FAQs

What does 'OG' mean in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

'OG' stands for 'Original'. In sneaker culture, it typically refers to the original colorways or specifications of a classic model, often indicating a high level of authenticity and faithfulness to the initial release.

What is the inspiration behind the 'Brotherhood' colorway?

The 'Brotherhood' colorway is inspired by Omega Psi Phi, a fraternity that Michael Jordan joined during his time as a student at the University of North Carolina. The colors reflect the fraternity's palette.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, the Retro High OG 'Brotherhood' is primarily considered a lifestyle sneaker. It is not recommended for modern, high-intensity basketball play due to updated performance technology in contemporary athletic footwear.

How can I ensure I'm buying authentic Air Jordan 1 trainers?

Purchase from reputable retailers or trusted resale platforms. Examine product details, packaging, and craftsmanship. Look for consistent branding, correct stitching, and original box.

What is the typical release date pattern for Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG models?

Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG models are often released on specific dates throughout the year, frequently coinciding with holidays or significant anniversaries. The 'Brotherhood' was released on February 25, 2022.

How do I break in new leather trainers?

Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walk around indoors to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Avoid activities that put excessive stress on the shoes during the break-in period.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid excessive bending of the foot.

Scuffs or marks on nubuck

Use a dedicated nubuck eraser or a soft nubuck brush to gently lift marks. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized nubuck cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Color transfer from darker areas

This is rare but can occur in very humid conditions or with excessive moisture. Ensure the shoes are completely dry and store them properly. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks if moisture is present.
