AIR JORDAN 4 RETRO

• The Air Jordan 4 Retro White Thunder (GS) is a striking new release that pays homage to one of the most iconic colorways in Jordan Brand history. Inspired by the original Black and Yellow Thunder 4s, this grade school version brings a fresh take to the classic design. The upper features a predominantly black nubuck material, providing a sleek and bold look, while white accents create a sharp contrast. The Jumpman logo appears on both the tongue’s flight patch and the heel, ensuring that this sneaker remains true to its roots while introducing a new visual twist.
  The Air Jordan 4 holds a special place in the world of basketball sneakers, originally released in 1989 as the first Jordan model to be released globally. Its unique design elements, such as the plastic wings and mesh netting, set it apart from its predecessors and have made it a fan favorite over the years. The White Thunder colorway continues this legacy by offering a fresh take on the silhouette that captures the essence of the original while adding a modern touch.

1. Regular Cleaning

• Materials Matter: Identify the materials (canvas, leather, suede, etc.) to choose the right cleaning method.
• Brush Off Dirt: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt before it sets in.
• Spot Clean: For stains, use a mild soap solution (like dish soap mixed with water) and a cloth or soft brush.

2. Deep Cleaning

• Machine Wash: If the care label allows, remove laces and insoles, and wash them in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle. Air dry only.
• Hand Wash: For delicate materials, hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap. Rinse carefully.

3. Drying

• Air Dry: Never put sneakers in the dryer. Instead, stuff them with newspaper or a clean cloth to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
• Avoid Direct Heat: Keep them away from radiators or direct sunlight, which can warp or fade materials.

4. Protection

• Waterproofing: Apply a suitable spray to protect against moisture and stains, especially for suede and leather.
• Shoe Trees: Use shoe trees to maintain shape and absorb moisture if you’re storing them for a long time.

5. Storage

• Cool, Dry Place: Store sneakers in a cool, dry area, ideally in their original boxes or on a shoe rack.
• Avoid Piling: Don’t stack shoes directly on top of each other to prevent crushing.

6. Laces and Insoles

• Wash Laces: Regularly remove and wash laces to keep them clean.
• Replace Insoles: Consider replacing worn-out insoles for better comfort and hygiene.

7. Rotation

• Alternate Pairs: Rotate between multiple pairs to reduce wear and tear on any single pair.

8. Minor Repairs

• Fix Loose Soles: Use a strong adhesive to reattach any loose soles or parts.
• Suede Brush: Use a suede brush to restore the nap of suede materials.

Tips:

• Avoid Wearing in Harsh Conditions: Try to keep your sneakers away from mud, heavy rain, or rough terrain.
• Regular Inspections: Check for any signs of wear or damage regularly to address issues early.

By following these tips, you can keep your sneakers looking great for longer!
