FAQs

What makes this Air Jordan 1 'Shattered Backboard' special?

This iteration is a like-for-like reconstruction of the original 1985 release, celebrating Michael Jordan's iconic backboard-shattering dunk in Italy. It features premium materials and specific color blocking that pays homage to that historical event.

Is the pre-creased leather intentional?

Yes, the soft, pre-creased orange and white leather build is an intentional design choice, crafted to give an uneven, 'shattered glass' effect, enhancing the shoe's unique aesthetic.

How should I clean the premium tumbled leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather sneaker cleaner, applying it gently and following the product's instructions. Always condition the leather afterward.

Does this shoe offer good cushioning?

Yes, it features an encapsulated Air midsole, which provides plush cushioning for comfort, making it suitable for all-day wear.

Can these be worn for basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this retro release is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Its construction and materials are best suited for everyday use rather than high-performance sports.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium tumbled leather, offering a luxurious feel and durable finish, with specific pre-creased sections.

Are these true to size?

Jordan 1s typically fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit preference can vary, so it's always recommended to try them on if possible or refer to size guides.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for sneaker materials. Gently buff with a soft cloth after application.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Sometimes caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder under them.

Unwanted creases forming on the toe box or sides.

While some creasing is intentional (pre-creased leather), use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shoe's original shape. Avoid prolonged tight lacing.

Outsole grip feels diminished.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after prolonged wear.

Ensure you have the correct size. New leather shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear thick socks initially or use a shoe stretcher for a few hours.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Historical Significance: A direct tribute to a memorable moment in basketball history.
  • Premium Materials: High-quality tumbled leather offers a luxurious look and feel.
  • Exceptional Comfort: Encapsulated Air unit provides excellent cushioning for daily wear.
  • Durable Construction: Built to last with robust leather and a solid rubber outsole.
  • Distinctive Aesthetic: The 'Shattered Backboard' colorway and pre-creased leather offer a unique visual appeal.

Cons

  • Leather Maintenance: Premium leather requires careful cleaning and conditioning to maintain its quality and appearance.
  • Initial Stiffness: New leather may feel slightly stiff initially, requiring a break-in period.
  • Color Fading Potential: Bright 'Starfish' orange areas might show wear or slight fading over extended periods without proper care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Jordan Air 1 High OG arrives ready to wear. Simply unlace to your preferred tightness, insert your foot, and lace them up. Experiment with different lacing styles for personalized comfort and aesthetics.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed for adult wearers. Their versatile black, 'Sail', and 'Starfish' orange colorway makes them compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear outfits. The classic high-top silhouette pairs well with jeans, joggers, shorts, and even some smart-casual ensembles.

Care

  • Cleaning Leather: For premium tumbled leather, gently wipe down the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product instructions carefully.
  • Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against spills and elements.
  • Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
  • Avoiding Damage: Be mindful of rough surfaces to prevent scuffs and scratches on the leather. The pre-creased finish is intentional, but excessive bending can lead to unwanted creases.
