FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the 'Royal Toe' colorway?
The 'Royal Toe' colorway draws inspiration from two iconic Air Jordan 1 releases: the original 'Royal' colorway from 1985 and the 'Black Toe' colorway, merging elements of both for a distinct look.
What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Royal Toe'?
The shoe features a premium upper constructed primarily from white and royal blue leather, with black leather overlays. It also includes a lightly padded nylon tongue.
How should I clean my Royal Toe Air Jordan 1s?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be applied carefully. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.
Are these suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Royal Toe' is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. They are not engineered for the demands of modern basketball performance.
What is the difference between this and the original 'Royal' Air Jordan 1?
The original 'Royal' Air Jordan 1 features royal blue panels in place of black overlays found on the 'Royal Toe' version. The 'Royal Toe' also incorporates the color-blocking style of the 'Black Toe' AJ1.
What size range are these available in?
The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Royal Toe' is available in various adult and kids' sizes. The specific listing is for a UK size 12.5.
When were these released?

Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Minor creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize visible creasing, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces. Specialized anti-crease protectors can also be inserted into the shoe.
Color transfer from royal blue to white leather
This can occur, especially when new or wet. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. Use a leather protectant spray on the royal blue areas, and consider using 'shoe guards' or tissue paper inside the shoe when storing to prevent contact.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the sole and the insole, or between different parts of the sole. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or checking if the laces are too tight.
Difficulty putting on or taking off
Ensure laces are loosened adequately before attempting to put on or remove the shoes. If the fit is consistently tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoes need a brief break-in period.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: To clean the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Using shoe trees can help preserve the form.
- Laces: Laces can be removed for cleaning or replacement. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
