FAQs

What does 'Reimagined' mean for this Air Jordan 1 model?

The 'Reimagined' designation means the shoe takes a classic design and updates it with a vintage-inspired twist. For this UNC edition, it includes features like cracked leather overlays and an aged midsole to give it a 'worn-in' or 'from the vault' appearance, blending heritage with a unique aged aesthetic.

Is the cracked leather a defect?

No, the cracked leather is an intentional design element. It's part of the 'Reimagined' concept, contributing to the shoe's unique vintage and aged look, much like a pair of sneakers that have been 'unearthed' after years.

How do I clean my Air Jordan 1 Retro High UNC Reimagined sneakers?

For routine cleaning, wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots on the leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and air dry away from direct heat.

Can I play basketball in these sneakers?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally designed for basketball, this 'Reimagined' edition, with its aged detailing and premium materials, is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. For optimal performance and to preserve their unique aesthetic, they are best suited for street style rather than athletic use.

What makes the shoe box special?

The packaging for the UNC Reimagined features a distressed design, with a unique combination of orange on the bottom and black/red on the lid. This 'mismatched' look is a nod to collector-focused releases, mimicking the appearance of items found in forgotten storage.

Are these sneakers durable?

Yes, constructed with premium leather and robust build quality, these sneakers are designed for durability and can withstand regular casual wear, offering lasting comfort and style.

Troubleshooting

Cracked leather appears to be 'peeling' or showing more wear than expected.

The cracked leather on the UNC Reimagined is an intentional design feature, part of its 'aged aesthetic.' This is not a defect but a characteristic of the shoe's unique vintage look. Gentle handling and proper leather care can help maintain its appearance.

Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Like many high-quality leather sneakers, these may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot for optimal comfort.

Discoloration or scuffs on the sail-colored midsole.

The sail midsole is designed with an aged finish, but can still pick up dirt. Use a sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush to gently clean the midsole. Avoid harsh scrubbing to preserve the intentional aged appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Their iconic design and classic UNC colorway make them compatible with a wide range of outfits, from jeans and shorts to tracksuits and casual dresses. The vintage aesthetic allows them to complement both modern and retro-inspired ensembles.

Care

To ensure the longevity of your Air Jordan 1 Retro High UNC Reimagined:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Drying: If your sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original unique box to protect them and maintain their collector's value.
  4. Protecting Leather: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the cracked leather overlays.
