FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
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.
How do I determine the correct size?
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].
What materials are the 'Green Glow' Air Jordan 1s made of?
These sneakers feature high-quality leather for the upper, a durable rubber cupsole, and an Air-Sole unit within the midsole for cushioning.
How should I clean the 'Green Glow' parts?
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.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
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.
How often should I clean my Air Jordan 1s?
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.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box or upper leather.
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.
Scuff marks or dirt buildup on the white leather areas.
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 sound when walking.
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.
Color fading on the 'Green Glow' or black sections.
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.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe.
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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied securely but comfortably. You may adjust the lacing tightness to achieve your preferred fit.

Athleisure: Complement activewear like sweatpants, hoodies, and athletic shorts for a comfortable yet stylish look.
Color Coordination: The "Green Glow" accents allow for creative color matching with tops, jackets, or accessories that feature similar green tones, or provide a striking contrast with neutral colors like black, white, and grey.
Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for all seasons; pair with shorts in summer or layering with thicker socks and outerwear in cooler months.
Care and Maintenance
Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather uppers with a soft, dry brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and dust.
Spot Cleaning: For light marks or dirt, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently rub the affected area, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and let air dry.
Leather Conditioner: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
Stain Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather sneakers to repel water and stains.
Outsole Cleaning: Use a brush or old toothbrush with soap and water to clean the rubber outsole.
Drying: Always air dry sneakers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can damage leather.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
