The Air Jordan 1 has always fit true to size. I can confidently say that the fit of this sneaker has been the same ever since the eighties as I own a pair of ‘Chicago’ Air Jordan 1’s from 1985 that fit the exact same way as an Air Jordan 1 Retro OG High fits today.

One of the easiest ways to do this, believe it or not, is to make sure you are buying the proper size. Trying them on is the best way to find out, but generally speaking, 1s run a bit narrow. If your foot is wider, go up half a size. If there are two inches of space between your toes and the front of the shoe, size down.
Don’t get us wrong, everybody loves to keep their sneakers as clean as possible. We don’t recommend going and jumping in puddles or participating in a mud run in your 1s. However, one of the best parts of 1s is that you don’t need to put in the maximum effort to make sure they look crisp at all times like a pair of white Air Force 1s. Sure, pulling out the sneaker cleaning kit when you get a gnarly scuff or accidentally end up caking your pair in mud is encouraged, but don’t be afraid of the natural wear and tear. Just wear them.
