FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the "Black Mocha" colorway?
The "Black Mocha" colorway is inspired by the "Black Toe" design theme of the Air Jordan 1, specifically referencing the popular Jordan 1 Travis Scott and the original Jordan 1 Black Toe releases.
What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Black Mocha"?
The shoe features a combination of sail and black leather on the upper, with dark mocha suede accents on the heel and ankle. It has a sail midsole and a black rubber outsole.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Suede parts should be cleaned using a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Avoid using water or regular shoe cleaners on suede.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While built on a performance-oriented silhouette, these are primarily lifestyle sneakers. They offer good traction and comfort for everyday wear but are not designed for high-impact athletic activities.
What is the typical retail price for these trainers?
The original retail price for the Jordan 1 High Dark Mocha was $175 USD upon its release in October 2020.
Can the "Black Mocha" colorway be worn with different outfits?
Yes, the color scheme is highly versatile and pairs well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and streetwear-inspired outfits.
What are the main differences between this and the Travis Scott Jordan 1s?
While sharing a similar colorblocking, the "Black Mocha" features a distinct mocha suede instead of the Travis Scott's unique textures and Cactus Jack branding. The Jordan 1 Travis Scott also typically features backward-facing Swooshes.
Troubleshooting
Creasing of the leather
Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize its appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing. Do not attempt to iron out creases.
Scuffs on the midsole or outsole
Minor scuffs can often be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used carefully on the midsole, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
Discoloration of suede
Protect suede from moisture and direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, use a suede eraser and brush. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Tongue or laces not sitting correctly
Adjust the lacing pattern to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure the tongue is centered before tying the laces tightly.
