FAQs

What does 'Lost and Found' refer to in the shoe's name?

The 'Lost and Found' theme refers to the idea that these sneakers have been discovered after being stored away for a long time, hence the deliberate distressed and aged appearance.

Are the distressed marks on the leather a defect?

No, the cracked leather uppers and pre-yellowed accents are intentional design elements meant to give the shoe a vintage, worn-in look, mimicking a pair that has been stored for decades.

How should I clean the cracked leather parts?

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, as this could alter the intended distressed appearance. A specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly if needed.

Is this the original 1985 Air Jordan 1 Chicago colorway?

This release is a new take on the original 1985 Chicago colorway, incorporating a vintage aesthetic with deliberate distressing. It's not an exact replica of a brand-new 1985 pair but rather a representation of an aged one.

What is the typical fit of an Air Jordan 1?

Air Jordan 1s generally run true to size for most people. However, they can feel slightly narrow. If you have wider feet, you might consider trying them on or going up half a size.

Can these sneakers be used for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this 'Lost and Found' retro is primarily considered a lifestyle and collectible item. For serious basketball play, newer performance-oriented shoes are recommended.

What material are the uppers made of?

The uppers are primarily made of high-quality leather, featuring a deliberately cracked finish to achieve the vintage look.

Troubleshooting

Uneven cracking or discoloration on the leather.

This is an intentional design feature meant to mimic aged leather. It is not a defect. Embrace the unique, vintage aesthetic.

Slight odor from new materials.

Air out the shoes in a well-ventilated area for a day or two. The odor should dissipate naturally.

Creasing on the toe box.

Creasing is a natural result of wear on leather shoes. It is part of the shoe's character and does not affect functionality. To minimize excessive creasing, consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Yellowing of the midsole or outsole.

The pre-yellowed effect on the midsole and outsole is a deliberate design choice to enhance the vintage 'lost and found' look. This is not oxidation or aging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These sneakers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Available in adult UK men's sizes. It is recommended to consult a size chart for accurate fitting, as individuals may prefer different snugness.
  • Outfit Pairing: Highly versatile for casual wear, pairing well with jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care:

  • Cleaning Uppers: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For more stubborn marks on the leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  • Suede/Cracked Leather: Avoid excessive moisture. Brush gently with a soft brush to maintain texture. The cracked effect is intentional and should not be treated as damage.
  • Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth or a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
