FAQs

How do I protect my suede Air Jordan 6 Retro from water?

It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before your first wear. Reapply this protector periodically according to the product's instructions, especially after cleaning.

Can I wear these sneakers for sports activities?

While the original Air Jordan 6 was a basketball shoe, this retro version with its premium suede and fashion-focused design is best suited for casual wear and fashion purposes. Avoid high-impact sports to preserve the materials.

What materials are used in this Air Jordan 6 Retro?

The upper is primarily crafted from soft suede, complemented by metallic gold detailing, pearl-inspired accents, and glacier blue details. The sole typically features rubber for traction and cushioning.

Are these shoes true to size?

Air Jordan sneakers generally run true to size for most wearers. However, fit can vary slightly. If you are unsure, it is often recommended to try them on or refer to Air Jordan's official sizing guide.

How do I clean the white or light-colored soles?

For rubber soles, a mild soap solution with a soft brush or cloth can be used. For tougher marks, a sneaker cleaning solution specifically designed for soles can be effective. Always wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

What is the significance of the 'Retro' in the name?

The term 'Retro' signifies that this shoe is a re-release of an original Air Jordan model, often with updated materials, colorways, or slight design tweaks, bringing classic styles back to market.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted.

Gently brush the entire suede surface with a dedicated suede brush, always brushing in the same direction to restore the nap and texture. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can help.

Water spots or minor stains on suede.

Allow the shoe to dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently buff the affected area. For persistent spots, a specialized suede cleaner and following its instructions for spot treatment can be effective.

Metallic gold accents losing their shine.

Wipe metallic areas gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust and oils. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.
