FAQs

What makes the Air Jordan 4 Retro x Union LA 'Guava Ice' unique?

Its uniqueness comes from the collaboration with Union LA, featuring a distinctive 'Guava Ice' colorway with Fusion Red and Brigade Blue accents, and a special foldable nylon tongue.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by a basketball silhouette, this is a special edition collector's item. It is best suited for lifestyle wear and casual use, not high-performance basketball.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be applied sparingly, and always test on a small, hidden area first.

What does 'Guava Ice' refer to?

'Guava Ice' is the primary color name for this specific 'Guava Ice' colorway, describing the pastel pink hue of the shoe.

Are there other colorways or collaborations available?

This specific model is the 'Guava Ice' colorway from the Union LA collaboration. The Jordan 4 silhouette has many other colorways and collaborations released over the years.

What is the material of the tongue?

The tongue features a unique foldable design made of nylon, revealing the 'Air Jordan' logo typically found on the underside.

What sizes are available?

Available sizes vary based on release and retailer. Please check specific product listings for current size availability, which can include adult and potentially kids' sizes.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.

Color transfer from vibrant accents

This is rare but possible with new shoes. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored clothing, especially when wet. Allow shoes to air out before extended wear.

Difficulty with foldable tongue

The foldable tongue may feel stiff initially. Gently flex it back and forth during wear to help it loosen up over time. Avoid forcing it.

Dirt on Guava Ice color panels

Use a damp cloth and mild soap solution for gentle cleaning. For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner for pastel colors might be effective, tested on an inconspicuous area first.
