FAQs
What material is the Air Jordan 6 Retro "University Blue" made of?
The trainers are primarily constructed from premium leather and nubuck, with a perforated nubuck base for added detail and breathability.
How should I clean my Air Jordan 6 Retro "University Blue" trainers?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Use a leather cleaner for leather parts and a soft brush or eraser for nubuck. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While they feature a durable design and supportive elements, they are best suited for casual wear. They are not engineered for high-impact athletic performance.
What does 'Icy Blue outsole' mean?
This refers to the translucent blue rubber outsole, a signature design element of the Air Jordan 6 series, giving it a distinct 'icy' appearance.
How is the fit of the Air Jordan 6 Retro?
The fit is generally considered regular. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult a size chart for the best fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet conditions as the leather and nubuck materials can be damaged and prone to staining or discoloration. Water exposure can also affect the glue adhesion over time.
What is the heritage of the Air Jordan 6 silhouette?
The Air Jordan 6 was originally released in 1991 and was designed by Tinker Hatfield. It was the first Air Jordan model to feature Nike Air cushioning and a translucent outsole, and was famously worn by Michael Jordan when he won his first NBA championship.
Troubleshooting
Color transfer from blue to white materials
Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks if there's a risk of color bleeding, especially in humid conditions. For new shoes, consider a protective spray designed for leather and nubuck.
Icy outsole turning yellow
This is a natural aging process for translucent outsoles. To slow it down, store shoes away from light and heat. Cleaning with specialized sole brighteners can sometimes help restore clarity.
Creases on leather or nubuck
Creasing is normal with wear. To minimize their appearance, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can exacerbate creasing.
