FAQs

What material is the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Pollen" made of?

The shoe features a premium leather upper with 'Pollen' colored overlays, a nylon tongue, and a rubber outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?

While they offer cushioning and support, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Pollen" is primarily designed for casual wear, lifestyle, and light athletic activities, not for high-impact or performance sports.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly, testing on a small area first. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

What does 'Retro High OG' signify?

'Retro' indicates a re-release of a classic model, and 'High OG' refers to the original high-top cut and detailing that closely matches the 1985 release.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It is recommended to check the brand's official sizing chart and measure your foot length. Comparing these measurements to the shoe's listed size is the best approach, as sizing can sometimes vary slightly between models.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. It's advisable to use a leather protector spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit, not too tight or too loose.

Leather shows minor scuffs or marks.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth, following the product's instructions. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Slight squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components or the tongue. Try adjusting the lacing, or if the sound persists, a very small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help, though this should be done cautiously.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard sock wear. They are versatile for casual wear, streetwear fashion, and light athletic activities.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks on the leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and prevent creasing. Ensure they are clean before long-term storage.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to help guard against water and stains, especially if wearing them in varied weather conditions.
