Jordan Retro Appraisal

Air Jordan 4 Retro 'University Blue'

The item is a pair of Air Jordan 4 sneakers, specifically the 'University Blue' colorway. These sneakers feature an upper constructed primarily from a light blue, almost sky-blue, suede or nubuck material, giving them a soft, matte finish. The design incorporates several signature elements of the Jordan 4 silhouette. There are grey speckled accents on parts of the midsole, particularly near the front and rear, indicating a cement print or 'splatter' effect. Black plastic eyelets and wing supports are visible on the sides, providing structural integrity and contrasting with the blue upper. The lacing system utilizes light blue laces that match the dominant color of the upper. A distinctive mesh netting in a matching light blue is present on the side panels and across the tongue, enhancing breathability. The tongue tag is a prominent feature, appearing to be light grey or white with a red tag bearing the number '23' (Michael Jordan's jersey number) and a white Jumpman logo above 'Flight' text in black script. The outsoles appear to be a combination of navy blue and grey, with typical Jordan 4 traction patterns. The overall condition appears to be excellent, suggesting they are new or very lightly worn, with no visible scuffs, tears, or significant creasing. The craftsmanship appears high quality, as is typical of Nike's Jordan Brand, with precise stitching and material alignment. These sneakers likely date to the 2020s, given their release date. They represent a popular and highly sought-after model within the sneaker collector community.
