FAQs
Are these Air Jordan 11 Retro Lows suitable for playing basketball?
While the original Air Jordan 11 was a performance basketball shoe, this retro low-top version is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It offers comfort and support for daily activities, but is not optimized for intense, modern-day basketball performance.
How do I best clean the glossy patent leather?
To clean the patent leather, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (like diluted dish soap). Gently wipe the surface to remove dirt and scuffs, then dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes.
What is the purpose of the carbon fibre plate in the sole?
The carbon fibre plate is integrated into the sole for enhanced stability and support. It helps provide torsional rigidity, ensuring your foot remains stable during movement and contributing to the shoe's overall structural integrity.
Do Air Jordan 11 Retro Lows run true to size?
Generally, Air Jordan 11s are considered to run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. If possible, try them on or refer to sizing guides to ensure the best fit for your feet.
Can I wear these sneakers in rainy or wet conditions?
It is generally recommended to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. The ballistic mesh upper and patent leather, while durable, are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to moisture can potentially damage the materials or affect the shoe's appearance over time.
What's the best way to store my Air Jordan 11 Retro Lows?
Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and to minimize the yellowing of the translucent outsole. Using shoe trees is highly recommended to help maintain the shoe's original shape and prevent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Patent leather is creasing or showing wrinkles.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size to minimize pressure points. Use shoe trees when storing the sneakers to help maintain their shape and reduce creasing. Regularly wipe down the patent leather to keep it supple.
Translucent outsole appears dirty or is starting to yellow.
Clean the outsole regularly with a mild soap and a soft brush. For yellowing, there are specialized 'de-yellowing' solutions available, but results can vary. Preventative measures like proper storage away from sunlight are key.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder inside the shoe before replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, check for any loose elements within the sole structure.

These sneakers require no special 'setup' beyond lacing them to your comfort. They are compatible with a wide array of casual apparel, from jeans and shorts to tracksuits and stylish streetwear. To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Air Jordan 11 Retro Lows, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning the Patent Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water). Gently wipe the patent leather to remove dirt and scuffs, then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Ballistic Mesh: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution. Gently scrub the mesh in small sections, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Cleaning the Translucent Outsole: A soft brush and mild soap can be used to clean the sole. For stubborn dirt, a specialized sole cleaner may be effective. Be careful not to scrub too vigorously, which could damage the material.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and yellowing of the translucent sole. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape and prevent creasing in the patent leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a sneaker protector spray designed for various materials to help repel water and stains, especially on the mesh and patent leather.
