FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of premium nubuck, with synthetic and textile accents.
How is the cushioning provided?
Cushioning is provided by a visible Nike Air unit in the sole, offering enhanced comfort.
Are these suitable for running or intense sports?
While comfortable for daily wear, they are not specifically designed for high-impact athletic activities. They are best suited for casual use.
How do I maintain the 'Imperial Purple' color?
Protect the nubuck from moisture and dirt. Use appropriate nubuck cleaning products and avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent fading.
What is the 'herringbone tread' for?
The herringbone tread pattern is designed to provide excellent grip and traction on various surfaces.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions as the nubuck material can be sensitive to moisture and may stain or get damaged.
What does 'Retro' mean in the product name?
'Retro' indicates that this shoe is a re-release or re-imagining of a classic design from Jordan's past, specifically referencing the original Air 4 model.
Troubleshooting
Discoloration of nubuck material
Use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid using water excessively.
Creasing on the leather panels
Creasing is natural with leather over time. To minimize, store the shoes with shoe trees or stuff them with paper when not in use.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the outsole tread with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove embedded dirt and restore traction.
Laces become dirty
Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the nubuck and leather upper with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the midsole and outsole. For stubborn dirt on the rubber sole, a soft brush can be used with mild soap and water. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box, to protect from dust and direct sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Avoidance: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
