FAQs

Are these boots truly waterproof?

The boots feature a water-resistant coating, which provides protection against moisture for casual wear in wet conditions. They are not designed for submersion in water.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of black suede, with a black leather mudguard for added durability and style.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart and consider that boot-style sneakers may fit differently than standard sneakers. Checking reviews for fit feedback can also be helpful.

Can I wear these in heavy snow?

The rugged gum rubber outsole provides good traction, and the water-resistant features offer some protection. However, for heavy snow and extreme winter conditions, further waterproofing and insulation may be desired.

How should I clean the gum rubber sole?

The gum rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry after cleaning.

What is the benefit of the gusseted tongue?

A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the boot, helping to keep out debris, water, and dirt, thereby enhancing protection and comfort.

What is the main difference between this boot and a regular Air Jordan 9?

The Retro Boot NRG version features a more robust construction, water-resistant materials, and a rugged outsole designed for colder, wetter weather, while retaining the iconic silhouette of the Air Jordan 9.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly and brush gently. Allow to dry completely.

Reduced water resistance over time

Consider reapplying a quality waterproofing spray specifically designed for suede and leather. Ensure the boots are clean and dry before application.

Laces wear out

Replace laces with standard boot or sneaker laces of a similar length. Metal-tipped laces can offer added durability.

Gum sole becoming sticky

Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is thoroughly dried. Avoid exposure to excessive heat.
