FAQs
What does "Bred" mean in the context of these trainers?
"Bred" is a portmanteau of "Black" and "Red," referring to the iconic color combination of the Air Jordan 11.
Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball, the Air Jordan 11 Retro Bred is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear. Its materials and construction are optimized for comfort and style rather than professional athletic performance.
How do I maintain the patent leather on the shoe?
Clean the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could cause scratches. A specialized patent leather cleaner can be used sparingly for a better shine.
What is the significance of the "23" on the heel?
The "23" is Michael Jordan's iconic jersey number, commemorating his legendary career and achievements, particularly his comeback and championship win in 1996 when this model was first released.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet conditions. The leather and patent leather materials can be damaged by excessive moisture, and the translucent outsole may offer reduced traction on wet surfaces.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers with regular care?
With proper care and regular cleaning, these trainers can last for several years, especially if used primarily for casual wear. The quality leather and construction are designed for durability.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on patent leather
Gently buff the area with a clean, soft cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth can help restore shine.
Yellowing of the translucent outsole
Outsole yellowing can occur over time due to oxidation. While it cannot be fully reversed, cleaning with a mild soap and water solution can help maintain its appearance. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Creases in the leather upper
Creases are a natural result of wear. To minimize their appearance, use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape. Avoid over-stuffing the shoes.
