The upper is constructed from premium leather, providing both durability and a classic look.
The metallic blue Swooshes and heel tab can be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the metallic finish.
While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this Retro Low '85 model is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-performance athletic activities. Modern basketball shoes offer superior support and cushioning for sports.
The '85 cut aims to replicate the original 1985 silhouette as accurately as possible. This often means a slightly more streamlined shape, a different toe box structure, and sometimes a narrower fit compared to more contemporary Air Jordan 1 Low releases.
While the leather offers some resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the leather and prevent water damage. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather sneakers can offer extra protection against light moisture.
For the '85 cut, many find them to be true to size, but some users with wider feet might consider going up half a size due to the more streamlined 1985 shape. We recommend trying them on if possible or checking specific user reviews for sizing advice.
Gently clean scuff marks using a sneaker cleaner designed for leather or a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used with caution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder underneath it. Reinsert the insole.
Consider treating the white laces with a water and stain repellent spray. Alternatively, keep a spare pair of laces handy for quick replacements or wash the existing ones regularly as per the care instructions.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape naturally.
