FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 has basketball roots, this retro reissue is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. For rigorous athletic performance, dedicated modern basketball shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the patent leather material?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be applied carefully with a cloth, followed by a clean damp cloth rinse. Always air dry.

Will the metallic gold color fade?

With proper care and avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive abrasion, the metallic gold accents should maintain their shine. Store them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

What does 'Retro High OG' mean?

'Retro' indicates it's a re-release of a classic design. 'High' refers to the high-top cut. 'OG' stands for Original, meaning this version aims to be as close as possible to the initial 1985 release in terms of materials, shape, and branding.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, patent leather can be susceptible to water damage and long-term exposure to moisture is not recommended. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their appearance and material integrity.

What is the sizing like for these trainers?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG generally fits true to size for most individuals. However, slight variations can occur. It's recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Patent leather shows creases

Creasing is natural with patent leather. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit, use shoe trees when storing, and avoid overly tight lacing. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain the surface.

Gold accents losing shine

Gently buff the metallic gold areas with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using polishes or chemicals that are not specifically designed for metallic finishes on footwear.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather or insoles. Try wearing them for a few more sessions to break them in. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Compatibility: The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG trainers are designed for unisex adult wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the patent leather. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the patent finish.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use. Consider storing them in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and scratches.
