FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by the original basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is primarily considered a lifestyle trainer. For serious basketball performance, specialized athletic shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the metallic gold parts?

Gently wipe the metallic gold accents with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to preserve the finish.

What is the best way to store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or the original box helps maintain their shape and protect them.

Is the leather water-resistant?

The leather is not inherently waterproof. Applying a leather protectant spray can offer some resistance to light moisture and stains.

How does the sizing compare to other trainers?

The Air Jordan 1 generally runs true to size for most people. However, slight variations can occur. It is recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible.

What does 'Retro High OG' signify?

'Retro' indicates a re-release of a classic model. 'High' refers to the cut of the shoe, and 'OG' (Original) signifies that this version closely adheres to the specifications of the original 1985 release.

Can I wear these with formal attire?

These trainers are best suited for casual and streetwear outfits. While some modern styles incorporate trainers with less formal attire, they are generally not considered appropriate for formal wear.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid overly tight lacing.

Metallic gold accents losing shine

Gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the finish.

Sizing feels slightly off

Ensure laces are properly adjusted. If discomfort persists after a few wears, consider using insoles or seeking a different size, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try inserting a talc-free powder under the insole or checking if the tongue is rubbing against the laces.
