FAQs

What makes the 'University Blue' color special?

The 'University Blue' colorway is inspired by the iconic colors of the University of North Carolina, a significant institution in Michael Jordan's career.

Is the suede material difficult to maintain?

Suede requires more care than smooth leather or synthetic materials. It's best to protect it with a spray and clean it using specialized tools like a suede brush and eraser. Avoid getting them excessively wet.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for comfort and style during everyday activities. While they offer good cushioning, they are not engineered for high-impact athletic performance.

What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?

'GS' stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these shoes are sized for children and young adolescents.

How can I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and compare it with your child's foot measurements. Consider the fit of other Jordan trainers they may own.

What is the significance of the 'jock tag' on the tongue?

The woven jock tag on the tongue is a design element that pays homage to classic Nike basketball jerseys, adding a vintage aesthetic.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede footwear. It can damage the material, color, and structural integrity of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, gently use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the shoes in a dark, cool place. Consider using a color-restoring product for suede if necessary.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Sole feels stiff or uncomfortable

The shoe may need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the midsole to conform to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: Due to the suede material, special care is recommended:

  1. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains before first wear.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water.
