Description
Released in April 2021, the Jordan 4 Retro University Blue pays tribute to Michael Jordan’s collegiate roots at the University of North Carolina. This edition showcases a premium university blue suede upper combined with Tech Grey and white overlays for contrast and depth. Black accents highlight the heel tab, eyelets, and outsole, while a speckled cement grey pattern adorns parts of the midsole and wings, adding a nostalgic nod to original Air Jordan 4 colourways.
Visible Air-Sole cushioning, mesh panels, and signature “Flight” tongue label retain the classic design elements that made the silhouette iconic. The woven jock tag on the tongue features a subtle nod to UNC basketball jerseys, tying the design to its heritage. Available in men's and grade school sizing, this release balances heritage and modern sneaker performance for everyday wear.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
