Product Information
Full details
The Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Space Jam' 2016 is designed for basketball enthusiasts, sneaker collectors, and fans of iconic sports culture who value a faithful recreation of Michael Jordan's historical footwear. The primary benefit of this model is its commitment to historical accuracy, mirroring the original Player Exclusive design worn during the 1995 NBA Playoffs and the film 'Space Jam.' A notable caveat for potential owners is that this is a collector-grade heritage sneaker, which may require careful rotation and maintenance to preserve its aesthetic appeal and structural condition over time.

Troubleshooting
Yellowing of the translucent outsole
This is a natural oxidation process; minimize exposure to UV light and humidity to slow the yellowing effect.
Creasing in the patent leather
Creasing is a normal characteristic of the material; using an appropriately sized shoe tree after each use can help mitigate deep set-in creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 11s remain in top condition, keep them in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the translucent outsole. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush and a mild soap solution for the fabric upper, and wipe the patent leather sections with a clean, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the luster from the leather or cause discoloration. For long-term storage, use cedar shoe trees to help the sneaker maintain its shape and absorb excess moisture.
