FAQs

What makes the 'Chicago Lost and Found' colorway unique?

This colorway is unique because it intentionally replicates an aged, 'lost and found' appearance on the iconic 1985 Chicago Air Jordan 1. It features cracked leather and pre-yellowed accents to give it a vintage feel.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, the 'Lost and Found' version is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. The distressed materials may not withstand the rigors of athletic performance as well as modern performance footwear.

How should I clean the cracked leather?

Use a soft brush for general dusting. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water, as this can alter the intended distressed look.

Will the cracked leather continue to deteriorate?

The cracking is a manufactured aesthetic. Proper care, including conditioning, will help maintain the shoe's integrity, but the appearance is designed to look aged.

Are there other colorways available in the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG series?

Yes, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG series features numerous colorways, including other iconic originals and new interpretations. The 'Lost and Found' is a specific vintage-inspired release.

What does 'OG' stand for in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

'OG' typically stands for 'Original'. In this context, it signifies that the shoe is a retro release that closely resembles the original model released in 1985, including its silhouette and color blocking.

What is the sizing like for these trainers?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, it's always recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible, especially considering personal fit preferences.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears to be cracking excessively.

This is an intended design feature to mimic an aged look. If cracking is more severe than desired, ensure proper conditioning and avoid extreme conditions.

Yellowing on accents seems too pronounced.

The pre-yellowed accents are part of the 'lost and found' aesthetic. This is intentional and cannot be reversed.

Laces feel stiff or discolored.

The laces are also designed to contribute to the vintage look. They can be replaced with new laces if preferred, or gently cleaned with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, these shoes require no setup. Simply lace them up and wear.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males. While styled after a basketball shoe, they are best suited for casual wear and lifestyle activities rather than rigorous athletic performance. They pair well with a wide range of casual attire.

Care: To maintain the intended vintage aesthetic and preserve the materials:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt and dust regularly. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid excessive moisture, as it can affect the aged leather.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically condition the leather with a quality leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking, while being mindful not to over-condition areas meant to look distressed.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, in their original box or a shoe bag to protect the finish and prevent further unwanted aging.
