FAQs
What does 'Banned' refer to in the shoe's name?
The 'Banned' colorway refers to an original Air Jordan 1 that was reportedly banned by the NBA for violating league uniform rules, creating a legendary backstory for the shoe and the Jordan brand.
Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?
While the Air Jordan 1 has basketball roots, the Retro Low OG Banned is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. It does not feature the advanced performance technology of modern basketball sneakers.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the difference between the low and high versions of the Air Jordan 1?
The primary difference is the cut: the low version has a lower ankle collar for a more casual look and feel, while the high version offers more ankle support and a classic high-top aesthetic.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG models fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit preferences can vary, and trying them on is always recommended if possible.
What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Banned?
The primary material used is leather for the upper, with a rubber sole for durability and traction.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper can be treated with a water-repellent spray for some protection. However, they are not waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended to maintain the leather's condition.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Natural creasing can occur with wear. To minimize its appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and consider using crease protectors inside the shoe.
Discoloration of white panels
Wipe white panels with a slightly damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the leather.
Laces fraying
Gently clean laces and ensure they are not tied too tightly, which can cause friction and fraying. Replace laces if damage is significant.
Fit feels too snug
Leather can stretch slightly over time. Wearing them with thinner socks might provide more immediate comfort. If still too tight, consider professional stretching services.
