Product Information

Full details

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Black Metallic Gold' trainers are designed for adults who appreciate classic sneaker silhouettes with a touch of luxury. The key benefit is the striking visual appeal derived from the combination of black patent leather and metallic gold accents, offering a premium aesthetic. A potential caveat is that patent leather can be more prone to creasing and scuffs than traditional leather if not cared for properly. This model revamps the iconic Air Jordan 1 design with lustrous patent leather, featuring golden Swooshes and collar detailing, a nylon tongue with the 'Nike Air' tag, and a unique translucent black sole with gold flecks.

FAQs

What material is the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Black Metallic Gold' made of?

The shoe features a combination of black patent leather for the upper and metallic gold patent leather for accents like the Swoosh and ankle collar. The tongue is made of nylon, and the sole is rubber.

How should I clean the patent leather on these sneakers?

Gently wipe the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive moisture.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Air Jordan 1 silhouette is designed for comfort and durability, making them suitable for everyday casual wear. However, care should be taken with the patent leather to maintain its appearance.

What does 'OG' in the product name refer to?

'OG' typically stands for 'Original' and in this context, it signifies that the shoe is a retro release that closely resembles the original design and specifications of the first Air Jordan 1 released.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the patent leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can leave water spots or damage the material. It is best to wear them in dry conditions or protect them with appropriate footwear treatments.

What is the difference between this 'Black Metallic Gold' colorway and other Air Jordan 1s?

The key difference lies in the use of high-shine black and metallic gold patent leather, offering a more luxurious and attention-grabbing aesthetic compared to traditional leather or nubuck colorways.

How does the sizing run for these trainers?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG generally fits true to size for most wearers. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Patent leather appears creased

Minor creasing is natural with patent leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees for storage. Avoid over-flexing the shoe.

Scuffs or marks on the patent leather

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap on a cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.

Translucent sole appears cloudy

Ensure only a damp cloth or mild soap solution is used for cleaning. Avoid harsh solvents or cleaning agents that can damage the material's finish.

Tongue feels stiff

The nylon tongue may need a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your foot.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges from the patent leather. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. A soft brush can be used for textured areas. For the translucent sole, ensure no harsh cleaners are used that could cloud the material.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape and prevent creasing. Keep in the original box or a dust bag when not in use.
  • Scuff Prevention: Be mindful of surfaces that could scratch or scuff the patent leather. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or excessive moisture.
