FAQs

Are these boots truly waterproof?

The Air Jordan 9 Retro Boot NRG 'Black Gum' features a water-resistant coating, which offers protection against light moisture and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of thick suede and leather, designed for durability and a premium feel.

How does the gum outsole perform in different conditions?

The rugged gum outsole with deep grooves is designed to enhance traction and support, providing good grip on various surfaces, especially in wet or slippery conditions.

Can these boots be worn in all seasons?

While durable and water-resistant, these boots are best suited for cooler, transitional seasons like autumn and winter due to their construction and materials. They may be too warm for summer wear.

How should I clean the suede parts of the boots?

Use a soft suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.

What inspired the design of this boot?

The design is inspired by the classic Air Jordan 9 sneaker, reinterpreted with elements of traditional work boots, including metal eyelets and a robust outsole.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, spot-clean with a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Ensure the gum outsole is clean and free of debris. The deep grooves are designed for grip, but accumulated dirt can impair their effectiveness. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth.

Water spots visible on suede

Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. The water-resistant coating helps minimize spotting, but heavy saturation may still require care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. These boots pair well with casual wear, including jeans, cargo pants, and outerwear. They are designed for general outdoor use in cooler, potentially wet conditions.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear is recommended. Avoid saturating the suede with water.
  • Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather components with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner and conditioner.
  • Outsole: Clean the gum outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect the materials and maintain shape. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade colors.
