Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Nigel Sylvester Better With Time

The Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Nigel Sylvester Better With Time represents a unique blend of streetwear culture and worn-in authenticity. Inspired by Nigel Sylvester’s BMX lifestyle, the sneaker features a pre-aged, distressed leather upper that mimics the natural wear of a heavily used pair. The iconic Swoosh is intentionally removed, replaced by subtle design lines that symbolise growth, precision, and repetition—the essence of Sylvester's journey both on and off the bike.

The low-top silhouette comes in a refined black colourway with sail accents on the midsole, offering a vintage yet contemporary aesthetic. Features like the removed Wings logo and outsole marks contribute to the theme of evolution and real-life wear. This pair encapsulates both functional comfort and cultural storytelling, perfect for collectors and streetwear aficionados who appreciate craftsmanship and narrative.

This sneaker stands as a testimony to resilience and progression, echoing Nigel's philosophy that life and style improve better with time.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
