FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?
While rooted in basketball history, this model is a 'Retro' release intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-performance sports.
How should I clean the white portions of the shoe?
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush, focusing on the light-colored sections with gentle circular motions.
Does the size 12 fit true to size?
Yes, this model generally follows standard athletic sizing, though individual comfort may vary based on sock thickness.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Excessive moisture can damage the leather finish and may cause staining.
What is the inspiration behind this colorway?
The design is a 'Reverse' take on the famous Shattered Backboard series, which honors Michael Jordan's 1985 exhibition game dunk that broke a plexiglass backboard.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box during wear
Use internal shoe trees when storing the shoes to help retain the original shape and minimize permanent creases.
Surface dirt accumulation
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 1 Retros maintain their condition, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and surface dirt after wear. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or color fading. When not in use, keep the original packaging or shoe trees inside the footwear to help maintain the high-top shape and prevent unwanted creasing in the toe box. These trainers are a standard adult UK size 12 fit and are designed to be compatible with most casual denim or athletic apparel.
