FAQs

Is this an exact replica of the 1985 Air Jordan 1?

Yes, the '85 OG re-release is designed to be as close as possible to the original 1985 silhouette and color blocking.

What material is the shoe made of?

The shoe is primarily constructed from high-quality leather.

How should I clean these trainers?

Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, testing on a small area first. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, this retro model is best suited for casual wear and lifestyle use. It lacks the modern performance technology and support found in current basketball shoes.

What is the significance of the '85 OG designation?

The '85 OG signifies that this release is a retro of the original 1985 version of the Air Jordan 1, emphasizing historical accuracy.

How does the sizing run?

Generally, Air Jordan 1s fit true to size for most people. However, it is recommended to check size charts or try them on if possible, as individual fit can vary.

Where can I find other sizes?

You can often find other sizes through authorized retailers or secondary marketplaces. Check the 'variant_siblings' information for related product listings.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage.

Squeaking noise

Can sometimes occur due to friction between the tongue and laces. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or a silicone-based lubricant under the tongue.

Discoloration

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean with appropriate leather cleaners and conditioners.

Laces wear out

Replace laces with standard shoelaces of similar length and material. Many retailers offer replacement laces.
