FAQs
What does the '85 OG' in the name signify?
The '85 OG' signifies that this shoe is a faithful reissue inspired by the original Air Jordan 1 model released in 1985, incorporating details and construction methods that closely align with the vintage design.
Is the yellowed sole a defect?
No, the lightly pre-yellowed midsole is an intentional design feature. It's part of the shoe's vintage aesthetic, designed to give it a worn-in, aged appearance straight out of the box.
How should I clean the leather material?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive scrubbing, and machine washing to protect the material.
Can I wear these shoes for basketball or other sports?
While originally a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low '85 OG is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker in its retro form. It is not recommended for high-performance sports due to its vintage construction and lack of modern sports technology.
How do these shoes fit compared to other Air Jordan models?
Info needed: Fit can be subjective. Generally, Air Jordan 1 models tend to fit true to size for most individuals. If you have wider feet, you might consider going up a half size for optimal comfort.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper of this Air Jordan 1 Retro Low '85 OG is primarily constructed from premium quality leather.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the leather upper after wear.
This is a natural occurrence with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing and try to avoid excessive bending of the foot. Specific leather conditioners can also help maintain suppleness.
Minor scuff marks or dirt accumulation.
For light scuffs, gently rub with a soft, clean cloth. For dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
The 'vintage' look of the midsole appears too yellowed or uneven.
The pre-yellowed midsole is an intentional design choice to replicate the aged look of the original 1985 model. This is a characteristic feature of the shoe and not a defect. Consistency in the pre-yellowing may vary slightly between pairs.
