FAQs
What does 'UNC Home' refer to?
'UNC Home' refers to the University of North Carolina, Michael Jordan's alma mater, and this colorway is inspired by their team colors.
Are these suitable for playing basketball?
While they are basketball-inspired trainers, they are primarily designed for casual wear and collecting. For serious basketball performance, modern specialized basketball shoes are recommended.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It's recommended to check the official Air Jordan size chart or try them on in-store if possible, as sizing can differ slightly between models and brands.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, washing machines are not recommended as they can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from white leather with University Blue nubuck underlays.
How do I care for the nubuck parts?
Nubuck should be cleaned with a specialized suede brush or a clean eraser. Avoid using water, as it can stain the material.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Try double-knotting the laces or replacing them with a pair that offers better grip.
Slightly tight fit
Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period, or use a shoe stretcher designed for leather footwear.
Discoloration on white leather
Clean immediately with a sneaker cleaner and a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, use a magic eraser gently.
Scuff marks on nubuck
Use a suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently lift scuff marks. Avoid using water on nubuck areas.
