What material is the shoe made of?

The shoe is primarily crafted from high-quality leather, consistent with the original design.

'OG' typically stands for 'Original Gangster' in sneaker culture, signifying a release that is true to the original colorway and design of a classic model.

How do I store these sneakers to preserve their condition?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees helps maintain their shape, and it's advisable to avoid storing them in plastic.

What is the significance of the black and white color blocking?

The black and white color blocking is one of the most iconic and recognizable colorways of the Air Jordan 1, reminiscent of the original designs that made the shoe legendary.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with wear. Storing with shoe trees can help minimize severe creasing. Avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent. For heavily soiled laces, a gentle soak may be effective. Ensure they are fully dry before re-lacing.

Minor scuffs or marks on leather

Attempt to gently wipe the area with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
