FAQs
Is this shoe true to size?
Yes, the Jordan 1 Retro Low OG generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I use these for basketball?
While the shoe was originally a basketball sneaker, modern technology has vastly improved performance. These are best reserved for lifestyle and casual use.
How do I best protect the sail leather?
Apply a high-quality, leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier against the elements.
What is the primary material?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, consistent with the original design specifications of the Retro 1 series.
Are these suitable for all-day wear?
They are suitable for most daily activities, though they lack the advanced cushioning found in modern running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
This is expected with premium leather. Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuffs on sail leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out marks. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the finish.
Sole grip issues on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is free of debris. If the rubber is dusty, wipe it down with a damp cloth to restore natural grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Jordan 1 Retro Low OGs in prime condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the university red accents over time. When wearing, use a shoe horn to avoid damaging the heel counter. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp microfiber cloth to remove surface dirt from the leather. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to maintain their shape and allow them to air-dry naturally at room temperature.
