FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the Air Jordan 6 Retro ‘Red Oreo’?

The design is inspired by the shoes worn by Michael Jordan and specifically nods to the spray-paint styling of the 2010 Air Jordan 6 'Oreo' with its red speckles on a contrasting base.

What materials are used in the construction of this shoe?

The shoe features a combination of white tumbled leather and perforated Durabuck construction, along with a mesh and rubber tongue.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or brand. Since it's a UK size 12, ensure this matches your usual fit or compare with your other Jordan footwear.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

While it is a classic basketball silhouette and offers good cushioning, it's primarily considered a lifestyle and collector's shoe. It's suitable for casual play but may not offer the advanced performance features of modern basketball-specific shoes.

How should I clean the translucent sole?

Use a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. A magic eraser can be used carefully for scuffs, but test on a small area first to avoid damage.

When did the Air Jordan 6 Retro ‘Red Oreo’ release?

This colorway was released in June of 2022.

What does the ‘Red Oreo’ name refer to?

The name refers to the red accents with white speckles on the heel tab and midsole, reminiscent of the original 'Oreo' colorway but with a red twist.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both the insole and the inside of the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Laces loosening quickly

Ensure the laces are tied securely. Consider using a double knot if they continue to loosen. You can also try different lacing techniques for a tighter fit.

Discoloration of translucent sole

Direct sunlight or certain chemicals can cause yellowing. Store the shoes in their box or a dark place when not in use. Minor yellowing might be improved with specialized sole cleaners, but proceed with caution.

Creasing on leather upper

Creasing is a natural part of wear for leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing the shoes. Avoid over-tightening the laces, which can contribute to creasing.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are not designed for highly technical athletic performance beyond general training.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains on leather, use a leather cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Lining: To clean the interior, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the inside is dry before wearing.
  3. Soles: The translucent rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a gentle cleaner. Stubborn scuffs may be removable with a magic eraser, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
