What does the 'University Blue' colorway represent?

The 'University Blue' colorway is inspired by Michael Jordan's alma mater, the University of North Carolina (UNC), drawing from rare Air Jordan 4 UNC PE (Player Exclusive) models.

This particular iteration, the Air Jordan 4 Retro 'University Blue,' was originally released in April 2021.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a soft suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting the suede wet.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.

Color fading from sun exposure.

Store the shoes in their original box or a dark, cool place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
