FAQs

What does the "Banned" nickname refer to?

The nickname "Banned" refers to the story that the original Air Jordan 1 violated NBA uniform rules, leading to fines. This narrative of defiance became a core part of the shoe's legendary status.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG is primarily designed as a lifestyle or casual shoe. It is not recommended for high-performance athletic activities due to its construction and support features.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth can be used. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the main difference between the low and high versions?

The primary difference is the cut: the low version has a shorter ankle collar, making it more versatile for casual wear and warmer weather, while the high version offers more ankle support and a more traditional basketball silhouette.

How should I store these sneakers?

It is best to store them in their original box in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent excessive creasing when not in use.

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Banned?

The primary material is leather for the upper, with rubber soles and typical textile linings found in athletic footwear.

Is this a limited release shoe?

The "Banned" colorway and OG models are highly sought after and can be considered limited in availability at any given time due to collector demand.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to sizing charts if unsure. Minor tightness may loosen with wear; significant discomfort may indicate an incorrect size.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is a natural part of wear for leather shoes. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when storing and avoid overly tight lacing. 'Crease protectors' can also be inserted into the toe box.

Discoloration or scuffs on leather

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove scuffs. For deeper marks, consult specialized shoe restoration guides or professionals. Applying a leather protectant can help prevent future marks.
