Troubleshooting
Nubuck material feels stiff
Wear the shoes regularly to break them in. Gentle flexing can also help soften the material over time.
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure laces are not overly tightened. You can also try replacing the laces with a different material or thickness if preferred.
Soles appear dirty or scuffed
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the soles. For scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes be used carefully on rubber parts.
Color transfer from socks
Ensure socks are colorfast. If color transfer occurs on the interior, use a clean, dry cloth to gently wipe away any residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These sneakers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Compatibility is for personal wear and style. To care for your Jordan Air 4 Retro 'Imperial Purple' sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove surface dirt from the nubuck and synthetic materials. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Suede Care: For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to maintain texture and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Sole Cleaning: Wipe down the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt on the sole can be addressed with a mild soap and water solution, followed by rinsing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape when not in use.
- Avoid Harsh Conditions: It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in wet or muddy conditions, or for activities that could damage the premium materials.
