FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the Air Jordan 18 Retro?

The Air Jordan 18 Retro is inspired by the design and performance aspects of Italian sports cars, emphasizing sleek lines and engineering.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from black suede, offering a premium and textured finish.

How do I clean the royal blue shroud?

Wipe the shroud gently with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water.

Is this shoe suitable for basketball performance?

While inspired by a basketball icon, this retro release is primarily intended for lifestyle wear and casual use due to its design focus and materials.

What does 'Sport Royal' refer to?

'Sport Royal' refers to the vibrant royal blue color used on the shroud, midsole, and outsole accents of this particular Air Jordan 18 Retro model.

When were these sneakers originally released?

This specific 'Black Sport Royal' colorway of the Air Jordan 18 Retro was released in October 2018.

How does the shroud affect the fit?

The shroud covers the lacing system, providing a clean look. It generally offers a secure fit, but individuals with very wide feet might need to ensure laces are adjusted for comfort beneath it.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to adjust under the shroud.

Gently pull the laces from the sides of the shroud to loosen them, then re-tighten to your desired fit. Ensure the laces are not bunched up underneath.

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, apply a suede eraser or a specific suede cleaning solution as per product instructions.

Sole feels stiff initially.

This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The carbon fiber midsole will adapt to your foot's natural movement.
