What qualifies a sneaker as "retro" in the KM grid?

Retro at KM means silhouettes with original releases in the 1980s and 1990s now in reissue or OG form. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High, Air Jordan 3 Retro, Asics Gel-NYC, and New Balance 550 all fit this definition. Pairs with the word "Retro" in their product name are explicit reissues; others like the Asics Gel-NYC are heritage-era silhouettes brought back in updated colourways.

How do the Jordan 1 Retro High OG pairs at KM differ from Jordan 1 Mid or Low?

The Jordan 1 Retro High OG is a reissue of the original 1985 high-top cut with the ankle collar, padded tongue, and heel logo. The Mid is a shorter cut designed for casual wear without the full collar height. The Low drops the collar entirely. All three are on KM; this retro grid includes primarily the High OG and select Low OG pairs.

Is the New Balance 550 considered retro and why is it popular in India?

The NB 550 is a reissue of a 1989 basketball low-top that gained mainstream traction after a 2020 collab series. Its clean paneling and versatile colorways like White Dusty Blue make it an easy fit with both casual and smart outfits. It sizes true to UK and is one of the more accessible retro silhouettes in the KM grid.
