FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While the original Air Jordan 1 was a pioneering basketball shoe, this Retro High OG model is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. Its construction provides comfort and support for casual use, but it is not optimized for high-performance athletic activities like modern basketball shoes.

How do I determine my size?

Air Jordan 1s generally fit true to size. If you are unsure, it is recommended to try them on or consult a size chart. Info needed: Consider your usual UK shoe size for adults.

What is 'AirSole' cushioning?

AirSole refers to Nike's original air-cushioning technology. It involves encapsulated air units within the sole of the shoe, providing lightweight impact absorption and comfort. This technology has been a hallmark of Jordan Brand footwear for decades.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the genuine leather offers some resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to prevent damage to the leather. If they do get wet, follow the care instructions for drying them naturally.

What does 'OG' mean in the product title?

'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that the design elements, color blocking, and materials closely replicate the original release of the Air Jordan 1 from 1985, often with a premium or 'Reimagined' twist.

Is the leather durable?

Yes, genuine leather is known for its durability and ability to last many years with proper care. Its quality contributes to the shoe's overall structure and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing appears quickly.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of genuine leather with wear. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes. Regularly clean and condition the leather to keep it supple and reduce the appearance of harsh lines.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can often be caused by moisture or friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture. Ensure the insole is properly seated and not rubbing against the inside of the shoe. A clean outsole can also prevent some types of squeaks.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Genuine leather shoes typically require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to the shape of your foot. Using thicker socks during this period can also help.

Outsole loses traction.

Check the outsole for dirt, debris, or embedded small stones, especially within the grooves. Clean the sole thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. If the sole is worn smooth, the traction will naturally decrease over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Simply unlace the shoes, slip your feet in, and then lace them up to your desired tightness. Experiment with different lacing styles for a personalized look.
  2. Initial Wear: It is common for genuine leather shoes to feel a bit stiff during the first few wears. Allow for a short break-in period for the leather to soften and conform to your feet.

Compatibility:

These Air Jordan 1s are highly versatile and complement a wide range of casual and streetwear outfits. They pair well with:

  • Jeans (skinny, straight, or relaxed fit)
  • Joggers and track pants
  • Shorts
  • Casual skirts or dresses for a sporty-chic look
  • Hoodies, t-shirts, and light jackets

Care:

To maintain the quality and appearance of your genuine leather Air Jordan 1s:

  1. Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust and dirt.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For light marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized leather cleaner. Apply gently and wipe off any excess immediately.
  3. Deep Cleaning: Periodically, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner designed for sneakers. This helps to clean, moisturize, and protect the leather, preventing it from drying out and cracking.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and light.
