FAQs
What material is the Air Jordan 1 "Pollen" made of?
The shoe features a leather upper with tumbled black leather and "Pollen" Yellow leather overlays. The tongue is made of nylon.
How do I clean the yellow "Pollen" parts?
Gently wipe the yellow leather areas with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner designed for yellow or light-colored leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes good for playing basketball?
While the Air Jordan 1 has roots in basketball, the "Pollen" Retro High OG is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For performance basketball, modern basketball-specific shoes offer better support and technology.
What does the "OG" in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG mean?
OG stands for 'Original'. It indicates that this release is a retro (reissue) of the original 1985 design, staying true to its initial shape, materials, and color-blocking, often with updated comfort technology.
How is the sizing for the Air Jordan 1 "Pollen"?
The Air Jordan 1 generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, some find them slightly snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult size charts and reviews specific to your foot width.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can withstand light moisture, these are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and potential water penetration.
What is the significance of the "Pollen" colorway?
The "Pollen" colorway is part of Jordan Brand's strategy to release classic silhouettes in fresh, vibrant color combinations. The yellow and black offer a bold, eye-catching take on the iconic Air Jordan 1 design.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Minor creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize severe creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Discoloration of yellow overlays
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean gently with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners.
Traction feels reduced on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly worn outsoles, consider professional sole restoration if available.
Tongue feels stiff or uncomfortable
The nylon tongue may need a break-in period. Flex the tongue gently or wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow it to soften.
