FAQs

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Low 85 "Neutral Grey"?

These sneakers feature premium leather uppers, a suede Swoosh, and a rubber outsole. The heel panel also incorporates suede.

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball or other sports?

No, while the original Air Jordan 1 was a basketball shoe, this '85 Low version is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker and is not recommended for athletic performance.

How do I keep the pre-aged midsole from getting discolored further?

The midsole is designed with a pre-yellowed look. To maintain this appearance and prevent additional unwanted discoloration, keep the shoes clean and store them away from direct sunlight or harsh chemicals.

Do the Air Jordan 1 Low 85 run true to size?

Generally, Air Jordan 1s tend to fit true to size for most individuals. However, the '85 cut can sometimes feel slightly different than modern Air Jordan 1s. We recommend trying them on if possible or consulting a size chart if you are unsure.

What makes the '85 version different from other Air Jordan 1 Low releases?

The '85 designation signifies a return to the original silhouette, materials, and construction details of the 1985 release. This includes specific proportions, an eight-lace hole setup, and more accurate shaping compared to standard retro models.

How do I prevent my leather shoes from creasing?

Creasing is a natural part of wearing leather shoes. To minimize it, use shoe trees when the shoes are not being worn, and avoid wearing oversized shoes that allow for excessive movement of the leather.

Troubleshooting

My shoes are creasing heavily in the toe box.

Creasing is natural for leather shoes. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing them. Avoid excessively tight lacing which can put more stress on the leather.

The white leather parts are getting dirty quickly.

Regularly wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth immediately after wear. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather shoe cleaner and a soft brush or cloth. Apply a protective spray to help repel dirt.

The suede Swoosh looks matted or dirty.

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For deeper stains, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

The shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. If they are new, leather shoes can sometimes require a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially or use thinner socks. Lacing them more loosely can also help.

My shoes have a distinct odor.

Ensure proper ventilation by storing them in an open space. You can use shoe deodorizers or insert cedar shoe trees, which naturally absorb moisture and odors.

Care Instructions

To maintain the pristine condition and longevity of your Air Jordan 1 Low 85 "Neutral Grey" sneakers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove superficial dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Suede Care: For the suede Swooshes and heel panel, use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Deep Cleaning (Leather): For more stubborn marks on leather, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for leather, applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product instructions and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Never put them in a dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede to provide an extra layer of protection against elements. Reapply periodically.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing, especially in the toe box area.
