FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities?
While Air Jordan sneakers have a heritage in basketball, the Air Jordan 4 RM is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. For intense athletic activities, specialized performance footwear is recommended.
How do I choose the correct size?
These sneakers are listed in UK men's sizing. It's generally recommended to try them on if possible or refer to a size conversion chart if you know your size in US or EU measurements. Leather can stretch slightly with wear.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather offers some protection, it's best to avoid heavy rain as prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather. For light drizzle, a good quality water and stain repellent spray can provide additional protection.
What does 'RM' stand for?
Info needed: The 'RM' designation in some Air Jordan models typically signifies a 'Remastered' or updated version, often with slight changes in materials or construction while maintaining the original silhouette. Specific details might vary by release.
How often should I clean my Air Jordan 4 RMs?
Regular light cleaning after each wear is recommended to remove surface dust. A more thorough cleaning and conditioning should be done every few weeks or months, depending on how often they are worn and the conditions they are exposed to.
Is it normal for leather to crease?
Yes, creasing is a natural characteristic of leather as it flexes during wear. Regular cleaning, conditioning, and using shoe trees when stored can help minimize excessive creasing and maintain the shoe's overall shape.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore its luster and moisture. Repeat every few months.
Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather.
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a specialized leather repair cream or shoe polish in a matching color may help camouflage the mark.
Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or wearing thinner/thicker socks. Over time, leather can stretch slightly to conform to your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Sometimes, squeaking can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole.
