FAQs

What is the main inspiration for the University Blue colorway?

The University Blue colorway is inspired by Michael Jordan's time at the University of North Carolina (UNC), resembling the rare Air Jordan 4 UNC PE.

What materials are the Air Jordan 4 Retro University Blue made of?

The primary material for the upper is premium suede, complemented by mesh netting on the quarter panel and tongue, and rubber sole components.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used very carefully. Always allow the suede to air dry.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and cushioning due to the Air unit, they are not intended for rigorous athletic performance like basketball.

What does 'speckled Cement Grey details' refer to?

This refers to the small black speckles integrated into the grey sections of the eyelets, heel tab, and midsole, creating a 'cement' like appearance common in Jordan 4 designs.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly. Ensure there is comfortable space in the toe box and no heel slippage.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as it can damage the material and lead to color transfer. Suede protectant sprays can offer some resistance, but caution is advised.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently use a suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a lightly dampened cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Laces are worn or dirty

Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Replace if they show signs of significant wear or damage.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the Air unit is durable, cushioning may decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear for longevity.

Color transfer from suede

This can occasionally happen, especially when the suede is wet. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a suede protectant spray. Avoid wearing in heavy rain.
