FAQs

What does the '85' in the name signify?

The '85' indicates that this model is a faithful reproduction of the original Air Jordan 1 Low design from 1985, featuring period-correct details like the eight lace holes and specific proportions.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While the original Air Jordan 1 was a basketball shoe, this '85 retro low model is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for athletic performance or on-court basketball.

How should I clean the aged midsole?

The aged midsole is an intentional design feature. For cleaning, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, but avoid harsh chemicals that could alter its intended vintage appearance.

Are these true to size?

Generally, Air Jordan 1 models tend to fit true to size for most individuals. We recommend trying them on if possible or consulting a size chart if unsure.

What materials are used in the construction?

The Air Jordan 1 Low '85 'Neutral Grey' features premium leather uppers and grey suede Swooshes, complemented by a rubber outsole.

How do these differ from the Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Neutral Grey' released in 2020?

This '85 version offers more details that pay homage to the original 1985 sneakers, including a truer '85 cut, specific lace hole setup, and a more faithful recreation of the original silhouette, whereas the 2020 OG was a retro of a different era's low.

Can I use waterproof spray on them?

Yes, applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede is recommended to protect your sneakers from the elements and extend their lifespan. Always follow the spray product's instructions.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or dirt on leather uppers

Gently wipe with a damp soft cloth. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers, following the product instructions.

Suede material appears matted or dusty

Use a suede brush with soft bristles to gently restore the nap and remove surface dust. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be used carefully.

Laces become dirty or worn

Remove laces and hand wash them with a mild detergent, then air dry. Replace them with new laces if they are significantly worn.

Slight discoloration or yellowing beyond the intentional aged effect

Ensure sneakers are stored out of direct sunlight. For slight yellowing on white areas, specialized sneaker cleaning solutions with whitening agents may help, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions

Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your Air Jordan 1 Low '85:

  1. General Cleaning:
  • For leather uppers: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized sneaker leather cleaner and conditioner, applying sparingly with a microfiber cloth.
  • For suede Swooshes: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt. For specific stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive water directly on suede.
  • For outsoles: Clean the rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution and a brush to remove debris.
  1. Protection: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry before application, and follow the product's instructions for best results.
  2. Storage:
  • Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation and unwanted discoloration.
  • Consider using shoe trees to help maintain the shoe's original shape and prevent creasing.
  1. Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry these sneakers, as this can damage the materials and construction.
