FAQs

What material is the "Black Metallic Gold" Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from black patent leather with metallic gold lacquer accents on the Swooshes and ankle collar. The tongue is made of nylon.

How does the sizing run for these sneakers?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, slight variations can occur. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult size charts and reviews for guidance.

Can I wear these for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this particular retro version with a patent leather finish is best suited for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. The patent leather may not offer the same performance characteristics as modern basketball shoes.

How should I clean the patent leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Always air dry and avoid harsh chemicals.

Are there different colorways or versions of the Air Jordan 1 "Black Metallic Gold"?

Yes, Jordan Brand has released iterations of the "Black Metallic Gold" Air Jordan 1 in the past, with the 2020 retro offering slight cosmetic changes. Other Air Jordan 1 models come in various color schemes.

What is the significance of the "Nike Air" tongue tag?

The "Nike Air" tongue tag is a callback to the original Air Jordan 1 releases from the 1980s, signifying a commitment to authentic retro detailing.

Troubleshooting

Patent leather appears dull or has minor scuffs.

Clean the surface with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of patent leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for glossy finishes and buff gently with a soft cloth.

Creasing on the toe box.

This is natural with patent leather over time. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. Shoe trees can help maintain shape.

Discoloration from prolonged sun exposure.

Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight for extended periods. If discoloration occurs, it may be difficult to reverse.
