FAQs

What makes the 'UNC Reimagined' special?

It's a modern take on the classic University of North Carolina (UNC) colorway, featuring intentional aged detailing like cracked leather and a vintage midsole to give it a 'lost and found' aesthetic, distinct from standard retro releases.

How do I care for the cracked leather and aged sole?

Handle these areas gently. For cracked leather, avoid abrasive cleaning. For the aged sole, clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, being careful not to rub off the unique finish. Always test cleaning products on a hidden spot first.

Are these shoes durable for everyday wear?

Yes, constructed with premium leather and nubuck, they are designed for durability in casual, everyday wear. However, like all sneakers, regular use will show natural signs of wear.

Does the packaging matter?

For collectors, the vintage-inspired, distressed packaging significantly adds to the shoe's unique appeal and collectible value, mimicking a 'lost and found' item.

Is the sizing true to size?

Generally, Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG models fit true to size for most individuals. If you are unsure, it's recommended to consult a Jordan Brand size chart or try them on if possible.

Can I use these for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a performance basketball shoe, the 'Retro' and 'Reimagined' versions are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion purposes. For serious athletic performance, modern basketball shoes are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box or upper materials

This is common with leather sneakers. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing the shoes. For existing creases, gently iron over a damp cloth on low heat (use extreme caution and test on an inconspicuous area first).

Sole separation or cracking

For new shoes, this is rare and may indicate a manufacturing defect; contact customer support. For older shoes, proper storage (avoiding extreme heat/cold) can prolong sole life.

Discoloration or staining on the aged elements

The 'aged' look is intentional. For unintended stains, use a very mild cleaner specific for distressed materials. Avoid harsh chemicals that could alter the unique finish.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a thin layer of baby powder underneath the insole.
