FAQs

What makes the 'UNC Toe' colorway special?

The 'UNC Toe' colorway is special because it features a color blocking inspired by Michael Jordan's time at the University of North Carolina (UNC), combining University Blue, Black, and White. This specific combination pays homage to his roots.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good support and traction for everyday activities, they are not intended for rigorous athletic performance.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It is recommended to refer to the brand's sizing chart or try them on if possible. Given they are high-tops, ensure there is enough room in the toe box while maintaining a secure fit around the ankle.

What does 'OG' mean in the product name?

'OG' stands for Original or Original Gangster, indicating that the sneaker stays true to the original 1985 design and specifications, including key branding elements like the Air Jordan Wings logo.

Can the leather be waterproofed?

While not officially recommended by the brand, specialized leather waterproofing sprays can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and follow the product instructions carefully to avoid damaging the material.

How do I maintain the white leather panels?

White leather panels can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner designed for white leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and moderate use, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG trainers can last for several years. The lifespan depends heavily on how frequently they are worn, the conditions they are exposed to, and the maintenance they receive.

Troubleshooting

Creasing of the leather

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.

Discoloration from water or dirt

Avoid wearing in heavy rain or dirty conditions. Clean immediately with a damp cloth. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur from the tongue rubbing against the laces or inner lining. Try adjusting the laces or applying a small amount of talcum powder to the tongue's underside.

Reduced grip on sole

Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. If the sole appears worn down, professional refurbishment might be an option, though grip will naturally decrease with heavy use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  2. Suede/Nubuck Care: If applicable to specific parts of the shoe, use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture.
  3. Lace Cleaning: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  4. Sole Cleaning: Use a brush and mild soap to clean the rubber midsole and outsole.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
