FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this 'Reimagined' edition with its unique cracked leather and aged details is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. We recommend using modern performance basketball shoes for athletic activities to preserve the aesthetic and integrity of these sneakers.

How do I maintain the 'aged' look of the midsole?

The aged look of the midsole is an intentional design feature. To maintain it, clean the midsole gently with a soft brush and mild soap solution, wiping carefully to avoid altering the finish. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.

Is the cracked leather durable?

Yes, the cracked leather is genuine leather and is designed to be durable. However, like all leather products, it benefits from proper care. Avoid harsh chemicals and regularly condition the leather to keep it supple and prevent excessive drying.

How do these fit compared to other Air Jordan 1 models?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi OG RMSTD generally fits true to size, consistent with most Air Jordan 1 High models. If you have worn Air Jordan 1s before, you can likely stick to your usual size. For best fit, measure your foot and consult a brand-specific size chart if available.

Can I swap out the laces?

Yes, you can easily swap out the laces to customize the look of your sneakers. They feature a standard lace-up closure. Ensure new laces are of similar length for optimal fit and aesthetic.

What is the significance of the distressed shoebox?

The distressed shoebox is a unique detail that complements the vintage and 'reimagined' theme of the sneakers. It's designed to look like it's been 'straight from ‘85' or 'unearthed from a forgotten storage room,' adding to the collectible value and storytelling of this particular release.

Troubleshooting

Cracked leather appears to be flaking more than expected.

The 'cracked' texture is a design feature. If flaking seems excessive, ensure you are not using harsh cleaning agents or exposing the shoes to extreme dryness or heat. Apply a suitable leather conditioner specifically for textured or distressed leather.

Shoes feel stiff and uncomfortable initially.

This is common with genuine leather. Wear them for short periods at first to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. The Air-Sole cushioning will also become more noticeable with wear.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replace the insole. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry.

Difficult to keep the blue leather clean.

Blue leather can show dirt more easily. Regularly wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. For stubborn marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaner or mild leather cleaner, applying gently to avoid altering the finish.

Outsole traction seems reduced.

Check the rubber outsole for embedded dirt, debris, or buildup. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and mild soap to restore its grip. Ensure the outsole is dry before wearing on slippery surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique vintage aesthetic with cracked leather and aged midsole.
  • Homage to an iconic Air Jordan 1 colorway (UNC).
  • Premium genuine leather construction for durability.
  • Comfortable with lightweight Air-Sole cushioning.
  • Reliable traction from solid rubber outsoles.
  • Collectible packaging with a distressed shoebox.

Cons

  • The 'aged' aesthetic might not appeal to all users seeking a pristine, brand-new look.
  • Specific colorway may limit versatility with certain wardrobe choices.
  • Cracked leather requires careful maintenance to preserve its unique finish.
  • The high-top design can be less convenient for quick on-and-off wear.
  • May require a break-in period due to genuine leather materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi OG RMSTD arrives ready to wear. Simply unlace the shoes to your comfort, slide your foot in, and lace them up securely. The high-top design provides ankle support; ensure laces are snug but not overly tight. You might notice the leather feels stiff initially; this is normal for genuine leather and will soften with wear.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile for casual and streetwear fashion. Their blue and sail colorway makes them a statement piece, best paired with neutral tones, denim, or complementary colors. They are designed for adult males but can be styled by anyone who appreciates their aesthetic. They are not designed for high-performance sports like basketball, but rather for lifestyle wear.

Care

Proper care will maintain the unique vintage look and longevity of your Air Jordan 1s:

  • Cleaning Leather: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
  • Cracked Leather Overlays: Handle the cracked leather delicately. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the distressed finish. Use specific leather conditioners designed for textured or aged leather to keep it supple.
  • Aged Midsole: The midsole's aged appearance is intentional. Clean gently with a soft brush and mild soap if necessary, being careful not to rub off the painted finish.
  • Outsole: Use a brush and mild soap to clean dirt and debris from the rubber outsole for optimal traction.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or cracking.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in the distressed shoebox provided, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Consider using shoe trees to help retain their form.
