FAQs

What materials are these sneakers made from?

These sneakers feature premium calf leather for the Sail base and rich Golden Harvest suede for the overlays, combined with rubber soles.

Is the 'Rookie of the Year' colorway inspired by a specific event?

Yes, this low-top version is inspired by the popular 2018 High OG colorway, which itself pays homage to Michael Jordan's iconic rookie season in the NBA.

How do I clean the suede parts without damaging them?

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For more persistent marks, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid using water or harsh liquid cleaners directly on the suede.

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 has roots in basketball, this specific 'Low OG' iteration is primarily designed and optimized for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, rather than performance on the court.

What does 'OG' in the product name signify?

'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that the sneaker's design, materials, and color blocking are true to or closely inspired by the original 1985 Air Jordan 1 models.

How can I prevent my sneakers from creasing?

To help prevent creasing, use shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn. Avoid prolonged periods of wear with laces tied too tightly, which can put excessive stress on the toe box area.

Is the sizing consistent with other Air Jordan 1 models?

Generally, Air Jordan 1 Low models tend to fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly. If unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or refer to sizing guides.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the suede in one direction to lift the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser before brushing.

Leather has developed creases.

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, insert shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers. Avoid excessively tight lacing which can put stress on the toe box.

Light-colored Sail leather appears stained or discolored.

Immediately wipe off any spills with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for light-colored leather, following product instructions carefully. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
