck with a suede brush in one direction to restore its nap. Avoid getting the Nubuck excessively wet.

Difficulty lacing evenly

Ensure laces are loose before putting on the shoe. Lace them evenly from bottom to top, ensuring consistent tension without overtightening.

Color transfer from dye

This is rare with quality materials but can occur. Ensure socks are colorfast. If color transfer is observed, clean the affected area gently with a mild soap and water solution.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
