FAQs

What makes the 'Lost and Found' colorway different from other Chicago Air Jordan 1s?

The 'Lost and Found' version intentionally features pre-yellowed accents and cracked leather uppers to mimic a vintage, aged appearance, unlike the typically pristine condition of other retros.

Are the distressed elements on the shoe intentional?

Yes, the cracked leather and pre-yellowed details are deliberate design choices to give the shoe a 'lost and found' aesthetic, simulating years of wear and storage.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by the original basketball shoe, this retro release is best suited for casual wear and collection. It offers good support for everyday activities but lacks the advanced performance technology of modern basketball footwear.

How should I clean the cracked leather parts?

It's best to avoid aggressive cleaning on the cracked leather. A gentle wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth is recommended. Avoid products that could further degrade or alter the distressed finish.

What does 'Retro High OG' mean?

'Retro' indicates it's a reissue of an older model. 'High' refers to the cut of the shoe around the ankle. 'OG' signifies that it's a faithful reproduction of the original 1985 design specifications.

Can I find this in other sizes or colors?

This specific guide focuses on the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Chicago Lost & Found in Red. While other Air Jordan 1 models and colorways exist, this particular 'Lost and Found' version is a specific release.

Troubleshooting

Creases appearing on the shoe.

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear and is an intentional design feature of this model, contributing to its vintage look. Embrace the natural wear.

Uneven color or texture on leather.

The 'Lost and Found' colorway features a deliberately distressed and varied leather texture with pre-yellowed accents to simulate age. This variation is intentional and part of the shoe's unique character.

Sole feels stiff initially.

Like many leather shoes, the sole may feel stiff upon first wear. Wear them for short periods to break them in; the cushioning will become more apparent with use.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the leather surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the aged finish. For the soles, a brush with mild soap and water can be used.
