FAQs

What material are these sneakers made from?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG in Red is crafted from durable, premium leather, ensuring both a luxurious feel and long-lasting wear.

Are these suitable for athletic activities?

While designed by a sports brand, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG is primarily a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is best suited for casual wear and street style, not high-performance athletic activities.

How should I clean the red leather?

For general cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, applying it gently as per product instructions.

Are they true to size?

Most customers find Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG models to fit true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so if possible, trying them on or consulting a size chart is recommended.

How can I protect my sneakers from water and stains?

You can use a quality leather protector spray designed for footwear. Apply it evenly according to the product's instructions to create a barrier against moisture and stains.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can severely damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the sneakers. Always clean by hand using appropriate leather care products.

What makes these sneakers 'OG'?

The 'OG' (Original) designation typically refers to models that closely replicate the original 1985 design details, including specific branding placements, shape, and materials, making them highly sought after by collectors.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or minor marks appear on the leather.

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner and follow its instructions, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.

Shoes appear dull or the leather feels dry.

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner using a soft cloth, rubbing it gently into the leather. This helps moisturize and restore the material's luster. Allow to air dry naturally.

The vibrant red color seems to be fading or has dirt embedded.

Clean regularly with products specifically designed for colored leather to prevent dirt buildup and protect the dye. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading over time.
