Is this shoe suitable for basketball performance?
While the Air Jordan 11 is an iconic basketball shoe, this specific 2021 retro release is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. For performance basketball, dedicated performance basketball shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the translucent outsole?
Use a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. For tougher marks, a soft brush can be used gently. Be aware that discoloration or scuffing can occur with regular wear.
Are there other colorways available for the Air Jordan 11?
Yes, the Air Jordan 11 has been released in numerous colorways over the years, but the 'Cool Grey' is a particularly celebrated and iconic one.
What does 'Durabuck' mean?
Durabuck is a synthetic material developed by Nike that mimics the look and feel of nubuck leather, offering durability and a soft texture.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these in wet weather. The Durabuck material can be stained by water, and the translucent outsole can become slippery. It's best to keep them dry.
Troubleshooting
Yellowing of translucent outsole
This is a natural aging process for translucent materials. While it cannot be fully reversed, cleaning regularly can help slow the process and maintain appearance. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Creasing on patent leather
Minor creasing is normal with wear. To minimize, avoid bending the shoe excessively and store with shoe trees. Deep creases are difficult to remove completely.
Durabuck material looking dirty
Use a dedicated suede or nubuck cleaner and a soft brush. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Work gently to avoid damaging the material.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
