Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG - Black - UK 7

While the original Air Jordan 1 was designed for basketball, this 'Retro High OG' version is primarily intended for casual and lifestyle wear. Its construction focuses on heritage style and daily comfort rather than high-performance athletic demands.

Regularly clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner followed by a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Store them with shoe trees to maintain shape.

Generally, Air Jordan 1s tend to fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. If you have wider feet, some users find going up half a size can provide more comfort. It's always best to try them on if possible.

'OG' stands for Original, indicating that the shoe is a faithful reproduction of the initial design, including materials and branding. 'Retro' means it's a re-release of a classic model, often with slight updates in materials or manufacturing techniques while maintaining the original's aesthetic.

The padded nylon tongue can be cleaned gently with a soft brush and a mild soap-and-water solution. Avoid saturating the fabric, and let it air dry completely.

While unavoidable with wear, being mindful of where you step and avoiding abrasive surfaces can help. For light scuffs, a leather cleaner and conditioner can often minimize their appearance. For deeper scuffs, professional shoe repair might be an option.

Squeaking can often be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or between rubber parts of the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. For sole squeaks, ensure the rubber is clean and dry; sometimes a thin layer of petroleum jelly on the sole's contact points with the upper can help, but this should be applied sparingly and carefully.

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear, especially with regular use. To minimize severe creasing, use shoe trees when storing your sneakers. Wearing crease protectors inside the toe box can also help maintain the shape while wearing. Avoid folding or bending the shoe excessively.

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing. If the sole is worn smooth, it might indicate significant wear and tear on the rubber.
