FAQs

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low '85 OG 'Neutral Grey'?

The sneaker features a premium leather upper and a durable rubber outsole, consistent with its vintage 1985 design.

How do I maintain the pre-yellowed midsole?

The pre-yellowed midsole is an intentional design feature to give a vintage look. To maintain its appearance, clean it gently with a soft brush and mild soap if needed, avoiding harsh chemicals that might alter its unique finish.

Are these shoes suitable for basketball or other sports?

While the Air Jordan 1 has roots in basketball, this '85 OG Retro Low is designed as a lifestyle shoe. For optimal performance in sports, modern basketball shoes with advanced technology would be more suitable.

What does '85 OG' signify?

'85 OG' signifies that this release is a faithful recreation of the original (OG) Air Jordan 1 from 1985, incorporating details, shape, and materials that closely match the initial production run.

How does the sizing typically run for this model?

Info needed: Please consult specific sizing charts or try on the shoes if possible, as sneaker sizing can vary. Generally, Air Jordan 1s tend to fit true to size for most individuals, but personal preference for fit can differ.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?

As these shoes are primarily made of leather, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent water damage or staining. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty or scuffed after wear.

Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Leather looks dull or dry.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or moisturizer using a soft cloth. This helps to nourish the leather and restore its natural sheen. Ensure the product is suitable for sneaker leather.

Creasing on the toe box or sides.

Creasing is a natural part of wearing leather sneakers. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing your shoes. Wearing them snug but not tight can also help distribute pressure evenly.

Unpleasant odor inside the shoes.

Allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area after each wear. You can also use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside, letting it sit overnight before shaking it out.
