FAQs

What does 'Retro High OG' mean for the Air Jordan 1?

'Retro' indicates it's a re-release of an older model. 'High OG' refers to the original high-top cut and often includes details like the 'Nike Air' branding on the tongue and insole, true to the 1985 original.

Is the patent leather on these shoes durable?

The patent leather provides a glossy finish and is relatively durable for casual wear. However, it can be prone to creasing and scratches, so careful handling is recommended.

Can I wear these for playing basketball?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is best suited for lifestyle and casual wear. Modern basketball shoes offer superior performance and safety features for the sport.

How do I clean the translucent sole?

Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, as this could affect the translucent finish or the gold speckles.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Air Jordan 1 generally has a standard width fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them snug, especially with the patent leather which doesn't stretch much. Consider trying them on if possible.

What year did this specific 'Black Metallic Gold' colorway release?

The 2020 retro release of the Air Jordan 1 'Black Metallic Gold' dropped in November 2020. Previous versions were released in 2001 and 2013.

How should I store my Air Jordan 1s to preserve their condition?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag protects them from dust and potential damage.

Troubleshooting

Patent leather appears dull or smudged

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For persistent smudges, use a cleaner specifically designed for patent leather, following product instructions carefully.

Creasing on the toe box

While some creasing is natural with wear, try to avoid sharp bends. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize creasing.

Soles appear dirty

Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole. For the translucent sole with speckles, be gentle to avoid damaging the finish or removing the speckles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a footwear product, there is no setup required. Simply ensure you have the correct size.

Compatibility: The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Black Metallic Gold' is designed as a unisex high-top sneaker, suitable for adult wear. It pairs well with various casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and joggers.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and dust from the patent leather. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the finish.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can warp the material.
  • Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them to prevent creasing or damage to the patent leather.
  • Protection: Consider using a patent leather protectant spray to help maintain the shine and offer some protection against minor scuffs, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
