FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like basketball?
While the Air Jordan 4 was originally a performance basketball shoe, this 'Retro' release is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. We do not recommend them for high-performance sports to preserve their condition and avoid potential injury from outdated athletic technology.
How do I clean the visible Nike Air Units?
Wipe the clear plastic of the Nike Air Units with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Is the 'Cave Stone' color permanent, or will it change over time?
The 'Cave Stone' color, like all dyed materials, can experience slight changes over time, especially with prolonged exposure to sunlight or harsh chemicals. Proper care and storage, as outlined in the 'Care Instructions' section, will help maintain its original appearance.
What does 'Retro' mean in the product title?
'Retro' indicates that this shoe is a re-release of an original Air Jordan model, in this case, the Air Jordan 4 from 1989. It features the classic design and materials, sometimes with updated comfort technologies.
Are these shoes true to size?
Air Jordan 4 Retro models generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit preference can vary. If you are unsure, consider trying them on or consulting a size chart if available, keeping in mind the 'adult' age group sizing.
Can I use waterproof spray on the nubuck and leather?
Yes, using a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for nubuck and leather can provide an extra layer of protection against moisture and spills. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks or dirt on nubuck material
Gently brush the affected area with a dedicated nubuck brush to lift dirt. For deeper marks, use a soft, damp cloth with a specialized nubuck cleaner, then brush once dry.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with a small amount of talcum powder, then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is intact.
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, the premium leather and textiles may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Color fading or dullness
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct light. For nubuck, regular brushing can help restore the nap and vibrancy.

- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs on the nubuck and leather, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized nubuck brush for suede areas.
