Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG - Green Glow - UK 5.5

While the original Air Jordan 1 was a basketball shoe, the Retro High OG 'Green Glow' iteration is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It offers comfort for daily wear but is not optimized for modern high-performance basketball or rigorous athletic activities.

Air Jordan 1s generally fit true to size. We recommend selecting your standard shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Info needed: [Provide a link to a sizing chart if available].

These sneakers feature high-quality leather for the upper, a durable rubber cupsole, and an Air-Sole unit within the midsole for cushioning.

The 'Green Glow' accents, typically made of synthetic leather or rubber, can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the area, then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the leather and affect the shoe's longevity. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather can provide an extra layer of protection.

Regular, light cleaning after each wear (wiping off dust/dirt) is recommended. A more thorough clean, including deep cleaning the leather and soles, should be done as needed, typically every few weeks depending on usage and how dirty they get.

This is common with leather sneakers. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing and avoid excessive bending of the foot. Regular conditioning can also help maintain leather flexibility.

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap or a dedicated sneaker cleaner. For tougher marks, a soft-bristled brush can be used carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Squeaking often comes from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check the outsole for any loose parts.

Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. For minor fading, specialized leather dyes or restorers can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Regular cleaning and conditioning can help preserve the material's integrity.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks and rotating between multiple pairs of shoes.
