FAQs

What makes the 'Lost and Found' version different from other Air Jordan 1 Chicago releases?

The 'Lost and Found' edition features a unique distressed aesthetic with cracked leather uppers and pre-yellowed accents, designed to mimic a vintage, recently discovered pair of shoes. Other releases typically have a cleaner, less aged appearance.

Are the cracked leather uppers a sign of a defect?

No, the cracked leather is an intentional design element of the 'Lost and Found' model, meant to give the shoe a vintage, worn-in look right out of the box.

How should I clean the pre-yellowed sole and accents?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used very gently, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the best way to store these sneakers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this retro release is primarily intended for lifestyle wear. For actual basketball performance, modern performance basketball shoes are recommended.

What sizes are available?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Chicago Lost & Found is typically released in a range of adult sizes. Please check the specific product listing for available sizes.

Can I remove the distressed look if I don't like it?

The distressed elements are integral to the shoe's design. Attempting to remove them could damage the materials and will alter the intended aesthetic of the sneaker.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable

Allow time for break-in. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size.

Color transfer from leather to socks

This can occur with new, dark-dyed leather. It's recommended to wear dark socks initially. A leather sealant can also help mitigate color transfer.

Cracked leather appears to be worsening excessively

The cracking is an intentional design feature. However, if excessive peeling or separation occurs, consult the retailer or brand for potential manufacturing defects.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but like all rubber soles, can be slippery on very smooth or wet surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
