FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Jordan 4 Retro Lakers?

The design is inspired by the iconic Los Angeles Lakers basketball team, featuring their signature colors of imperial purple and gold.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from premium suede, providing a rich texture and look.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Jordan 4 Retro Lakers are primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, best suited for casual wear rather than rigorous athletic activity.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a soft-bristled suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.

What was the original retail price?

The trainers originally retailed for $220.

What sizes are available?

These trainers are available in various adult sizes. The specific size available may vary depending on the retailer and stock.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and affect its appearance. Allow them to dry naturally if they do get wet.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.

Color transfer to socks or other clothing

This can occur with new or dyed suede. Ensure the shoes are fully dry and avoid prolonged contact with light-colored, absorbent materials until the color is set. Using a suede protectant spray might help.

Creasing on the toe box

Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on suede. To minimize it, consider using shoe trees when not in wear and avoid overly tight lacing which can exacerbate pressure points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a pair of trainers, the Jordan 4 Retro Lakers require no electronic setup or software compatibility. They are designed for direct wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Avoid Water: Keep the trainers as dry as possible. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag, to protect the material and shape.
  • Lace Cleaning: Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water.
  • Midsole Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with a little mild soap for the midsole and rubber components.
