Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather wear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Nubuck becoming dirty or matted

Gently use a nubuck eraser or a soft-bristled brush to restore the texture. Avoid using water, which can permanently alter the finish.

Color transfer

Be mindful of wearing dark, wet denim, as color transfer can occur onto the lighter parts of the shoe. This is more common in humid conditions.

Sizing feels tight

The Air Jordan 1 generally offers a snug fit. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. If consistently uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Brotherhood' pairs well with a wide range of casual apparel, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and t-shirts. Its bold color blocking makes it a focal point, so consider complementing rather than clashing colors in your outfit.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  2. Cleaning Nubuck: Nubuck is more delicate. Use a special nubuck eraser or a dry brush to remove dirt. Avoid water, as it can stain the material.
  3. Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a mild soap and water solution and an old toothbrush.
  4. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately if needed.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Use shoe trees to maintain their shape.
