FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the "UNC Home" colorway?

The "UNC Home" colorway is inspired by Michael Jordan's alma mater, the University of North Carolina, featuring colors reminiscent of their athletic teams.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, the "Retro" designation typically means these are best suited for lifestyle wear and casual use rather than high-performance on-court play.

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 6 Retro "UNC Home"?

The shoes are primarily constructed with a combination of premium white leather and University Blue nubuck, with rubber outsoles and TPU accents.

How should I clean the nubuck parts of the shoe?

Nubuck should be cleaned gently with a specialized nubuck brush or eraser to avoid damaging the texture. Avoid using water-based cleaners.

What does "Retro" mean in the product name?

Retro refers to a re-release or updated version of a classic shoe model from a previous year. It aims to replicate the original design with modern manufacturing techniques.

What is the significance of the "jock tag" on the heel?

The jock tag on the heel is a design element that reinforces the shoe's varsity athletics theme, common in apparel associated with university sports teams.

Does this shoe come with a warranty?

Warranty information is typically dependent on the retailer. Brand & Trust Drop Zone, as mentioned, guarantees authenticity but warranty terms should be confirmed at the point of purchase.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to sizing charts if unsure. Break-in period may be necessary for a snug fit.

Creasing on the toe box.

Creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather. To minimize severe creasing, consider using shoe trees or crease protectors when not in use.

Discoloration of white leather.

Clean regularly with a leather cleaner. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive direct sunlight. Use protective sprays.

Nubuck material appears scuffed.

Use a nubuck eraser or a specialized nubuck brush to gently lift and restore the nap of the material.
