FAQs
What does 'PS' stand for in the shoe name?
In Nike's youth sizing, 'PS' typically stands for 'Preschool', indicating a range of sizes intended for younger children.
How do I ensure I get the right size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the Nike size chart. For Jordan models, sizing can sometimes vary slightly, so checking reviews or trying them on if possible is advisable.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 4 Retro Infrared PS is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It offers good support and cushioning for everyday activities but may not provide the specialized performance features of modern, dedicated athletic shoes.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box is also recommended.
Can the 'infrared' accents fade over time?
Like any colored material exposed to sunlight and wear, the 'infrared' accents may gradually fade. Proper storage and avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can help preserve their vibrancy.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are not waterproof. The nubuck and leather materials are not designed to repel water and can be damaged by excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Dirt or scuffs on nubuck material
Gently use a suede eraser or a dedicated nubuck cleaning brush to lift the dirt. For tougher marks, try a specialized nubuck cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Shoelaces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.
Odor inside the shoe
Remove insoles if possible and air out the shoes thoroughly. Baking soda can be sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors, then vacuumed out.
