Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Banned - Black/Red - UK 9

The 'Banned' nickname originates from the story of the original Air Jordan 1, which was reportedly banned by the NBA for violating uniform regulations, creating a legendary backstory for the shoe.

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Banned is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for competitive athletic performance.

The best way to ensure a correct fit is to try them on. They should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. Compare with your usual UK shoe size.

While less common with modern manufacturing, it's always best to avoid excessive moisture and abrasive cleaning, especially on the red areas, to prevent color transfer.

The 'OG' designation typically refers to a reissue that is closer to the original design specifications of the first release, including shape, materials, and branding details.

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the leather and potentially affect the color.

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-bending the shoe when walking and store with shoe trees to maintain shape.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. If discoloration occurs, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a specialized shoe insert to the insole.
