Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG - Black - UK 12

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Then, apply a small amount of specialized leather cleaner to a microfiber cloth or soft brush, gently clean the surface in small sections, and wipe away residue with a damp cloth. Finish with a dry cloth and allow to air dry completely. Follow up with a leather conditioner.

Generally, Air Jordan 1s are considered to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. If you are unsure, it's often recommended to stick to your usual Nike size or try them on if possible.

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally designed as a high-performance basketball shoe, modern basketball footwear technology has evolved significantly. Your Retro High OG is primarily intended for casual wear and fashion rather than high-impact athletic activities. Using them for sports could accelerate wear and tear.

'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that the shoe is a faithful recreation of the original 1984/1985 release, often featuring original colorways, materials, and design specifications, including the 'Nike Air' branding on the tongue and the absence of a Jumpman logo on the heel.

The frequency depends on how often you wear the shoes and the climate. For regular wear, conditioning every 2-3 months is a good practice to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. In drier climates or with more frequent use, you might condition more often.

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort or support. Ensure any replacement insoles are of similar thickness to avoid altering the shoe's fit significantly.

This is common with genuine leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Shoe trees can also help maintain shape and gently stretch the leather.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not wearing them and consider purchasing shoe crease protectors that fit inside the toe box.

For dirt, use a sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush to gently scrub the affected areas. For yellowing on older pairs, specialized 'de-yellowing' products exist, but prevention through regular cleaning is best.

Often, a squeak comes from friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. If it persists, the outsole might be separating slightly (less common with new shoes).

Ensure you are using a secure knot (like a double knot or surgeon's knot). If the laces are very slick, consider replacing them with laces that have a bit more texture.
