FAQs

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

'OG' stands for Original, indicating that the design features are true to the very first release of that particular style, including details like the Nike Air branding on the tongue and the classic Wings logo placement on the heel.

Is the Air unit visible on this model?

No, the Air unit in the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG is 'encapsulated,' meaning it's embedded within the sole for cushioning and is not visible from the exterior of the shoe.

Can I wear these sneakers for basketball or other sports?

While the Air Jordan 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this retro low-top version is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion purposes. For serious athletic activities, modern performance basketball shoes would offer superior support and technology.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Air Jordan 1s typically fit true to size for most individuals. If you are unsure, it's recommended to try them on or consult a size chart. Info needed: Consider your usual UK shoe size for Nike products.

What is the best way to protect the white leather from dirt and stains?

Regularly clean your sneakers as outlined in the 'Care' section. Additionally, applying a protective leather or sneaker spray before initial wear can create a barrier against water and stains, making them easier to clean later.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is typically made of rubber, designed to provide durable traction and support for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing appears after wear.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing your sneakers and apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

New leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot's shape. The encapsulated Air unit will also settle with wear.

White leather looks dull or discolored.

Clean the white leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a dedicated white leather cleaner. For persistent discoloration, consider a leather whitening cream designed for sneakers, following product instructions carefully.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with baby powder, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check if the tongue is rubbing against the laces or side panels.

Designed for adult males, these Air Jordan 1 Low OGs are highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They pair well with jeans, shorts, chinos, and casual trousers. Their classic silhouette and vibrant University Red accents make them a focal point for outfits, suitable for various informal occasions.

Care:

Proper care for the leather upper is crucial to maintain the shoe's appearance and longevity.

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the white leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. For the red accents and rubber sole, a mild soap solution and a brush can be effective.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially on the white leather.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
  5. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or extreme wet conditions for prolonged periods.
