FAQs

What does 'Reimagined' mean for this Air Jordan 1?

The 'Reimagined' series revisits classic Air Jordan models, incorporating modern twists or vintage-inspired treatments. For this 'UNC Reimagined' edition, it means integrating elements like cracked leather and an aged midsole to create a unique vintage feel while retaining the iconic colorway.

Is the cracked leather a defect?

No, the cracked leather overlays are a deliberate design choice. They are integral to achieving the vintage, aged aesthetic that is a key feature of this 'Reimagined' release.

Why does the midsole look yellowed or old?

The midsole is intentionally aged to give the shoe a retro, worn-in appearance. This design element contributes to the overall vintage theme of the 'UNC Reimagined' model.

How should I clean the leather upper?

For routine cleaning, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 has its origins on the basketball court, the 'Retro High OG Reimagined' edition is primarily intended for casual wear and as a collector's item due to its special materials and vintage design. We recommend dedicated basketball shoes for performance play.

What kind of cushioning do these shoes have?

These shoes feature Air Cushioning technology, which provides lightweight comfort and responsive impact absorption in the sole for everyday wear.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'UNC Reimagined' is crafted from high-quality leather.

Troubleshooting

The leather on my shoes appears cracked or worn.

This is an intentional design feature of the 'Reimagined' series. The cracked leather overlays are meant to give the shoe a vintage, aged look and are not a defect.

The midsole looks discolored or yellowed.

The midsole is deliberately designed with an aged appearance to enhance the vintage aesthetic. This yellowing is part of the product's intended look and is not a flaw.

My shoebox arrived looking damaged or scuffed.

The shoebox has been given a special distressed treatment to make it appear as if it's straight from 1985. This is part of the overall vintage presentation and not actual damage.

The shoes feel stiff when new.

Like many leather shoes, Air Jordans can feel a bit stiff initially. Wear them regularly to break them in; the leather will soften and conform to your foot over time.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the unique aesthetic and longevity of your sneakers:

  • Leather Upper: Clean the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the finish.
  • Cracked Leather Overlays: The cracked appearance is intentional. Clean gently to avoid removing the crackling effect. Avoid excessive scrubbing or folding that could exacerbate unintended damage.
  • Aged Midsole: The yellowed appearance is by design. Clean with a soft brush and mild soap if needed, but do not attempt to whiten or restore it, as this would alter its intended vintage look.
  • Rubber Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. A soft brush can help clean crevices.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. The distressed shoebox should also be handled with care to preserve its unique finish.
