Unboxing & First Wear
Upon receiving your Air Jordan 4 Retro 'White Cement', take a moment to inspect the craftsmanship. Try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. The padded collar and classic lacing system are designed for a secure feel. Consider inserting shoe trees or crease protectors from the first wear to help maintain the shoe's original shape and minimize creasing on the toe box.

Product Care & Maintenance
Maintaining the pristine look of your 'White Cement' Jordans requires consistent care:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for leather and apply it with a soft brush or cloth.
- Spot Treatment: Address stains on the white leather immediately. Use a small amount of leather cleaner on a microfiber cloth and gently rub the affected area.
- Midsole Cleaning: The cement grey speckles on the midsole can accumulate dirt. Use a stiff brush (like a toothbrush) with a mild cleaning solution to scrub away grime.
- Protection Sprays: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions.
- Proper Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can help protect them from dust and yellowing. Insert shoe trees when not wearing them to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put your Air Jordan 4s in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
