FAQs

What materials are the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Taxi made of?

The trainers feature a premium leather upper with a nylon tongue and a durable rubber sole.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by basketball heritage, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid soaking the shoes.

What does 'OG' mean in the product name?

'OG' stands for 'Original'. In this context, it signifies that the shoe retains many of the design elements and specifications of the original 1985 Air Jordan 1 release.

What is the significance of the 'Taxi' colorway?

The 'Taxi' colorway (Yellow/Black/White) is inspired by rarely released 'Yellow Toe' samples that became highly coveted among collectors, making this release a nod to sneaker history.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these trainers are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the materials.

How does the sizing run for these trainers?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG typically runs true to size for most individuals. However, it is always recommended to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Specialized crease protectors can also be inserted into the toe box.

Discoloration of yellow accents

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean gently with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Ensure the shoes are dry before storing.

Squeaking sound

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole. Ensure laces are not too tightly knotted.
