FAQs

What does "Lost and Found" refer to in the name?

The "Lost and Found" name and design refer to the concept of finding a pair of vintage sneakers that have been aged and stored for a long time, giving them a unique, distressed, and historically rich appearance.

Is the cracked leather a sign of damage?

No, the cracked leather is an intentional design element intended to give the shoe a vintage, worn-in look, reminiscent of a pair found after years of storage.

How should I clean the pre-yellowed accents?

The pre-yellowed accents are part of the shoe's vintage aesthetic. It's best to clean them gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents that could remove the intended coloration.

Are these shoes suitable for basketball playing?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. For serious basketball play, modern performance basketball shoes are recommended.

What is the material of the shoe?

The shoe is primarily constructed from premium leather, featuring both smooth and intentionally cracked leather panels.

What year was the original "Chicago" colorway released?

The original "Chicago" colorway of the Air Jordan 1 was first released in 1985.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces can be removed and replaced. The shoe comes with additional lace options to customize its look.

Troubleshooting

The "cracked" appearance seems excessive or is flaking off.

The cracked leather is a designed feature meant to evoke age. If excessive flaking occurs beyond typical wear, it might indicate a manufacturing defect. Contact the retailer for potential options.

Uneven color or distressing on the shoe.

The "Lost and Found" aesthetic intentionally varies across the shoe to enhance its vintage look. Minor inconsistencies in color or distressing are part of the design and not typically considered defects.

Discomfort or fit issues.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the specific shoe requires a break-in period. The Air Jordan 1 generally requires some wear to mold to the foot.
