FAQs

How do I start customizing the 'Self-Expression' Jordan 1s?

Begin by identifying areas you want to alter. You can scuff or sand panels to reveal the white underlayer for a distressed look, or use leather paints and markers to add your own designs. Always test your chosen method on a small, hidden area first.

Are these shoes durable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Air Jordan 1 High OG is built with quality materials intended for lifestyle wear. However, aggressive activities or harsh conditions may accelerate wear, especially on customized areas.

What does the 'Self-Expression' name refer to?

The name refers to the shoe's design, which includes a layered construction and a white underlayer that encourages wearers to customize the sneakers and express their individual style.

Can I wash the shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and any customization applied to the shoes.

What is the typical sizing for Air Jordan 1 High OG models?

Air Jordan 1 High OG models generally run true to size for most individuals. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts based on your usual sneaker size.

Where can I find inspiration for customizing my shoes?

Inspiration can be found on social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest, sneaker forums, and by looking at other custom sneaker artists' work. The official Nike or Jordan brand websites may also offer design ideas.

  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
