FAQs
What is the significance of the number 45 on this shoe?
The #45 represents the jersey number Michael Jordan wore upon his return to the NBA, replacing his traditional #23 for this specific retail release.
Is the 2016 version different from previous versions?
Yes, the 2016 retro is considered a more faithful reproduction of the original Player Exclusive (PE) than the previous 2000 and 2009 releases.
Can I wear these for basketball?
While technically a basketball shoe, most collectors reserve this specific model for lifestyle wear due to its historical value and premium construction.
How should I clean the patent leather?
Wipe the patent leather parts with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive brushes that could scratch the gloss.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
Check the UK size label inside the shoe or on the box. It is recommended to try the shoe on with the type of socks you plan to wear most often.
Where was this shoe worn originally?
The original model was worn by Michael Jordan in the 1995 NBA Playoffs and featured prominently in the movie 'Space Jam'.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the patent leather
Use proper-sized shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help the material maintain its form.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a retro performance shoe, ensure you are selecting the correct UK size—such as the UK 10 provided here—for the best fit. To maintain the pristine look of the patent leather, clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the glossy finish. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the translucent outsole. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape of the toe box.
