FAQs
What makes the Air Jordan 11 Retro Bred significant?
The Air Jordan 11 Retro Bred is significant because it commemorates Michael Jordan's return to basketball and his championship season in 1996. It's considered one of the most iconic and influential sneaker designs ever released.
Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?
While these trainers are inspired by basketball performance, the 2019 retro release is primarily intended for casual wear and collection. Modern basketball shoes offer more advanced performance features.
How do I care for the patent leather parts?
Clean the patent leather regularly with a damp cloth. For a better shine and to remove minor blemishes, use a dedicated patent leather cleaner and a soft polishing cloth.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from a combination of ballistic mesh and premium patent leather overlays.
What does 'Bred' mean in the shoe's name?
'Bred' is a portmanteau of 'Black' and 'Red', referring to the shoe's signature colorway.
How does the sizing run for these trainers?
Generally, the Air Jordan 11 tends to run true to size for most individuals. However, personal preference and foot shape can influence the fit. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult size charts.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, especially the translucent outsole which can become slippery when wet. Prolonged exposure to moisture can also damage the materials.
Troubleshooting
Patent leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the patent leather with a specialized patent leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For scuffs, try a mild abrasive like toothpaste on a cloth, then buff with a patent cleaner.
Translucent outsole has discoloration or dirt buildup.
Gently clean the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be used carefully.
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thicker socks around the house for a short period might help break them in. If significantly tight, consider if they are the right size for your foot.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For the patent leather, a dedicated patent leather cleaner can be used to maintain its shine and prevent dulling.
- Cleaning the Midsole: A magic eraser or a mild cleaning solution on a cloth can help remove scuffs from the white midsole.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the translucent red outsole, a soft brush with a mild soap solution can be effective.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the shoe. Keep them in their original box or a shoe bag to protect from dust.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the materials.
