FAQs

When did the Jordan 9 Boot Gum first appear?

The Jordan 9 Boot Gum first appeared in 2017 and made a return as part of the Jordan Brand Holiday 2021 collection.

What materials are used in the upper construction?

The upper is constructed with a thick suede and mesh combination.

What is the benefit of the gum outsole?

The rugged gum outsole features deep grooves that enhance traction and support.

What inspired the design of this boot?

The design draws inspiration from traditional work boots, notably seen in the metal loop eyelets.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a suede eraser for specific marks. Avoid excessive moisture and test cleaning products on a small area first.

What is the release date of this specific iteration?

This Black Gum version of the Jordan 9 Boot NRG was released in November of 2021.

Can these boots be worn in wet weather?

While the rugged outsole provides good traction, the suede upper is not inherently waterproof and may require treatment or care to protect it from excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears stained or dirty

Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently remove marks. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a suede cleaning kit, following the product instructions carefully. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Traction feels reduced

Ensure the grooves on the gum outsole are clear of debris such as mud, pebbles, or dirt. Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clean the outsole thoroughly. If the outsole is worn down significantly, traction may be permanently reduced.

Fit feels too tight or uncomfortable

Break in the boots by wearing them for short periods initially. If the boots remain uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size. The combination of suede and mesh may require some time to mold to the foot.

Care:

  • Outsole: The gum outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt in the grooves, a soft brush can be used.
