FAQs

What makes the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG SP unique?

It uniquely blends the 'Chicago' and 'Shadow' colorways of the Air Jordan 1, featuring a vintage pre-yellowed midsole and a deconstructed collar with zigzag stitching.

Is this shoe suitable for basketball performance?

No, this is a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual wear and collection, not athletic performance.

Clean gently with a damp cloth. The yellowing is intentional for a vintage aesthetic and should be maintained carefully, avoiding harsh cleaners.

'OG' refers to the original silhouette, while 'SP' often denotes a special project or collaboration.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly bending the shoe when walking.

Zigzag stitching unraveling

If minor fraying occurs, carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. For significant issues, consult a professional sneaker restoration service.

Discoloration of midsole

The vintage-look midsole may naturally yellow over time. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme temperatures or prolonged direct sunlight.

Laces showing wear

Replace worn laces with standard flat sneaker laces. Consider replacing with laces that match the shoe's color scheme for a refreshed look.
