FAQs

Is the Air Jordan 13 Retro suitable for high-intensity basketball?

Yes, it features the original performance traction pattern and supportive design that made it a classic basketball shoe.

Does the leather upper require waterproofing?

While the leather is durable, applying a leather-safe water repellent spray can help protect the surface from light rain and stains.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash these shoes. Clean them by hand using mild soap and a damp cloth to protect the leather.

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find they fit true to standard adult sizing, though the leather upper may feel snug initially before breaking in.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality premium leather.

Is the hologram icon visible in low light?

The hologram is finished in a tonal black, which is subtle and designed to be part of the covert, stealthy look of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Dust collecting on the black surface

Use a soft-bristled brush or a microfiber cloth to gently remove dry dust particles.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Loosen the laces fully from the eyelets to allow the structured leather collar to expand for easier entry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Jordan 13 Retros maintain their 'Cap and Gown' look, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dust buildup in the grain.
  2. Leather Treatment: Periodically apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for black footwear to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the deep-black pigment.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult UK sizing; however, since they feature a structured leather upper, ensure you select your true size to allow for natural break-in during the first few wears.
