FAQs

Is the velvet material durable?

The velvet offers a luxurious feel but is generally less durable than leather or synthetic materials. It requires careful handling and specific cleaning methods to maintain its appearance and integrity.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

It is strongly advised against wearing these sneakers in wet conditions. The velvet material can easily absorb moisture, leading to staining, matting, and potential damage to the fabric.

Are these the same as the original "Bred" Air Jordan 11s?

These are an iteration of the classic "Bred" colorway but feature a velvet upper instead of the original patent leather and mesh. They offer a luxurious, textural difference while maintaining the iconic color scheme.

What does "Women's Exclusive" mean?

This means the sneaker was initially released in a range of sizes specifically for women. While the design might appeal to all genders, the sizing and release were targeted towards female consumers.

How do I clean the red outsole?

The red outsole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. A soft brush can help remove dirt from textured areas.

Can I use regular shoe polish on the velvet?

No, regular shoe polish is not suitable for velvet. Use only methods recommended for delicate fabrics like gentle brushing or spot cleaning with a slightly damp cloth.

What is the typical sizing for Air Jordan 11s?

Air Jordan 11s generally run true to size for most people. However, specific fits can vary slightly between models and materials. It's recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Velvet appears matted or loses its texture.

Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap. Avoid applying excessive pressure or moisture.

Scuff marks on the rubber outsole or midsole.

Use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used with caution, avoiding contact with the velvet upper.

Color transfer from red accents to lighter parts of the shoe or socks.

This can occur with new dye. Ensure the shoes are fully dry. If excessive, consider a fabric protector spray (test first) or avoid wearing with very light-colored socks until color transfer is no longer an issue.

Water spots on the velvet.

Allow the shoe to air dry completely. Once dry, gently brush the affected area with a soft brush to restore the velvet's texture. Avoid soaking the material.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Velvet Upper: Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry, lint-free cloth to gently remove dust and surface dirt. For tougher spots, lightly dampen a cloth with water and gently dab the affected area. Avoid excessive moisture, as it can damage the velvet.
  • Cleaning Soles and Midsole: Use a damp cloth or a mild shoe cleaner with a soft brush. For stubborn marks on the midsole, a magic eraser can be used cautiously.
  • Drying: Always air dry footwear. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can cause the velvet to fade or lose its texture.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and prevent crushing. Avoid storing in humid conditions.
  • Protection: Consider using a fabric protector spray specifically designed for velvet or delicate materials to help repel stains and moisture, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
