Air Jordan 9 Retro Boot NRG - Black Gum - Size 10

The boot features a water-resistant coating and a rugged outsole for good traction, making it suitable for light snow and wet conditions. For deep snow or extreme winter conditions, additional waterproofing and appropriate winter footwear might be necessary.

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on a small area first. Protect from excessive moisture.

The Retro Boot NRG version is designed with enhanced durability and weather resistance, featuring a water-resistant coating, a rugged gum outsole with deeper grooves for better traction, metal eyelets, and a gusseted tongue, all inspired by work boot construction.

For comfort and warmth, especially in colder weather, medium to thick wool or thermal blend socks are recommended. Standard athletic socks can also be worn.

The Jordan 9 Boot 'Black Gum' first appeared in 2017 and was re-released as part of the Jordan Brand Holiday 2021 collection, with this specific colorway launching in November 2021.

While they are constructed with durable materials and offer robust protection, they are designed for comfortable wear. Their weight is comparable to other durable boots of a similar style.

Replace with durable work boot laces of a similar length. Metal eyelets help prevent lace abrasion.

Use a suede eraser for light marks and a suede brush for general cleaning. For persistent stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow instructions meticulously. Ensure the suede is dry before brushing.

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth or brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.

While water-resistant, the boot is not fully waterproof. Minor seepage may occur in prolonged heavy downpours. For extreme conditions, consider additional waterproofing sprays specifically designed for suede and leather.
