FAQs

Are these suitable for basketball?

While the Air Jordan 11 has basketball roots, this retro GS model is best suited for lifestyle wear and casual comfort rather than high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the grey nubuck material?

Use a suede brush or a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

What is the difference between GS and adult sizes?

GS stands for 'Grade School' and refers to sizes intended for children. While the design is often similar, the sizing scale and fit may differ from adult (Men's) sizes.

How durable is the translucent outsole?

The translucent rubber outsole offers good grip and durability for everyday wear. However, prolonged exposure to harsh elements or aggressive cleaning methods can affect its appearance over time.

Can these be worn in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the nubuck and patent leather materials, and affect the comfort and longevity of the shoe.

What does 'Retro' mean in the product name?

'Retro' indicates that this is a re-release or updated version of a classic Air Jordan shoe model from a previous era.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Wear with thin socks initially, and the materials may stretch slightly with wear. Consider alternative lacing techniques for more room.

Scuff marks on patent leather

Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated patent leather cleaner or a very small amount of toothpaste on a soft cloth, then wipe clean.

Discoloration on translucent sole

Yellowing can occur over time due to oxidation. This is a natural process for translucent rubber. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water may help maintain clarity.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with a similar type and length. Avoid excessive pulling or knotting that can stress the lace material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed primarily as a lifestyle footwear for children, these trainers are compatible with casual wear. They are suitable for daily activities but not recommended for intense athletic training.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks on the nubuck, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and a suede brush. Avoid soaking the material.
  2. Cleaning the Patent Leather: Wipe with a damp cloth. Use a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.
  3. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
  4. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent damage to the materials.
