FAQs

What materials are used in the construction of these sneakers?

These sneakers feature premium calf leather for the main upper, rich Golden Harvest nubuck (suede) for the overlays, and a durable rubber outsole.

Are these sneakers suitable for playing sports?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Its premium materials are best preserved by avoiding high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede (Golden Harvest nubuck) parts of the shoe?

For suede/nubuck, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dust and restore the nap. For minor stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners directly on suede.

What is the inspiration behind the design of these sneakers?

The design of these sneakers is a modern reinterpretation inspired by Michael Jordan's iconic 1985 'Rookie of the Year' acceptance outfit, giving them a significant place in sneaker history.

Do these sneakers offer good breathability?

Yes, they feature perforated toe boxes, which are designed to enhance airflow and provide breathability, helping to keep your feet comfortable.

How can I protect my sneakers from water and stains?

It is recommended to apply a specialized water and stain repellent spray, suitable for both leather and suede, before initial wear and periodically thereafter. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area.

What kind of cushioning can I expect?

The sneakers are equipped with 'unrivalled cloud-like cushioning' underfoot, designed to provide comfort for everyday wear and casual outings.

Troubleshooting

Suede/Nubuck appears dull or matted.

Gently brush the suede/nubuck areas with a specialized suede brush. This helps to lift the nap and restore its original texture and appearance. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be used sparingly.

Leather has minor scuffs or dirt marks.

Wipe the affected leather areas with a soft, clean, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a small amount of leather cleaner can be applied with a soft cloth, following the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Sneakers have an unpleasant odor.

Remove the insoles if possible and allow the shoes to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry before storage.
