FAQs

The design is inspired by Italian sports cars, featuring sleek lines and a premium aesthetic.

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 18 Retro 'Sport Royal'?

The primary upper material is black suede, with a royal blue shroud and a carbon fiber midsole.

Are these trainers suitable for basketball?

While inspired by performance, these are primarily lifestyle trainers. They are best suited for casual wear and light activities, not intense athletic performance.

How do I clean the suede on these trainers?

Use a soft-bristled suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water.

What does 'AA2494-007' refer to?

This is the manufacturer's product number (MPN) for this specific model and colorway.

What is the main color of the trainers?

The main color is black, with significant 'Sport Royal' blue accents on the shroud and midsole.

What is the significance of the shroud?

The royal blue shroud covers the lacing system, contributing to the shoe's streamlined, sports car-inspired design and providing a unique visual element.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.

Color transfer from the blue shroud.

This is uncommon, but if noted, ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If transfer occurs onto clothing, follow standard clothing stain removal procedures.

Fit feels too tight or loose under the shroud.

Loosen the internal laces, adjust for comfort, and then re-secure the shroud. The internal lacing system allows for a customized fit once you find the right tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and eye-catching design inspired by luxury sports cars.
  • Premium black suede material offers a sophisticated look and feel.
  • The royal blue shroud provides a distinct aesthetic and conceals the laces for a cleaner appearance.
  • Carbon fiber midsole accents add a performance-oriented touch.
  • Guaranteed authenticity from an experienced retailer.

Cons

  • Suede material requires careful maintenance to prevent damage and wear.
  • The distinctive design might not appeal to all style preferences.
  • May be considered a collector's item rather than purely a performance shoe.
  • Lacing system is hidden, which could make minor adjustments less immediate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the Air Jordan 18 Retro requires no technical setup. Simply lace them using the internal system, ensuring the royal blue shroud is correctly positioned over the laces.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard UK sizing. They are intended for casual wear and lifestyle purposes.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede Care: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be used sparingly, following product instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can alter the texture and color.
  • Shrouds and Accents: Wipe the royal blue shroud and midsole accents with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight, which can fade colors.
