FAQs
What makes the "Bred Velvet" edition special?
This edition replaces the traditional leather upper with a luxurious black velvet material, offering a premium feel and a distinct aesthetic while maintaining the iconic 'Bred' color scheme.
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While the Air Jordan 11 silhouette has a performance heritage, the velvet material is delicate and best suited for casual wear and fashion. It is not recommended for rigorous athletic activity, especially in dusty or wet courts.
How should I clean the velvet upper?
Use a soft, dry brush for regular dusting. For stains, a slightly damp white cloth can be used to blot gently. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture to protect the velvet.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is strongly advised against wearing these shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the velvet material and potentially cause color bleeding.
What does 'Women's Exclusive' mean?
This means the shoe was designed and released specifically in sizes tailored for women, ensuring a more accurate and comfortable fit for female wearers.
How do I store these shoes to maintain their condition?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity to prevent damage to the velvet.
What is the significance of the 'Bred' colorway?
The 'Bred' (Black and Red) colorway is iconic in Jordan Brand history, notably worn by Michael Jordan during his 1996 NBA championship run, symbolizing a significant comeback.
Troubleshooting
Velvet appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the velvet with a soft, dry brush in the direction of the nap. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth and blot carefully. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
Color transfer from red sole or accents
This is a characteristic of some dyed materials. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing with light-colored socks or pants. Avoid prolonged contact with moisture.
Scuff marks on velvet
Try to gently brush away minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in delicate materials. Avoid wearing in environments where scuffs are likely.
