FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for basketball?

While the Air Jordan 9 has basketball roots, this retro release is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. It may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for competitive basketball.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush or a suede eraser to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, specialized suede cleaners are recommended. Avoid using water on suede.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper features a combination of crisp white leather and flint grey suede overlays.

What does 'Retro' mean in the product name?

'Retro' indicates that this shoe is a re-release or reproduction of an older, classic model, often with updated materials or slight design tweaks.

What sizes are available?

These trainers are available in various adult UK sizes. The specific listing is for UK size 7.5, but other sizes exist within the product line.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are not waterproof. While leather and suede offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to water can damage the materials.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. Use shoe trees if possible.

Suede becoming stiff or matted

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its texture. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture.

Discoloration of blue accents

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean gently with a damp cloth if necessary.
