FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?
While the Air Jordan 14 has basketball heritage, it is primarily marketed as a lifestyle 'Retro' trainer meant for casual, off-court wear.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
This model follows standard UK sizing. If you have worn other Jordan 14 models before, we recommend sticking with the same size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and glue, potentially causing the sole to separate. Always clean by hand.
What is the inspiration behind this specific design?
The design is heavily inspired by the Ferrari automobile, specifically the aerodynamic lines and the tire-like tread patterns on the heel.
Does the red colour fade easily?
To preserve the vibrancy of the red upper, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemical cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not wearing to maintain the original shape and minimize deep creasing.
Scuff marks on the white midsole
Use a magic eraser or a soft cloth dipped in warm soapy water to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Laces becoming loose
Ensure laces are tightened evenly from the bottom up to maintain consistent tension across the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 14 Retros remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dust after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution with a soft-bristle brush, focusing gently on the woven tongue.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the red synthetic or leather components.
- Moisture Protection: If you plan to wear them in damp conditions, consider applying a sneaker-safe water repellent spray to protect the materials.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature standard adult sizing. It is recommended to use the specific UK size 8.5 provided for this model to ensure the intended fit.
