FAQs

What is the primary inspiration behind this shoe?

The Air Jordan 1 Low 'Rookie of the Year' is directly inspired by the outfit Michael Jordan wore for his 1985 'Rookie of the Year' acceptance speech award.

Are these sneakers suitable for basketball or other sports?

While the Air Jordan 1 lineage originated as a basketball shoe, this specific low-top iteration is primarily designed for style and comfort in everyday casual wear, rather than high-performance athletic activities.

What materials are used in the construction?

The upper features a combination of premium 'Sail' leather and 'Golden Harvest' nubuck overlays, with a durable rubber outsole and Air cushioning in the midsole.

How do I ensure the best fit?

It is recommended to select your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly looser fit, consider going up half a size. The premium materials may conform to your foot over time.

How should I clean the nubuck and leather?

For basic cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized cleaner formulated for leather and nubuck materials. Always follow the product instructions and allow the shoes to air dry.

Does it have good traction?

Yes, the shoe is equipped with a durable, grippy rubber outsole that includes hoops pivot circles, providing superior traction on various surfaces for everyday wear.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the materials are durable, it's recommended to avoid heavy wet weather to preserve the premium leather and nubuck. Consider using a water and stain repellent spray for added protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is slightly snug, wearing them for short periods initially can help the premium leather and nubuck conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half size up.

Materials appear dull or dirty

Regularly clean the leather and nubuck upper using a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a cleaner specifically designed for these materials. Always air dry.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces

While the rubber outsole offers superior traction, always be mindful of extremely wet or slippery conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris, which can impact grip.
