Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Royal Reimagined different from the original?
▾
The Royal Reimagined replaces the original's leather upper with smooth black suede while keeping the royal blue overlays. This gives it a softer, more premium look and feel while maintaining the classic 1985 color blocking and design cues.
Does the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Royal Reimagined run true to size?
▾
Yes, this model generally runs true to size. Most wearers find the fit consistent with other Air Jordan 1 High OG releases. It's recommended to size up only if you prefer extra room or wear thick socks.
How should I clean the suede upper?
▾
Use a suede brush or eraser to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid water and harsh chemicals. For tough stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow manufacturer instructions to preserve texture and color.
Is this sneaker suitable for athletic use?
▾
No, it's designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While it has a durable sole, it lacks modern performance cushioning and support systems found in current basketball shoes.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
