FAQs

What does 'AJKO' stand for?

AJKO typically refers to an 'Air Jordan KO' model, which often features a canvas upper instead of the traditional leather found on standard Air Jordan 1s.

What are the main colors of this shoe?

The shoe features a white and neutral grey canvas upper, a sail midsole, and accents of University Gold (yellow) stitching and Swoosh branding.

Can I change the color of the Swoosh?

Yes, this model comes with interchangeable blue and grey Swoosh patches that can be attached or removed via velcro.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from canvas.

When was this shoe released?

The Air Jordan 1 AJKO Low SP Union released on January 27, 2023.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

No, this is a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual wear and comfort, not for athletic performance like running.

Troubleshooting

Swoosh patch not sticking properly

Ensure the velcro on both the shoe and the patch is clean and free of debris. Re-align the patch carefully and press firmly.

Canvas material appears dirty

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Allow to air dry naturally.

Yellow stitching fraying

If minor fraying occurs, a small amount of fabric glue can be carefully applied to secure the threads. Avoid pulling on the stitching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique collaboration between two respected brands.
  • Customizable with interchangeable Swoosh patches.
  • Clean color scheme suitable for various outfits.
  • Features classic Air Jordan 1 design elements.
  • Limited edition, increasing collectible value.

Cons

  • Limited availability can make it difficult to purchase at retail.
  • Canvas upper may be less durable than leather in harsh conditions.
  • Resale prices can be significantly higher than the original retail cost.
  • Laces and Swoosh patches may require careful handling to maintain their condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the shoes from the packaging. Inspect for any manufacturing defects.
  2. Customization: If desired, gently detach the existing Swoosh patches and attach the alternative blue or grey patches by aligning the velcro. Ensure they are securely fastened.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: These shoes follow standard US Men's sizing. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts.
  • Outfit Pairing: The neutral color palette with yellow accents makes them versatile for pairing with a wide range of casual wear, including jeans, shorts, and joggers.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the canvas upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the rubber sole and midsole, a dedicated sneaker cleaner or a mild soap and water solution can be used with a soft cloth.
  • Swoosh Patches: When removing or attaching Swoosh patches, do so gently to avoid tearing the velcro or the canvas.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.
