FAQs

What does '85 OG' mean?

The '85 OG' designation indicates that this sneaker is a faithful recreation of the original Air Jordan 1 Low design from 1985, incorporating details and construction similar to the vintage model.

Is the pre-yellowed midsole a defect?

No, the pre-yellowed midsole is an intentional design choice to give the sneaker an authentic, worn-in vintage appearance, reminiscent of older sneakers. It is part of the aesthetic.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the leather. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Are these suitable for sports?

While they originated from a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low '85 OG is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-performance sports due to its retro construction and materials.

What materials are used in the construction?

The sneaker features a premium leather upper, providing a durable and classic feel, along with a rubber sole.

Will the grey color fade over time?

With proper care and storage, the primary grey tones should maintain their appearance. Excessive exposure to direct sunlight or harsh elements can potentially lead to some fading over extended periods, so store them appropriately.

How does the sizing compare to other Air Jordan models?

Generally, Air Jordan 1 models tend to fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit preferences may vary. It's often recommended to try them on if possible or refer to standard shoe sizing guides for Air Jordan 1s.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or marks on the leather.

Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner or repair kit might be needed. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear, but if discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or wearing thinner socks. Break them in gradually.

Pre-yellowed midsole appearing uneven or too worn.

This is an intentional design feature to replicate a vintage look. Minor variations are normal and part of the aesthetic. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that might alter this finish.

Foul odor developing inside the shoe.

Ensure shoes are aired out after wear. Use odor removers or cedar shoe trees, which naturally absorb moisture and odors. Consider replacing insoles if necessary.

Care

  • Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild cleaner specifically designed for leather. Avoid harsh chemicals. Gently wipe the Swoosh and other details.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not use artificial heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a breathable shoe bag to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation. Using shoe trees can help preserve the sneaker's form.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the light-colored sections, before first wear and periodically thereafter.
