FAQs

What makes the '85 OG 'Black White' special?

This release is a faithful re-creation of the original Air Jordan 1 silhouette from 1985, featuring the same shape and details as the very first version Nike produced.

Are these suitable for everyday wear?

While made with quality leather, their collectible nature and '85 shape might make some users prefer them for casual wear or display rather than rigorous daily use.

How does the sizing compare to other Air Jordans?

The '85 shape can fit slightly differently than modern Air Jordan 1s. It's recommended to check sizing guides and potentially try them on if possible, or compare with other '85 models.

What is the primary material used?

The primary material for the upper is high-quality leather, consistent with the original 1985 release.

What does 'OG' mean in the product title?

'OG' stands for 'Original Gangster,' commonly used in sneaker culture to denote an original colorway or a release that is a very close reproduction of the initial product.

Is this a limited edition release?

While not always explicitly labeled as 'limited,' models like the '85 OG re-release often have a more constrained production run compared to general releases, making them highly sought after.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather can be treated with protectant sprays, but prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended for maintaining the shoe's condition and longevity, especially for a collectible item.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Consult sizing charts and compare with other Air Jordan 1 models you own. Consider trying them on in-store if possible. Some users find the '85 shape slightly different from later retros.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with the '85 shape. For display, consider using shoe trees. For wear, accept minor creasing as part of the shoe's character.

Slight discoloration

Ensure the shoes are stored away from direct sunlight. If minor marks appear, try cleaning with a damp cloth. Persistent discoloration may be inherent to the aging process of collectible items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, these trainers require no setup beyond being laced.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially if wearing in inclement weather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the material's integrity and color. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Laces: If laces become worn, they can be easily replaced with standard shoelaces.
