FAQs
What makes the Air Jordan 11 "Bred Velvet" different from other Jordan 11s?
The primary difference is the use of a plush black velvet material for the upper, replacing the traditional leather or ballistic mesh found on other Air Jordan 11 models. It maintains the iconic "Bred" color scheme.
Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?
No, this is a lifestyle sneaker. While the Jordan 11 silhouette originated as a basketball shoe, the velvet material is not designed for the demands and performance requirements of on-court play. It's intended for casual wear and fashion.
How should I clean the velvet material?
It is recommended to use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for gentle cleaning. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. For tougher stains, consult specialized velvet cleaning guides or products.
Are these a men's or women's release?
This specific iteration, the Air Jordan 11 "Bred Velvet," is a women's exclusive release.
What is the significance of the "Bred" colorway?
The "Bred" (Black and Red) colorway is one of the most iconic and classic color combinations for Air Jordan sneakers, closely associated with Michael Jordan's legendary career, particularly his comeback and fourth NBA championship in 1996.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is strongly advised against wearing these sneakers in wet conditions. The velvet material can be easily stained, water-damaged, and its texture can be negatively affected by moisture.
What is the typical retail price?
The original retail price for this model was $230 USD.
Troubleshooting
Velvet appears matted or flattened.
Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap to restore its texture.
Surface dirt or light scuff marks.
Use a dry, soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and blot gently, then allow to air dry completely.
Color transfer from other fabrics.
This is rare but possible. If it occurs, try cleaning with a specialized fabric cleaner designed for velvet or delicate materials, following product instructions carefully.
Shoe loses shape over time.
Utilize shoe trees when storing the sneakers to help maintain their original form.
