FAQs
Is the 2016 Space Jam different from the 2009 release?
Yes, the 2016 release is considered a more faithful reproduction of the original Player Exclusive, notably featuring the #45 on the heel.
Can I play basketball in these?
While they are technically basketball trainers, they are now considered collector's items and are best reserved for casual lifestyle wear.
What does the #45 represent?
The #45 was the jersey number Michael Jordan wore during his temporary comeback to the NBA in 1995.
How should I store these to prevent damage?
Store them in a humidity-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent oxidation and material degradation.
What is the primary colour scheme?
The shoe features a classic black and white colourway, reflective of the original design seen in the movie.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the patent leather area
Creasing is a natural result of wear due to the nature of patent leather; use a shoe tree after every wear to help minimize permanent set-in.
Yellowing of the translucent outsole
This is a common oxidation process with translucent rubber; store the shoes in an airtight container with silica gel packets to slow down the oxidation process.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
The Air Jordan 11 has a snug ankle collar; fully loosen the laces down to the eyelets to allow for easier entry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 11s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. When fitting, ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks to account for the internal padding. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the mesh, and a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the patent leather and midsole. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish of the patent leather. For long-term storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause yellowing of the translucent outsole over time. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the toe box.
