FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 has its roots in basketball, this low-top OG 'Rookie of the Year' edition is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe, offering comfort for everyday wear rather than high-performance athletic activities.

What materials are used in these sneakers?

These sneakers feature a premium Sail leather upper combined with Golden Harvest suede overlays, black leather accents for the Swoosh, and a durable rubber outsole.

How do I maintain the color and quality of the suede?

To maintain the suede, regularly use a suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore its texture. Apply a high-quality suede protectant spray for water and stain resistance. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Are these true to size?

Air Jordan 1s generally fit true to size for most individuals. If you are unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult sizing guides specific to the Air Jordan 1 series.

What is the inspiration behind the 'Rookie of the Year' design?

The 'Rookie of the Year' design is a tribute to Michael Jordan's outstanding first season in the NBA, inspired by the popular 2018 High OG colorway, reflecting his early career achievements.

Can I wear these sneakers in rainy weather?

Due to the premium leather and suede materials, it is advisable to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Water can stain or damage suede, and prolonged exposure can affect the leather. A water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers are creasing at the toe box.

Creasing is a natural part of wear for leather sneakers. To minimize this, use plastic or cedar shoe trees when not wearing them. Avoiding overtightening laces can also help.

Suede areas appear matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the suede in one direction to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution following product instructions.

White/Sail leather has developed minor scuffs or dirt marks.

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a small amount of mild sneaker cleaner diluted with water and apply with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine appearance of your sneakers, especially given their premium leather and suede materials.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe down the leather sections with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dust and dirt.
  2. Suede Care: For the Golden Harvest suede areas, use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Always brush in one direction. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a sneaker-specific cleaning solution applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede *before* first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a protective barrier against liquids and dirt.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or machine dry your Air Jordan 1 Lows, as this can damage the materials and construction.
