Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG - Black Metallic Gold - Trainers - UK 5

The upper is primarily crafted from patent leather, with gold lacquer details on the Swooshes and ankle collar.

This 'Black Metallic Gold' colorway was retro-released in November 2020.

While they are based on a basketball shoe silhouette, this retro is intended for lifestyle wear. For actual basketball performance, consider modern performance basketball shoes.

Gently wipe the gold accents with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the finish.

'OG' stands for 'Original'. In this context, it signifies that the shoe is a retro release that closely resembles the original design and specifications of the first Air Jordan 1 model.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a dust bag is also recommended.

This detail adds a unique visual flair to the shoe, combining a dark, speckled base with a hint of the metallic gold theme, distinguishing it from standard sole designs.

Creasing is natural with patent leather. To minimize it, avoid over-flexing the shoe by wearing it loosely or using shoe trees when not in use. Do not attempt to 'iron out' creases as this can cause permanent damage.

Gently wipe scuffs with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could further damage the finish.

Natural aging and exposure to UV light can cause yellowing. While difficult to reverse completely, keeping the shoes stored away from light can slow the process. Specialized sole cleaners or a *very cautious* application of a sole brightener might help, but can risk damaging the rubber.
