FAQs

What does AJKO stand for?

AJKO is believed to stand for 'Air Jordan Knock Off', referencing the shoe's construction using canvas similar to early basketball shoe designs, differentiating it from the traditional leather Air Jordan 1.

How many Swoosh patches are included?

The Air Jordan 1 AJKO Low x Union LA typically comes with multiple sets of interchangeable Swoosh patches, allowing for different styling options.

Is the UN/LA tag permanently attached?

The UN/LA tag is revealed when the Velcro Swoosh is removed, suggesting it is part of the underlying shoe design rather than a separate, removable component.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and adhesive components of the sneakers.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain their condition.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers and are not recommended for intense athletic performance like basketball.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from canvas material, featuring white and neutral grey color blocking.

Troubleshooting

Swoosh patches not sticking securely.

Ensure both the Velcro on the patch and the shoe are clean and free of debris. Press firmly and hold for a few seconds to ensure a good bond.

Canvas appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated sneaker cleaner for canvas or a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Yellow stitching showing wear or dirt.

Carefully clean the stitching with a small brush and a diluted cleaning solution. For persistent marks, a very fine-tipped cotton swab can be used for precision.

Discoloration of the sail midsole.

Clean the midsole regularly with a damp cloth. For yellowing, a magic eraser can be used cautiously, but avoid excessive scrubbing which might damage the material.
