FAQs

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low '85 OG 'Neutral Grey' is constructed from premium leather.

Is the yellowing on the midsole a defect?

No, the *lightly pre-yellowed midsole* is an intentional design choice, crafted to give the sneaker a classic worn look reminiscent of vintage shoes from 1985.

How do these sneakers compare to the 2020 Air Jordan 1 Low OG Neutral Grey?

This 2023 release *updates the 2020 model* by incorporating more detailed references to the original 1985 Air Jordan 1, including specific cut and shape elements, and potentially slightly *darker grey tones*.

Are these suitable for sports or athletic activities?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low '85 OG 'Neutral Grey' is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, not for athletic performance.

How should I clean my Air Jordan 1 Retro Low '85 OG?

For the *leather upper*, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Use a dedicated leather cleaner for deeper stains. Allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, especially on the *pre-yellowed midsole*.

What are the primary colors in this sneaker?

The colorway features Summit White, Light Smoke Grey, Neutral Grey, and Sail, creating a timeless and versatile aesthetic.

Will the leather stretch over time?

Yes, like most quality leather footwear, the *leather upper* will naturally soften and conform to your foot's shape with regular wear, improving comfort.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears stiff or uncomfortable.

This is common with new leather sneakers. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The leather will soften and conform to your foot over time.

Sneakers getting dirty quickly.

Regularly wipe down the *leather upper* with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to prevent dirt buildup. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.

Creasing on the toe box or vamp.

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing and consider wearing shoe shields inside while wearing them. Avoid walking in ill-fitting sizes.

Pre-yellowed midsole looks too yellow/uneven.

The *lightly pre-yellowed midsole* is an intentional vintage design element. Variations in the aging effect can occur. Avoid attempting to whiten it, as this may damage the material or alter the intended aesthetic.

Care

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the *leather upper* with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
