FAQs

What does 'OG' mean in the product name?

'OG' stands for 'Original' or 'Original Gangster' and signifies that the shoe is a faithful recreation of the original 1985 release's colorway, materials, and shape, staying true to its roots.

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this 'Retro High OG' version is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Modern basketball shoes offer more advanced technology and support for on-court performance.

How do I know if they are true to size?

Air Jordan 1s typically fit true to size for most individuals. It is recommended to purchase your standard sneaker size. If you have wider feet, you might consider going up half a size for comfort, but generally, sticking to your usual size is best.

What is Nike Air technology?

Nike Air technology involves pressurized air encapsulated in a durable, flexible membrane. This air pocket provides lightweight cushioning and impact absorption, enhancing comfort and reducing stress on your feet during wear.

How often should I clean my Air Jordan 1s?

The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For optimal care, it's a good practice to wipe them down after each wear to remove surface dirt. A deeper clean with specialized products can be done every few weeks or as needed.

Can I prevent the yellowing of the vintage-inspired midsole?

The vintage-inspired midsole is designed with an off-white, slightly aged look. While natural aging (oxidation) can cause further yellowing over time, proper storage away from direct sunlight and heat can help slow this process. There's no way to completely prevent natural material aging.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing on the toe box.

Creasing is a natural occurrence with leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing your sneakers. You can also try carefully massaging out minor creases with a damp cloth and mild heat (e.g., from a hairdryer on a low setting, held at a distance) while the shoe is on a shoe tree or stuffed to shape.

Dirt or scuffs on the white leather.

For light dirt, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn scuffs, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for leather. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and rub in small circular motions, then wipe clean with another damp cloth.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replace the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole, which often resolves with more wear.

Care

Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium look and longevity of your Air Jordan 1s:

  1. Cleaning: For general dirt, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose debris. For leather surfaces, wipe with a damp, soft cloth using a mild cleaner specifically designed for leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Stains: Address stains immediately. Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner following the product's instructions.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to protect the leather and maintain their shape. Using shoe trees can help prevent creasing when not in use.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for leather sneakers to repel water and stains, especially before initial wear.
