FAQs

What does "RMSTD" stand for in the product name?

"RMSTD" likely refers to "Remastered," indicating a fresh take or re-release of a classic design, often with updated materials or specific aesthetic treatments like the aged midsole and cracked leather in this case.

Is the *cracked leather* finish supposed to be there, or is it a defect?

Yes, the *cracked leather* overlays are an intentional design choice to give the shoe a unique, vintage, and aged aesthetic, paying homage to older, worn sneakers. It is not a defect.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 has basketball heritage, this "Retro High OG RMSTD" version is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It offers comfort and traction for everyday wear but is not engineered for the high-performance demands of modern basketball.

How should I clean the blue and white leather?

For general cleaning, wipe the leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for genuine leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, especially on the *cracked leather* sections, to preserve the finish.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Air Jordan 1s generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly based on foot shape. If you are unsure, consider trying them on or consulting a size chart.

What kind of cushioning do these sneakers have?

These sneakers feature encapsulated Air-Sole units, primarily in the heel, which provide lightweight cushioning for enhanced comfort during daily wear.

Is the shoebox also distressed?

Yes, the shoebox for this particular "Reimagined" series has been given a distressed treatment to complement the vintage feel of the sneakers, almost as if it's straight from ‘85.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from genuine leather, providing both durability and a premium feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Genuine leather can take a few wears to break in. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.

Cracked leather appears different than expected or seems to flake.

The *cracked leather* is a deliberate design element for a vintage aesthetic. This is part of the product's unique character. Ensure you are not using harsh cleaning chemicals that could damage the specific finish.

Minor scuffs or marks appear on the leather.

For light scuffs, a soft, dry cloth can sometimes buff them out. For deeper marks, consider a specialized leather balm or conditioner to help blend them in, if desired.

Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.

While the solid rubber outsole provides reliable traction, ensure the outsole is clean. Dirt or debris can reduce grip. Avoid excessively smooth or wet surfaces if possible.

Care

  • Cleaning Leather: For the genuine leather upper, gently wipe down any dirt or dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions.
  • Cracked Leather Care: The *cracked leather* finish is intentional. To maintain its look, avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could alter the texture.
  • Rubber Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a soft brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape.
  • Air Cushioning: The encapsulated Air-Sole units are maintenance-free and designed for long-lasting cushioning.
