FAQs

What is the '85 OG designation?

The '85 OG refers to a re-release that is a faithful reproduction of the original 1985 Air Jordan 1 model, including its shape, materials, and color blocking.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the sizing guide. If possible, try on a pair of Air Jordan 1s of a similar model to gauge fit.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While they are based on a basketball shoe, this retro release is intended for casual wear and collection. Modern basketball requires shoes with updated performance technology.

How durable is the leather?

The premium leather is designed for good durability for casual use. However, like all leather products, it can be susceptible to scuffs and creases with heavy wear.

Does this shoe come with special packaging?

Yes, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High '85 OG releases typically come with special packaging designed to evoke the original 1985 release.

How should I store these sneakers?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's original shape, and keeping them in their original box protects them from dust.

Can I clean the white leather with bleach?

No, bleach is too harsh for leather and can cause damage and discoloration. Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid overly bending the shoe when walking and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Laces not staying tied

Ensure laces are tied tightly. Consider double-knotting or replacing the laces with a different material that offers more grip.

Discoloration of white leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or highly polluted environments. Clean white leather promptly with a suitable leather cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing.

Compatibility: Designed for casual wear. While they share the silhouette of a basketball shoe, they are not intended for modern athletic performance on the court.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains on the leather, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Lining: If the interior becomes soiled, use a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the shoe is completely dry before storing.
  3. Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth or a specialized sole cleaner.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain the shape. Keep them in their original box or a protective shoe bag to prevent dust and damage.
