FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from premium nubuck, offering a soft texture and durable finish.
How do I clean the University Gold accents?
The gold accents can typically be wiped gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by performance, these are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for comfort and style in everyday wear. They are not intended for intense athletic activities.
What does 'Retro' mean in the product name?
Retro refers to a reissue or re-release of a classic shoe model, in this case, the Air Jordan 4 from 1989, with updated materials and manufacturing techniques.
How does the Nike Air unit enhance comfort?
The visible Nike Air unit is an air-filled cushioning system located in the sole that absorbs impact and provides a responsive feel underfoot.
What is the typical sizing for these trainers?
These trainers generally follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to consult the specific size chart or try them on if possible for the best fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear nubuck trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions as moisture can damage the material and lead to discoloration or permanent marks.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. For minor tightness, wear the shoes with thicker socks around the house or use a shoe stretcher. Break-in period may be required for nubuck.
Color transfer from nubuck
Protect lighter-colored socks or garments by wearing the shoes in dry conditions initially. Use a nubuck protector spray to help minimize color bleeding.
Squeaking noise from sole
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole if removable, or to the area where the squeak originates.
Difficulty cleaning stains
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaning service.
