FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, the Retro Low OG University Red is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For optimal performance and support in sports, specialized modern basketball shoes are recommended.

How do I best clean the University Red portions of the shoe?

For the `University Red` leather areas, use the same gentle leather cleaner and soft cloth method as for the white leather. Avoid harsh chemicals that could potentially discolor the vibrant red hue.

Do Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG sneakers run true to size?

Generally, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG models tend to fit true to size. It's recommended to try them on if possible or refer to a size guide if you're unsure.

What does 'OG' mean in the product name?

`OG` stands for 'Original' or 'Original Release'. It signifies that the shoe's design, color blocking, and materials are faithful to the original 1985 release of the Air Jordan 1.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather sneakers like the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always opt for spot cleaning and hand washing methods.

How can I protect the white leather from yellowing over time?

To prevent yellowing, store your sneakers in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight or harsh artificial light. Using silica gel packets in the box can help control humidity, and applying a UV-protective spray can also offer some defense.

Troubleshooting

White leather upper appears dirty or scuffed

Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush or microfiber cloth to gently scrub the affected areas. For scuffs, a white leather conditioner can sometimes help to blend them in. Regular protective sprays can prevent future marks.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder inside the shoe before replacing the insole. Ensure laces are tied properly, as loose laces can also cause movement and noise.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing your sneakers. You can also purchase `crease protectors` to insert into the toe box while wearing them. Avoiding overtightening laces can also reduce pressure on the toe box area.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG University Red sneakers:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the `leather upper` with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove surface dirt and dust.
  2. Spot Treatment: For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede before the first wear, and reapply periodically.
  4. Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper or shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape and prevent creasing.
