Troubleshooting
Creasing on the patent leather
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure of the toe box and reduce deep creases.
Scuff marks on the glossy surface
Gently wipe with a soft, damp microfiber cloth; do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Yellowing of the outsole over time
Exposure to air and light causes natural oxidation; store in a dark, climate-controlled environment to slow this process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Cap and Gown' shoes remain in pristine condition, avoid wearing them in harsh weather conditions that could damage the leather or ice-blue outsole. For compatibility, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the 11 series typically follows true-to-size standards for adults. To clean, use a soft microfiber cloth with a dedicated leather cleaning solution for the nubuck sections, and a gentle, damp cloth for the patent leather panels. Always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably with shoe trees inserted to maintain the toe box shape and minimize long-term creasing.
