Protect Your 'Legend Blue' Air Jordan 11s with Reshoevn8r Sole Shields

In the latest episode of Shoe Care Academy, Vick Almighty gets his hands on the 2024 “Legend Blue” Air Jordan 11.

History of the 'Legend Blue' Air Jordan 11

In 1996, Michael Jordan wore the “Columbia” Air Jordan 11 in San Antonio during the All-Star game.This would be the only time MJ wore the colorway, making it a core memory for collectors.
First released in 1996, the pair would release in 2001 as Jordan Brand continued its retro series. The colorway resurfaced in 2014 as “Legend Blue” instead of the original “Columbia.” The backward Jumpman and other changes made it a polarizing colorway compared to the 1996 and 2001 versions.

A decade later, it seems that Jordan Brand got the “Legend Blue” retro right.

Unlike the 2014 pair, this retro is designed to resemble the original 1996 version with its shape, higher-cut patent leather, and signature blue outsole.

How to Protect Your Air Jordan 11

Like most 11s, the outsole of the Jordan 11s ages over time with a yellow tint. In this Shoe Care Academy installment, we’ll show you how to protect the outsole of your “Legend Blue” 11s with the Reshoevn8r Sole Shields.

To properly apply Sole Shields, you’ll need the Sole Shields, scissors, a pen, alcohol pads, and a heat gun.

First, you’ll use the alcohol pads to wipe down the soles. Even though they’re brand new, we still want to get any dirt, dust, or oil on the outsole that could potentially mess with the adhesion of the Sole Shields.

After the soles are prepped, grab a sheet with the paper side facing upwards and place the shoe right over it. Then, grab the pen and trace the outsole. Be sure not to get the pen marks on the outsole because they might not come off. Repeat the process for the other shoe.

Once both outsoles are traced, cut alongside the lines.

Peel the Sole Shield and apply it to the pair. We recommend starting at the heel and working your way to the toe area. Pat down the Shield to ensure it’s on securely. Repeat the process for the other shoe.

You’ll need a heat gun to put the Sole Shields on properly. Be sure to apply heat only to the outsole, as you don’t want to cause separation or warping to any other part of the sneaker. After applying heat, press alongside all the edges. We recommend repeating the process on each shoe 2-3 times.

If there’s any excess Sole Shield on a part of the shoe, cut it off with a blade.
And that’s how you apply Reshoevn8r Sole Shields to protect your  2024 “Legend Blue” Air Jordan 11s properly.
