Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper
Minor creasing is natural with wear. To minimize severe creasing, consider using shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean only with recommended mild cleaning agents and methods.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a dryer sheet inside the shoe where the squeak originates.
Soles becoming dirty
Clean the soles regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and a specialized sole cleaner.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the pristine condition of your Jordan 14 Retro trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the upper, a specialized sneaker cleaner and a soft brush may be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Suede/Nubuck Care: If applicable to specific parts of the shoe, use a suede brush to restore texture and remove dry dirt. Do not use water on suede or nubuck sections.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
- Soles: Clean the soles with a damp cloth or a mixture of mild soap and water. A toothbrush can be used for scrubbing crevices.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
