FAQs

Are these Jordan 4 Retro trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Jordan 4 was originally a basketball shoe, this retro release is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort for daily use but are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like competitive basketball.

How do I clean the nubuck material without damaging it?

For best results, use a specialized nubuck or suede cleaning kit. Gently brush off loose dirt with a nubuck brush. For stains, use a nubuck eraser or a dedicated nubuck cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

What does 'Visible Nike Air Units' mean for comfort?

The Visible Nike Air Units are pockets of pressurized air embedded in the midsole. They are designed to compress and reduce the force of impact, providing cushioning and energy return with each step, which enhances overall comfort for everyday wear.

Are these trainers true to size?

Yes, Jordan 4 Retro trainers typically run true to UK adult male sizing. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.

Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?

The nubuck material is not inherently waterproof and can be susceptible to water damage and staining. It is recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for nubuck can offer some protection against light moisture.

What is the 'Flight' tongue label?

The 'Flight' tongue label is a heritage design element often found on classic Air Jordan models, particularly the Jordan 4. It signifies the shoe's connection to Michael Jordan's iconic 'Flight' era and basketball legacy. Its inclusion on non-OG retros like this 'Cave Stone' model is a rare and appreciated detail for collectors.

Troubleshooting

Nubuck appears matted or dirty.

Use a specialized nubuck brush to restore the nap and remove light surface dirt. For stubborn dirt, use a nubuck eraser or a professional nubuck cleaner following product instructions.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, dusting a little talcum powder or cornstarch inside, and reinserting it. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole, which typically resolves with wear.

Trainers feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to alleviate pressure points. You might also try wearing thinner or thicker socks to optimize fit. Over time, the materials may soften and conform to your foot.

Color fading on certain areas.

Color fading can occur from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh conditions. Store your trainers in a cool, dark place when not in use. Avoid using strong cleaning agents on the colored nubuck or fabric sections.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your Jordan 4 Retro trainers, especially the nubuck material, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning the Nubuck: Use a specialized nubuck cleaning brush or eraser to gently remove surface dirt and scuffs. For deeper stains, a dedicated nubuck cleaner applied with a soft cloth is recommended. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. General Cleaning: For the rubber outsole and speckled midsole, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage materials.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for nubuck and suede to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically.
  4. Drying: If wet, allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials and cause discoloration.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
