FAQs

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

'OG' stands for 'Original.' In the context of Air Jordan 1s, it signifies a release that closely replicates the design, materials, and silhouette of the original 1985 model.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, the Retro OG models are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. They lack the advanced cushioning and support of modern performance basketball shoes.

How do I clean the University Blue suede/nubuck sections?

For suede or nubuck-like textures, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and follow with brushing.

What is the typical break-in period for these shoes?

The break-in period can vary but typically ranges from a few wears to a couple of weeks. Consistent, moderate wear will help the leather soften and conform to your foot.

How do I check if my pair is authentic?

Authenticity can be verified by checking the quality of materials, stitching consistency, logo placement, the shape of the shoe, and comparing details to known authentic pairs. Purchasing from authorized retailers is the best way to ensure authenticity.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. The leather can be damaged, and the colors may bleed or stain. Use protective sprays and avoid excessive moisture.

What is the retail price of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG UNC Toe?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG UNC Toe debuted with a retail price of $180 USD.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear during wear. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Discoloration of white panels

Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid contact with dark or wet materials that could transfer color.

Poor fit or discomfort

Ensure you have the correct size. The Air Jordan 1 High OG often requires a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot.

Soles becoming slippery

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any debris that may be affecting grip. If wear is significant, consider professional sole restoration if available.
