FAQs

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Rookie of the Year"?

These sneakers feature a premium Sail leather upper, complemented by Black overlays, Golden Harvest suede details, and a durable rubber outsole. The iconic Swoosh is in Gym Red, and the tongue features Gym Red Nike Air branding.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 1 Low OG takes inspiration from basketball heritage, it is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For optimal performance in basketball, modern basketball shoes with specialized technology are recommended.

How do I clean the Golden Harvest suede sections?

Suede requires gentle care. Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, a dedicated suede cleaner should be used sparingly, applied to a clean cloth, and then blotted onto the stained area. Always allow to air dry naturally.

Is the Air cushioning noticeable?

Yes, the Air cushioning in the sole provides a comfortable and supportive feel for everyday wear, contributing to the overall comfort of the shoe during casual activities.

What is the significance of the "Rookie of the Year" name?

The "Rookie of the Year" designation pays homage to Michael Jordan's outstanding first season in the NBA. This particular colorway is inspired by a popular 2018 High OG release that celebrated this milestone.

How can I prevent creasing in the toe box?

To minimize creasing, you can use shoe trees when the sneakers are stored. Additionally, wearing crease protectors or shields inside the shoe can help maintain the shape of the toe box during wear.

What size should I get?

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG generally fits true to size. We recommend purchasing your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a size chart if available.

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing in the toe box after wear

Use shoe trees when storing the sneakers to help maintain their original shape. Consider wearing crease protectors inside the shoe during wear.

Suede overlays (Golden Harvest) appear dirty or faded

Gently clean suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying sparingly and blotting.

Sole traction feels diminished

Clean the rubber outsole regularly with a stiff brush and water to remove embedded dirt and debris, which can affect grip. Avoid wearing on excessively oily or slick surfaces.

General dirt and scuffs on the Sail leather upper

Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild sneaker cleaning solution. For scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner may help. Avoid abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the sneakers from their packaging, checking for any imperfections.
  2. Lacing: Adjust the black laces to your preferred tightness. The lacing can be styled in various ways to customize the look.
  3. First Wear: Wear them around the house initially to ensure a comfortable fit. The leather may require a short break-in period.

Compatibility:

  • Apparel: These sneakers pair exceptionally well with casual and streetwear attire, including denim jeans, joggers, shorts, and t-shirts. The multi-color scheme, featuring Sail, Golden Harvest, Black, and Gym Red, allows for versatility in matching with various colors.
  • Occasions: Ideal for casual social events, daily wear, or as a collector's item for display.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For the premium leather and suede, use a soft-bristled brush or specialized sneaker cleaning solution with a damp cloth. Gently wipe down the surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, especially on the suede sections.
  2. Stain Removal: Address spills or dirt spots immediately to prevent permanent staining. Use a mild cleaner and blot gently.
  3. Drying: Always air dry sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to maintain shape and protect from dust and light. Shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the toe box and prevent creasing.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather and suede sneakers to repel water and stains, helping to preserve their pristine condition.
