Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi Og Sneaker - Black - UK 10.5

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this Retro High OG model is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Its construction is durable, but modern basketball shoes offer more advanced cushioning and support for performance play.

To minimize creasing, always store your sneakers with shoe trees to maintain their shape. You can also try wearing them carefully and avoiding extreme bending of the foot. Regular conditioning of the leather can also help keep it supple.

Generally, Air Jordan 1s are considered to run true to size for most individuals. However, foot shapes vary, so if you are unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a size guide specific to Jordan brand footwear.

The 'Shattered Backboard' theme commemorates an iconic exhibition game in 1985 where Michael Jordan famously shattered a glass backboard during a dunk. The colorway is inspired by the jersey he wore during that game, which featured black, orange, and white.

The premium tumbled leather upper offers some resistance, but it's not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to provide extra protection if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions. Avoid heavy rain to preserve the material.

For optimal maintenance, it's best to perform a quick wipe-down after each wear to remove surface dust. A more thorough spot clean should be done as needed, especially after any noticeable dirt or spills. Regular cleaning prevents dirt from setting in.

Use shoe trees or cardboard inserts when storing to help maintain the shoe's shape. Avoid wearing sneakers that are too large, as this can exacerbate creasing. Walk with a 'roll' rather than a hard bend at the toe.

Gently clean the area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner or repair cream in a matching color can help minimize visibility. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder underneath. Reinsert the insole. If the squeak persists, check if it's the sole itself, which might indicate wear.

Ensure you have the correct size. Air Jordan 1s generally run true to size for most. Over time, the leather may soften and conform to your foot. For minor tightness, you can try wearing them with thick socks for short periods or using a shoe stretcher designed for leather.

Regular maintenance is key. Wipe down after each wear. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather before first use. Address spills or dirt immediately with a gentle cleaning solution and soft cloth.
