FAQs

What does 'OG' mean in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

'OG' refers to Original. In this context, it signifies that the sneaker stays true to the original 1985 design, including details like the ankle collar shape and the classic Air Jordan Wings logo.

How do I clean the premium leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used. Always ensure the shoes are air-dried completely.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

While they offer good support for casual wear, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. They are not designed for high-impact sports or professional athletic performance.

What is the significance of the UNC Toe colorway?

The 'UNC Toe' colorway is a nod to Michael Jordan's time at the University of North Carolina (UNC), where he famously wore colors like university blue.

How should I store my Air Jordan 1s?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can withstand light moisture, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and prevent potential color transfer.

Troubleshooting

Sizing concerns

Refer to the size chart and consider that the fit may vary slightly based on foot shape. For a snugger fit, lace them tighter; for a looser feel, loosen the laces.

Leather creasing

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Color transfer

In rare cases, darker leather elements might transfer color to lighter socks, especially when new or wet. Wear with matching colored socks initially or ensure shoes are dry.
