FAQs

What makes the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 special?

It uniquely combines the iconic "Chicago" and "Shadow" colorways, features a vintage pre-yellowed midsole, and includes distinctive zigzag stitching details for a special, collaborative aesthetic.

What material are these shoes made of?

The Jordan 1 Retro High OG SP Union LA Chicago Shadow is primarily constructed from high-quality leather.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

These are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear and collecting. While they offer comfort and traction for daily activities, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic performance.

How should I clean the pre-yellowed midsole?

Gently clean the pre-yellowed midsole with a damp cloth or a magic eraser. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

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

'OG' typically refers to the original, classic design or colorway. 'SP' often denotes a special project or collaboration, indicating this is a premium, limited-edition release.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, it is not recommended to wear these extensively in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can affect the materials and longevity of the shoe.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts for Air Jordan 1 models. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consult reviews regarding fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid overly tight lacing and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Scuffs or marks on midsole

Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean minor scuffs off the pre-yellowed midsole. Be cautious not to damage the leather upper.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.

Stiffness in new shoes

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help ease stiffness.
