Description
The Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Year of the Snake marks a refined celebration of the Lunar New Year with a blend of elegance and subtle symbolism. Crafted predominantly in “Summit White” perforated leather, it’s layered with “Photon Dust” silver overlays that add a modern contrast. The signature Swoosh features a ripstop texture that mimics shed snakeskin, providing intricate detailing without overwhelming the clean aesthetic.
An iridescent Wings logo graces the heel, reflecting light much like a snake’s eye, while the midsole is finished in a creamy “Sail” hue paired with a semi-translucent outsole that combines vintage flair and contemporary design touches. Small accents of “Barely Green” contribute a gentle pop of color, enhancing the shoe’s luxurious appeal. A black snakeskin-textured Jumpman hangtag adds a unique collector’s charm.
This sneaker balances heritage storytelling with modern craftsmanship, presenting a versatile piece that resonates with collectors and casual wearers alike in 2025.
Care and Maintenance
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.
