Air Jordan 4 Retro Thunder - Black - UK 12

The Air Jordan 4 'Thunder' colorway originally released in 2006. The 2023 retro is a highly anticipated reissue.

The upper of the Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Thunder' is primarily constructed from premium black nubuck.

The tour yellow accents can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe with a clean, damp cloth afterwards. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

While inspired by basketball, the Air Jordan 4 'Thunder' is best suited for lifestyle wear due to its premium materials and collector status. They offer decent traction but may not provide the advanced performance features of modern basketball shoes.

'Retro' indicates that this is a re-release or re-imagining of an older, classic shoe model, often updated with modern manufacturing techniques while retaining the original design aesthetic.

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or with shoe trees to maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

The primary color combination is black for the upper with striking tour yellow accents on the midsole, eyelets, and tongue.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

Replace laces with new ones of similar color and material. Laces can often be washed separately by hand.

Regular cleaning of the gum rubber outsole will help maintain its appearance. For significant wear, professional restoration might be considered, though typically not cost-effective for sneakers.
