The upper is crafted from premium leather, offering durability and a classic look.

How does the Nike Air cushioning work?

The shoe features a Nike Air-Sole unit embedded in the midsole, which provides lightweight and responsive cushioning by trapping air under pressure.

How should I clean the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush using mild soap and water. Ensure to wipe away any residue to prevent slipperiness.

What does 'OG' stand for in Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

What other colorways are available for the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG series has been released in numerous colorways over the years, including many variations of black, white, red, blue, and other popular combinations.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize visible creasing, ensure proper fit, use shoe trees when not in use, and avoid overly bending the shoe when walking.

Discoloration of the 'Game Royal' blue accents

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh cleaning agents. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and store away from light.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between the insole and midsole, or friction. Try removing the insole, drying both thoroughly, and then reinserting. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Dirt build-up on the white midsole

Use a magic eraser or a soft cloth with a specialized shoe cleaner for white midsoles. Clean regularly to prevent stains from setting in.
