FAQs

What makes the '85 OG re-release special?

The '85 OG re-release is significant because it uses the exact silhouette and design specifications from the original 1985 Air Jordan 1, offering the most authentic retro experience.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

While it's a basketball shoe by origin, this retro version is primarily intended for casual wear and collection. Modern basketball shoes offer advanced performance technology for athletic activities.

How does the leather quality compare?

The product description highlights high-quality leather, consistent with the premium materials expected for an iconic retro release.

When was this specific colorway first released?

The original Air Jordan 1 'Black White' was released in 1985. This 2023 re-release is the first since 2014.

What does 'OG' stand for in the product name?

'OG' typically stands for 'Original Gangster' in sneaker culture, referring to the original colorway and design of a shoe.

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, Air Jordan 1s are considered true to size for most wearers. However, individual fit can vary. Trying them on if possible is recommended.

How should I care for the leather to keep it looking new?

Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and occasional use of a leather conditioner will help maintain the quality and appearance of the leather.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Stuffing shoes when not in use can help maintain shape.

Discoloration of white leather

Clean regularly with a damp cloth. For yellowing, a specialized sneaker cleaner or mild solution of baking soda and water may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Tongue logo wear

Be gentle when cleaning the tongue area. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the Nike Air logo to prevent damage.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid excessive water.
  2. Laces: Clean laces separately by hand or place them in a mesh bag and wash on a delicate cycle.
