FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the 'Brotherhood' colorway?

The 'Brotherhood' colorway is inspired by Michael Jordan's membership in the Omega Psi Phi fraternity at the University of North Carolina, with the University Gold and Light Bordeaux colors reflecting the fraternity's official colors.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While they are based on the original basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Brotherhood' is primarily considered a lifestyle and collector's sneaker. For intense athletic activities, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Brotherhood'?

These trainers feature a premium leather construction for the upper, with a rubber outsole and textile lining.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, always testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What sizes are available for this model?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Brotherhood' is typically released in adult male sizing. Specific available sizes can vary.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these premium leather trainers in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the leather and affect the shoe's appearance and longevity.

What does 'Retro High OG' mean?

'Retro' indicates that the shoe is a reissue or modernized version of an original design. 'High' refers to the cut of the sneaker, and 'OG' (Original) signifies that the shoe is based on the original specifications and colorways from its initial release.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use. For significant creasing, specialized leather humidifiers or professional restoration may help.

Discoloration of materials

Store the trainers away from direct sunlight and heat. Clean with appropriate leather cleaners and conditioners to maintain the original color. Avoid exposing the shoes to harsh chemicals.

Stains on fabric/suede elements

Address stains immediately with a specialized sneaker cleaner appropriate for the material. For suede, use a suede brush and eraser. Test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first.

Uneven fit

Ensure laces are tied uniformly without excessive tightness. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the correct fit for your foot shape. Consider insoles for minor adjustments.
