FAQs

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Pearl'?

The upper is primarily crafted from premium suede, complemented by perforated leather details, textile elements, and features a durable rubber outsole.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While originating from a basketball shoe design, the Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Pearl' is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. For competitive basketball, modern performance footwear is typically recommended.

How do I properly clean the suede on these shoes?

For light dirt, use a specialized suede brush. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be applied. It's crucial to avoid water and harsh chemical cleaners on suede to prevent damage. A suede protector spray is also recommended.

Do these Air Jordan 6 Retro shoes run true to size?

Air Jordan trainers generally fit true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the most comfortable and accurate fit.

What is the significance of the 'Pearl' and 'Metallic Gold' details?

The 'Pearl' refers to the distinctive pearled lace charms, while the 'Metallic Gold' accents celebrate the Paris Olympics and pay homage to Michael Jordan's first championship year, adding a premium, celebratory touch to the design.

Is the Air cushioning technology visible in these trainers?

Yes, these trainers prominently feature a visible Air Unit within the midsole, highlighting the iconic cushioning technology and contributing to their renowned comfort and design.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

The Air Jordan 6 Retro has a robust build. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials, especially the padded collar and foam midsole, to break in and adapt to your foot's shape for optimal comfort.

Laces frequently come undone

Ensure you are tying your laces with a secure double knot. While the pearl lace charms add style, a firm knot is essential for keeping laces tied during wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Air Jordan 6 Retro trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up through the eyelets and adjust for a secure, comfortable fit. The unique pearl lace charms can be positioned as desired, adding a personalized touch while helping to keep your laces in place.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They pair exceptionally well with a variety of outfits, from athletic-inspired leisurewear to more fashion-forward ensembles. While inspired by basketball, their construction and materials are optimized for daily comfort and street style rather than high-performance sports.

Care

The premium suede upper requires specific care to maintain its appearance:

Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a soft-bristled suede brush. Gently brush in one direction to lift dirt and restore the nap. For scuffs or light stains, a dedicated suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede, as it can cause permanent damage or discoloration.
Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-repellent spray specifically designed for suede footwear before first wear and periodically thereafter.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the grey suede and metallic accents.
