FAQs

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

The 'Lost and Found' version features a deliberately aged aesthetic, including cracked leather uppers and pre-yellowed accents, to mimic a pair that has been found after years of storage. Other Chicago releases typically aim for a cleaner, more pristine appearance.

Is the cracked leather supposed to look like that?

Yes, the cracked leather effect is an intentional design element of the 'Lost and Found' Chicago colorway, intended to give the shoe a vintage, worn-in appearance.

How should I clean the cracked leather parts?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the cracked areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the intended finish.

Are these good for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, the 'Lost and Found' edition is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes due to its special finish and materials. For performance basketball, newer, more specialized models are recommended.

What does 'OG' mean in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

'OG' stands for 'Original or Original Gangster', indicating that the shoe is a retro release that closely replicates the design and specifications of the original model released in that specific colorway back in 1985.

How do I maintain the vintage look?

To maintain the vintage look, avoid over-cleaning or conditioning the cracked areas too aggressively. Allow the shoes to develop natural creases and wear patterns over time, as this enhances the 'lost and found' aesthetic.

What size foot is a UK 10?

A UK size 10 typically corresponds to a US men's size 11 and a European size 45. It's always recommended to check specific brand size charts for the most accurate conversion.

Troubleshooting

Cracked leather appears to be excessive or peeling

The cracking is an intended design feature. If excessive peeling occurs beyond the aesthetic, it may indicate a manufacturing defect. Contact the retailer for potential resolution.

Sizing feels off

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG typically runs true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Ensure you have tried them on with appropriate socks. If there's a significant fit issue, consider exchanging for a different size if possible.

Color transfer from red accents

In rare cases, the red dye may transfer, especially when wet. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials when the shoes are new or damp. Condition the leather to help seal the color.

Sole feels stiff

The rubber cupsole will naturally become more flexible with wear. Break them in by wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Compatibility: The Air Jordan 1 Lost and Found Chicago is a versatile sneaker compatible with a wide range of casual apparel, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and athletic wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and sole. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner sparingly.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally. Avoid direct heat sources or prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can damage the leather and cause the pre-yellowed elements to fade unevenly.
  • Maintenance: Condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent excessive cracking beyond the intended aesthetic.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect from dust and moisture. Avoid stacking heavy items on top, which could deform the shoe or damage the cracked leather effect.
