FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG typically fits true to standard sizing, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size larger for comfort.
Can I use these for basketball?
While originally designed as performance basketball shoes, modern technology has advanced significantly; these are now considered lifestyle shoes.
What is the best way to clean the white leather parts?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water applied with a soft cloth, then wipe dry immediately.
Does the blue colour bleed onto the white leather?
The materials are high quality, but avoid soaking the shoes in water, as excessive moisture can occasionally cause color migration.
Are these sneakers suitable for daily wear?
Yes, they are durable enough for daily use, provided you practice routine maintenance and cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain their shape.
Scuffs on the blue leather overlays
Gently use a dedicated leather eraser or a damp soft cloth to buff out light scuffs. Do not use abrasive scrubbing tools.
Sole traction feels slippery
New outsoles can occasionally feel slippery. Wearing them on rougher surfaces or wiping the sole with a damp cloth can improve grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers are constructed from premium leather, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading and cracking.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and a microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid heat sources like radiators, which can warp the leather.
- Compatibility: The neutral white base makes these highly compatible with various casual wardrobes, ranging from denim to technical sportswear.
