FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While the Air Jordan 6 has roots in basketball performance, this 'Retro' edition with its premium suede and detailed accents is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and collecting. We recommend other specialized basketball shoes for intense on-court activity to preserve the condition of these sneakers.

How do I clean the pearl lace charms?

The pearl lace charms can be gently wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents.

Is the sizing true to fit?

Air Jordan 6 models typically run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

Due to the suede upper, it's best to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be damaged by water and may stain. Applying a water-resistant suede protector can offer some defense against light moisture.

What is 'Air Technology' and how does it benefit me?

'Air Technology' refers to Nike's Air-Sole units, which are pockets of pressurized air embedded in the midsole. This technology provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing comfort during walking and standing by reducing impact.

What do 'Pearl' and 'Paris' refer to in the shoe's name?

'Pearl' refers to the elegant pearl-shaped lace charms and the overall refined aesthetic. 'Paris' refers to this edition being a special release celebrating the 2024 Paris Olympics, incorporating metallic gold and specific color accents inspired by the event.

How durable is the suede material?

The suede upper is made from premium material for durability and aesthetics. With proper care, including regular cleaning and protection, it will maintain its quality for a long time. However, suede is generally more delicate than other materials like leather and requires specific attention.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or scuffed.

Gently brush the affected area with a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel less supportive or comfortable over time.

Check the condition of the insoles and laces. Replacing worn insoles can refresh comfort. Ensure laces are tied snugly to provide adequate ankle support.

Translucent sole is yellowing.

This can be a natural aging process. To slow it, regularly clean the sole after wear with mild soap and water. For existing yellowing, specialized sole restoration products might help, but results vary.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply lace them up through the classic eyelets, utilizing the pearl lace charms as desired for a personalized touch. Ensure laces are tied securely for optimal fit and support.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed for adult women and are compatible with a wide range of casual and semi-casual wardrobes. Their aesthetic blends well with streetwear, sporty fashion, and contemporary urban styles.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the premium look and longevity of your Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Pearl' sneakers:

  1. Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to repel water and stains.
  2. Cleaning Suede: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and scuffs. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, applying sparingly and following product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
  3. Translucent Sole: Clean the translucent rubber sole with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush to prevent yellowing and maintain traction.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity and color. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape.
  5. Air-Sole Maintenance: Avoid extreme temperatures or puncturing the Air-Sole units.
