FAQs

Are these true to size?

Yes, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit, some users prefer to size up by half.

How do I best protect the white leather?

Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather can help create a barrier against dirt and moisture.

Are these suitable for intense sports?

While based on a 1985 basketball shoe, modern technology has advanced significantly. These are recommended primarily for lifestyle and casual use.

Is the material genuine leather?

Yes, the model utilizes a construction of tumbled leather for the base and overlays.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, you can customize the look by using different colored or patterned laces that fit the standard eyelet configuration.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box

This is common with leather trainers. Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Scuffs on the white leather

Use a specialized leather eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent to gently buff out surface-level scuffs.

Stiff fit during initial wear

The high-quality leather requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short intervals indoors to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are heritage-style leather sneakers, proper care is essential to preserve their appearance. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust, followed by a mild leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth for the white base and colored overlays. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking and the colors from fading. Always ensure the laces are loosened before entry or exit to maintain the structural shape of the heel collar.
