FAQs

Are the Air Jordan 4 Retro 'White Cement' suitable for playing basketball?

While originally designed as a basketball shoe, the 'White Cement' reissue is primarily intended as a lifestyle and collector's item. For serious athletic performance, modern basketball shoes are generally recommended to prevent wear and preserve the collectible nature of these sneakers.

How do I maintain the crisp white appearance of the leather?

Regular cleaning is key. Wipe down after each wear with a soft cloth. Use a dedicated sneaker cleaner for deeper stains and consider a protective spray designed for leather and nubuck to repel water and stains.

Does the 'cement' speckling wear off easily?

The speckling is generally durable, but aggressive scrubbing or prolonged exposure to friction can cause it to fade or chip over time. Clean it gently with a soft brush and mild solution.

Are these true to size?

The Air Jordan 4 typically fits true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly by foot shape. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to stick with your usual Air Jordan size or consult specific sizing guides if available.

What does 'OG Specs' mean for these sneakers?

'OG Specs' refers to the original specifications. It means this release is manufactured to be as true as possible to the design, materials, and construction of the first Air Jordan 4 'White Cement' that debuted in 1989, appealing to purists and collectors.

Can I wear these in rainy weather?

While leather offers some resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. Heavy rain can potentially damage the leather and the overall structure, and may lead to discoloration. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to preserve their condition.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or marks appear on the white leather upper.

For light marks, use a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, apply a small amount of specialized white leather cleaner or conditioner with a soft brush or cloth, gently rubbing in circular motions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

The 'cement' speckling appears faded or chipped.

This can happen with wear. For minor issues, carefully use a fine-tipped permanent marker of matching grey, or consult a professional sneaker restorer for more significant damage.

Squeaking sound coming from the shoes when walking.

Often caused by the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder underneath, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, consider replacing the insoles.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Like many leather sneakers, these may require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The leather will soften and conform to your foot over time.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Apply the cleaner with a soft brush or cloth, following product instructions.
  • Cleaning 'Cement' Speckling: Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) with a mild cleaner to gently clean the speckling on the midsole and heel. Avoid aggressive scrubbing to prevent paint chipping.
  • Midsole/Outsole: Clean the rubber midsole and outsole with a brush and mild soap or sneaker cleaner to remove dirt and grime.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing or material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and synthetic materials to offer an extra layer of protection.
