Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede upper

Use a specialized suede brush or a dry eraser specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dirt.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use plastic or wooden shoe trees when the sneakers are not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.

Minor scuffs on the midsole

Clean the area gently with a damp microfiber cloth and a mild soap solution, being careful not to scrub the painted speckled detailing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Air Jordan 4s in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the material's texture. For deep cleaning, use specialized suede cleaning products, avoiding water immersion.
