FAQs
What makes this Air Jordan 1 model unique?
The "Black Metallic Gold" colorway features a premium black and metallic gold patent leather upper, a striking combination that stands out from standard leather releases. It also includes specific gold speckles on the translucent sole.
How do I clean the patent leather on these sneakers?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For a polished look, a dedicated patent leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
Are these good for athletic performance?
These are lifestyle sneakers designed for style and comfort during everyday wear. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities or basketball performance.
What is the significance of the "Retro High OG" designation?
This means the shoe is a re-release ('Retro') of the original high-top version ('High OG'), maintaining the design and proportions as close to the 1985 release as possible, including original branding like the 'Nike Air' tongue tag.
How should I store these sneakers to maintain their condition?
Store them in their original box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuffing them with tissue paper helps preserve their shape and prevent creasing.
Can the metallic gold accents be damaged easily?
The metallic finishes can be susceptible to scuffs. While minor marks can often be buffed, significant damage may be permanent. Careful wear and storage are recommended.
What size variations are available?
This specific guide entry is for UK size 6. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Black Metallic Gold" has been released in a range of adult sizes. Please check availability for specific sizes.
Troubleshooting
Patent leather appears dull
Gently wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. For added shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or polish, applying sparingly with a soft cloth.
Creases on the patent leather
While creases are natural with wear, try to avoid excessive bending. Stuffing the shoes when not in use can help mitigate creasing. Minor creases may lessen over time with wear.
Scuffs or scratches on metallic gold accents
Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a very soft, dry cloth. Deeper scratches may be more permanent due to the nature of metallic finishes.
Sole appears dirty
Clean the rubber sole with a soft brush or cloth, warm water, and a small amount of mild detergent. Ensure the shoe is dry before storing.
