FAQs

What does "Bred" mean for this shoe?

"Bred" is a portmanteau combining the key colors of the shoe: Black and Red. It signifies the iconic colorway of the Air Jordan 11.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 11 was originally designed for basketball and features performance elements like a carbon fiber shank, the 2019 retro is primarily considered a collector's item and fashion sneaker. For intense modern play, dedicated performance basketball shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the patent leather parts?

Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to wipe away dust and light dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for patent leather. Avoid abrasive materials.

Will the translucent sole yellow over time?

Yes, translucent soles, especially those with a red tint, can naturally yellow over time due to oxidation and exposure to light and air. Proper storage can help mitigate this process.

What makes the Air Jordan 11 "Bred" so special?

It is renowned for its groundbreaking design at the time, featuring patent leather and a carbon fiber plate. This specific colorway is tied to Michael Jordan's triumphant return to basketball and his record-breaking season in 1996.

What size is this guide for?

This specific guide is for the Air Jordan 11 Retro Bred 2019 in a Men's UK Size 13.

Troubleshooting

Patent leather scuffing or creasing

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized patent leather cleaner can be effective. Avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear and storage.

Translucent outsole yellowing

This is a natural aging process for translucent materials. To slow it down, minimize exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Cleaning with a mild soap and water may help with surface discoloration.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
