FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball or sports?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this 'Retro Hi OG RMSTD' model is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. We do not recommend using them for high-performance sports to preserve their condition and iconic design.

How do I maintain the cracked leather look?

The cracked leather is an intentional part of the vintage design. To maintain its character, avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners. Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use leather-specific conditioners or protectors sparingly, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the 'aged midsole' feature?

The aged midsole is a design choice where the midsole is manufactured with a slightly yellowed or discolored appearance from the start. This gives the shoe an authentic 'vintage' feel, as if it were preserved from the 1980s. It is not a defect but part of the remastered aesthetic.

How does the Air-Sole cushioning work?

Air-Sole units are pockets of pressurized air embedded in the shoe's midsole. They compress upon impact and then spring back, providing lightweight cushioning and impact absorption for enhanced comfort during walking and daily activities.

What is the best way to store these sneakers?

Store your Air Jordan 1s in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape, especially with genuine leather uppers. Keeping them in their original distressed shoebox can also help protect them.

Are Air Jordan 1s true to size?

Generally, Air Jordan 1s are considered true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly based on foot shape. If you have wider feet, you might consider going up half a size. We recommend trying them on if possible or consulting a sizing guide.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or marks appear on the cracked leather overlays.

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner. Remember that some additional 'aging' or character is part of the shoe's design.

Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Genuine leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. The Air-Sole cushioning will also adapt over time.

Shoes develop an odor after wear.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry separately. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Sole traction seems to decrease over time.

Regularly clean the rubber outsole to remove embedded dirt and debris, which can reduce grip. Use a brush and mild soap. If the sole is worn smooth, it might indicate significant wear, common with extensive use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi OG RMSTD involves understanding its fit, how to integrate it into your wardrobe, and essential maintenance practices.

Initial Setup (Lacing)

Upon receiving your Air Jordan 1s, you'll find them laced in a standard fashion. You can customize the lacing to your preference:

  1. Traditional Lace: For a classic look, ensure laces are evenly tightened across the eyelets and tied securely.
  2. Loose Lace: For a more relaxed, streetwear aesthetic, you might keep the laces looser, particularly at the top eyelets. Some prefer to leave the top two eyelets unlaced.
  3. Bar Lacing: An alternative, clean look where laces run straight across, often achieved by hiding the diagonal segments underneath.

Compatibility (Styling)

These sneakers are highly versatile for casual and streetwear outfits:

  • Jeans: Pair them with slim-fit, straight-leg, or baggy jeans in various washes (light to dark) to highlight the sneaker.
  • Chinos/Cargo Pants: Complement the sneaker's relaxed yet structured feel with chinos or cargo pants.
  • Shorts: Ideal for spring and summer, matching with basketball shorts or denim shorts.
  • Socks: Choose crew socks or ankle socks that either match the blue/white scheme or offer a contrasting color.
  • Outerwear: Easily styled with hoodies, bomber jackets, denim jackets, or casual blazers.

Care and Maintenance

To preserve the quality and unique vintage aesthetic of your genuine leather Air Jordan 1s:

  • Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust after each wear.
  • Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Apply sparingly with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cracked Leather: The cracked leather is an intentional design feature. Handle with care to prevent excessive flaking. Avoid aggressive scrubbing on these areas.
  • Midsole Care: Clean the aged midsole with a soft brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt without damaging the finish.
  • Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can dry out and damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray designed for sneakers to create a barrier against water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Avoid Washing Machines: Never put leather sneakers in a washing machine or tumble dryer.
