FAQs

What material is the Jordan 9 Retro Boot NRG made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from a combination of suede and mesh, with metal loop eyelets.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first and allow the material to air dry.

Is this boot suitable for hiking?

While the gum outsole offers good traction, these boots are designed for casual wear and urban environments, not for rugged hiking trails or extreme outdoor conditions.

When was the Jordan 9 Boot Black Gum first released?

The Jordan 9 Boot Gum first appeared in 2017 and was part of the Jordan Brand Holiday 2021 collection.

What is the main benefit of the gum outsole?

The rugged gum outsole features deep grooves designed to enhance traction and provide increased support on various surfaces.

Are these boots waterproof?

The boots are not explicitly waterproof. While the suede and mesh offer some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended and may damage the materials.

What inspired the design of this boot?

The design draws inspiration from traditional work boots, featuring metal loop eyelets and a rugged outsole, combined with classic Jordan elements.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, test on an inconspicuous area first, and allow to dry completely before brushing.

Reduced traction on the outsole.

Clean the grooves of the gum outsole with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Wear the boots with a pair of quality socks for a few hours each day to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit without being too tight.

Discoloration of suede.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture, which can cause suede to fade or change color. Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
