FAQs

What inspired this particular Air Jordan 1 design?

This Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG design is inspired by the jersey Michael Jordan wore when he 'shattered the backboard' during a slam dunk in an exhibition game in Italy.

Is the Air-Sole unit visible?

The Air-Sole unit in the heel provides internal cushioning and is embedded within the sole construction. It is not typically visible from the outside of the shoe.

Can I use these shoes for playing basketball?

While originating as a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is now primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style for everyday use. It is not intended for use as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or for high-performance basketball play.

How should I clean the leather upper?

For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or specific stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Always test on a small, hidden area first and allow to air dry.

What does 'OG' stand for in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

'OG' stands for 'Original,' signifying that this particular model closely adheres to the design, color blocking, and branding of the very first Air Jordan 1 released in 1985.

What is the 'Wings logo'?

The 'Wings logo' is the iconic emblem created for the initial Air Jordan line. It typically depicts a basketball with wings on either side and is prominently featured on the ankle collar of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG, representing flight and Michael Jordan's aerial prowess.

Are these shoes true to size?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG generally has a regular fit. However, individual foot shapes vary. For the best fit, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a detailed size guide if purchasing online.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Creasing is a natural occurrence with leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing your sneakers. Regularly apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent deep, permanent creases. Avoid excessive bending of the toe box.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can often be caused by moisture or friction between the insole and the main sole unit. Try removing the insoles, cleaning both the underside of the insole and the inside of the shoe, and allowing them to dry thoroughly before reinserting. A small amount of talcum powder sprinkled under the insole can also help reduce friction.

Dirt or scuffs on the leather

For light dirt, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first. For scuffs, a leather conditioner or specific leather repair cream might help.

Uncomfortable or tight fit

Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoe is slightly tight, wearing it for short periods with thin socks during the break-in phase can help the leather conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider checking your foot measurements against a detailed Jordan size guide.

Laces constantly untying

Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot. A double knot or a 'surgeon's knot' (where the first loop is passed through twice before tightening) can significantly improve lace security.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic and Timeless Style: A true classic that remains a fashion staple, inspired by Michael Jordan's legacy.
  • Premium Materials: Features high-quality tumbled leather for a luxurious look and feel.
  • Comfortable Cushioning: Incorporates an Air-Sole unit in the heel for lightweight and supportive comfort during wear.
  • Authentic Details: Meticulously recreates classic design elements like the Wings logo, perforated toe, and original color blocking.
  • Versatile for Casual Wear: Ideal for everyday fashion and adding a retro touch to any outfit.

Cons

  • Not PPE: Explicitly not intended for use as Personal Protective Equipment.
  • Less Performance-Oriented: While inspired by basketball, its 'Retro' status means it's primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, not modern high-performance sports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is straightforward:

  1. Lace Up: Use the lace closure system to secure the shoes firmly but comfortably on your feet. Adjust the laces to your preferred tightness.
  2. Break-In Period: Like most leather shoes, a short break-in period might be beneficial to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Designed for adults.
  • Gender: Marketed for males, though the style is widely adopted across all genders.
  • Sizing: This specific model is UK size 7, designed for adult feet. Ensure you select the correct size for a comfortable fit.
  • Intended Use: Primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. Not intended for use as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Care

Maintaining the appearance and longevity of your Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG requires proper care, especially for its premium leather upper.

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or specific stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially in adverse weather conditions.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the leather and other components.
