FAQs

What makes the "Taxi" colorway special?

The "Taxi" colorway is a significant release as it references the rarely released 'Yellow Toe' samples that were highly sought after by collectors for years. It offers a vibrant take on the classic Air Jordan 1 silhouette.

Are these suitable for basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage and featuring OG details, these are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear. For high-performance basketball play, dedicated performance basketball shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized leather cleaner to a soft cloth or brush and gently work on the affected area. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the difference between this and other Air Jordan 1 models?

The primary differences lie in the specific colorway ('Taxi' yellow, white, black) and the 'Retro High OG' designation, which signifies adherence to the original 1985 design specifications, including materials and construction.

Can these be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or snow to prevent damage and prolonged drying times.

What sizes are available?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Taxi is available in a range of adult men's sizes. Specific size availability can vary.

Do they come with special packaging?

Typically, Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG releases come in a special edition box that complements the shoe's design and theme. This often includes a standard Nike Air Jordan shoebox with unique color accents.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try inserting a thin insert or powder under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage. For existing creases, try stuffing the shoe firmly or using a shoe stretcher.

Discoloration of white panels

White leather can yellow over time, especially with sun exposure. Clean regularly with a leather cleaner. Store away from direct sunlight and consider using a UV-protectant spray.

Poor fit or discomfort

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. For initial wear, break them in gradually. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different lacing technique or an aftermarket insole.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks on the leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft brush.
