FAQs

What does '85 OG mean for this shoe?

The '85 OG designation signifies that this model is a faithful recreation, or 'original gangster' version, of the Air Jordan 1 Low first released in 1985, incorporating period-accurate details and aesthetics.

Why is the midsole yellowed?

The lightly pre-yellowed midsole is an intentional design feature. It's a key part of the shoe's vintage aesthetic, created to give it a worn-in, aged look that pays homage to the original 1985 sneakers.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

No, while it's an Air Jordan, this Retro Low '85 model is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is not intended for performance basketball play, which requires specialized athletic footwear.

What materials are used in the construction?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low '85 OG 'Neutral Grey' features a premium leather upper, which contributes to its classic look and feel.

How do I best maintain the leather?

To maintain the leather, regularly wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for sneakers. Always avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.

Are the grey tones different from previous 'Neutral Grey' releases?

Yes, according to experts, the grey tones on this '85 OG version are noted to be darker compared to previous releases, enhancing its distinct vintage appearance.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or marks appear on the leather

Gently clean with a soft cloth and a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for sneaker use. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner can sometimes help.

Creasing develops in the toe box or upper

Creasing is a natural occurrence with wear on leather shoes. To minimize it, ensure you have the correct size, and use shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn to help retain their shape.

Midsole appears to be losing its 'worn-in' yellowed look

The pre-yellowed midsole is an intentional design. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or abrasive brushes on this area, as they can inadvertently remove the vintage finish. Clean gently with a damp cloth only.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoe

Allow the sneakers to air out naturally after wearing. You can also use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda (allow to sit overnight, then tap out) to neutralize smells.

Care Instructions

To ensure your Air Jordan 1 Retro Low '85 OG 'Neutral Grey' sneakers maintain their distinctive look and quality, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a reputable leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the leather or alter the intentional pre-yellowed finish of the midsole.
  • Maintaining Shape: Use shoe trees when not wearing your sneakers to help preserve their original shape and prevent creasing, especially in the vamp area.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using the original box or a breathable shoe bag can help protect them from dust and environmental factors.
  • Protection: While the leather offers some natural resistance, it's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or moisture to prevent water damage and staining. Consider a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather for added protection.
  • Midsole Care: The lightly pre-yellowed midsole is an intentional design feature. Avoid harsh scrubbing or bleaching agents on this area, as it may remove the intended vintage effect.
