FAQs

What does 'OG' mean in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

'OG' stands for 'Original Release' or 'Original Specification'. It indicates that the shoe is designed to be as close as possible to the original 1985 release, including details like the branding and silhouette.

What is the 'UNC Toe' colorway inspired by?

The 'UNC Toe' colorway is inspired by the University of North Carolina (UNC), Michael Jordan's college alma mater. It uses the university's signature blue along with classic black and white, colors often associated with his early career.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While they are based on a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'UNC Toe' are primarily considered lifestyle sneakers. They offer some support but lack the advanced cushioning and performance technology of modern basketball shoes.

How do I clean the blue parts of the shoe?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the blue leather. For deeper cleaning, a specialized leather cleaner designed for the specific type of leather can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

What sizes are available?

These trainers are available in various adult sizes. Please check the specific product listing for the full range of available UK sizes. Similar models are also available in kids' sizing.

What is the main material used for the upper?

The upper of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'UNC Toe' is made from premium leather.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Color transfer

Newer leather can sometimes transfer color onto lighter socks or surfaces. Wear with dark socks initially and be mindful of contact with light-colored materials.

Stiffness initially

The premium leather may feel stiff at first. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in gradually.

Soles becoming dirty

Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to gently clean the rubber soles. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult footwear, these trainers are compatible with standard adult sizing. They are versatile and can be paired with a wide range of casual attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Suede/Nubuck Areas: If applicable to specific parts of the shoe, use a suede brush to restore texture and remove surface dirt.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Use shoe trees to help retain form.
