FAQs
Is the Air Jordan 11 Bred Velvet suitable for athletic performance?
These are designed primarily for lifestyle wear and fashion. While they offer the comfort and support of the Air Jordan 11, they are not optimized for intense athletic activities.
How should I clean the velvet material?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. Avoid soaking the material and use specialized velvet cleaners sparingly for tougher stains, always testing first.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these in wet conditions as the velvet material can be damaged by excessive moisture and may lead to color transfer.
What is the main difference between this and the original Bred Air Jordan 11?
The primary difference is the upper material; this version features a luxurious black velvet instead of the traditional patent leather and mesh.
How do I store these to keep them in good condition?
Store them in their original box or a protective dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the velvet's texture and color.
Are these true to size?
The Air Jordan 11 generally fits true to size for most wearers, but individual fit can vary. Trying them on is recommended if possible.
What does 'Bred' mean in the context of this shoe?
'Bred' is a portmanteau of 'Black' and 'Red', referring to the iconic color combination of the Air Jordan 11 that this release honors.
Troubleshooting
Velvet material appears matted or flattened
Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush in a consistent direction to restore the pile's texture.
Spotting or staining on the velvet
Attempt to gently dab the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for velvet, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Allow time for natural stretching through wear. You can also try wearing thicker socks around the house to help them mold to your feet.
Color transfer from red accents
Minimize exposure to moisture. If transfer occurs, clean the affected area carefully with a damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Due to the velvet material, avoid harsh cleaning agents. Use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away surface dirt. For tougher spots, a specialized velvet cleaner may be used sparingly.
- Water Resistance: The velvet upper is not inherently waterproof. Avoid exposure to heavy rain or puddles. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect the velvet from dust and potential crushing.
- Maintenance: Regularly brush the velvet pile in a consistent direction to maintain its texture and appearance. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
