FAQs

What does 'KO' stand for in Air Jordan 1 KO Low?

The 'KO' designation typically refers to a canvas construction in the Air Jordan 1 lineage, differentiating it from the standard leather versions. This model incorporates this design cue.

How do I change the Swooshes?

Gently pull the existing Swoosh away from the shoe to detach it. Align the new Swoosh with the velcro areas on the shoe and press firmly to attach.

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

These are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear and style. They are not optimized for the demands of athletic performance like basketball.

What is the main difference between this and other Air Jordan 1 Lows?

The key differences are the collaborative design with Union LA, the 'KO' construction elements, and the inclusion of interchangeable velcro Swooshes with a hidden UN/LA tag.

What other colorways or collaborations are available?

This specific release is the White/Sail/University Gold/Neutral Grey colorway. Other Air Jordan 1 collaborations and colorways exist from both Jordan Brand and Union LA.

What size is UK 12 in adult men's US sizing?

A UK 12 typically corresponds to a US men's size 13.

What year was this shoe released?

This specific collaboration was released on May 2nd, 2023.

Troubleshooting

Velcro on Swooshes is not sticking well.

Ensure both the shoe's velcro surface and the Swoosh's velcro are clean and free of debris. Gently press the Swoosh onto the shoe for a few seconds.

Discoloration on white or gold panels.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth as soon as any marks appear. For tougher stains, consult a professional sneaker cleaning service.

Shoes feel stiff initially.

Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The materials are designed to mold to your foot over time, increasing comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no setup beyond wearing. The primary customization comes from attaching and detaching the velcro Swooshes.

Compatibility: The interchangeable Swooshes are designed specifically for this model. The shoe's low-top profile makes it compatible with a wide range of casual attire, from jeans and shorts to joggers.

Care: To maintain the appearance of your Union LA x Air Jordan 1 KO Lows:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner can be used sparingly on non-fabric areas.
  2. Swoosh Care: When removing or attaching velcro Swooshes, do so gently to avoid damaging the material or the velcro itself.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
