FAQs

What makes the 'Self-Expression' design unique?

The 'Self-Expression' design features a layered construction with a unique fade effect, revealing a clean white underlayer. This is intended to provide a base for personal customization and unique styling.

What material are these trainers made from?

These trainers are primarily made from denim.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While they share the silhouette of a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Self-Expression' is best suited as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear and is not designed for the demands of competitive basketball.

How should I clean the denim material?

It is recommended to use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners which could damage the denim and the layered design.

Can I remove the faded color layers?

The design incorporates a fade effect and underlying layers. While minor wear might occur naturally, significant removal of these layers would likely require deliberate modification and could impact the shoe's structure and appearance.

What size range are these available in?

These trainers are available in adult men's UK sizing.

Is the white underlayer meant to be revealed?

Yes, the design intentionally reveals a clean white underlayer through the fade effect on the Swoosh and panels, offering a canvas for customization.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you have accurately measured your foot according to UK sizing standards. Refer to the brand's size chart for precise conversions. If still unsure, consider trying them on in-store if possible.

Color bleeding or fading on custom modifications

Use high-quality, footwear-specific paints or dyes. Always apply a sealant after customization. Allow adequate drying time between layers and before wear.

Denim material feels stiff

Denim will naturally soften with wear. You can gently flex the shoes or wear them for short periods initially to break them in.

Swoosh or panel colors are not as expected

The 'Self-Expression' design features a fade effect and a layered underlayer that may appear different in various lighting conditions. Ensure you are viewing them in natural light.
