The Air Jordan 4 Retro 'University Blue' pays homage to the University of North Carolina and Michael Jordan's early career as part of the Spring 2021 collection. It premiered on April 28, 2021 (MSRP $225 USD), with a subsequent restock on July 9, 2021. This release combines AJ4 heritage with premium finishes and court-ready details (including a woven jock tag on the tongue). For fans of classic colorways, UNC-inspired colorways, and AJ4 collectors, this is a solid addition to the rotation. At Aplug, every pair is authenticated and shipped deadstock in its original box .

Lush University Blue suede and cement accents on the TPU pieces define this tonal interpretation of the silhouette. The premium suede upper has a slightly fluffy texture, the mesh side panels are in the same blue, and a speckled gray "cement" detail adorns the heel and "wings." The midsole combines white and gray with a visible Nike Air (Air-Sole) unit in the heel, while black sections under the toe add contrast and practicality. A raised Jumpman in black sits on the heel, while thicker padding inside ensures everyday comfort; this lifestyle sneaker, based on a basketball design, offers enough cushioning and traction for both the street and the occasional game.

UNC blue works best as an accent in neutral outfits, so opt for light denim , gray sweatpants, white tees, and cargo pants in khaki/olive tones. Monochromatic gray outfits or black with a white T-shirt will enhance the upper color and "cement" details. For a better lockdown during everyday wear or a quick basket, thread the laces through the upper "wings" eyelets, and after taking them off, use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the suede. A suede sealer before your first outing and a soft-bristled brush will help keep your shoes in great condition.

What makes the Air Jordan 4 Retro 'University Blue' stand out?

• Premium University Blue suede – a soft, supple material with a refined look, adapts to wear after a few times, and retains its color; it only requires regular impregnation.
• Cemented TPU elements (wings and heel counter) – stabilize the foot during lacing and give it the recognizable AJ4 DNA with a speckled finish.
• Nike Air (Air-Sole) in the heel – point cushioning and elasticity known from retro Jordans increases everyday comfort.
• PU midsole + rubber herringbone outsole – stable platform and reliable grip on various surfaces, including urban use.
• Mesh side panels – improve breathability and reduce weight without losing the classic 4-shoe look.
• Woven jock tag on the tongue – a detail inspired by basketball uniforms adds a collectible character and a sporty context.
• Thicker, soft lining – comfort from day one and good heel support; for wide feet, consider +0.5 sizes.
• Contrasting black sole sections – visual depth and practicality: dirt on the front is less visible.

How to choose the right size for the Air Jordan 4 Retro 'University Blue'?

This model is true to size for most wearers. Due to the thicker lining and suede in the forefoot, those with wider feet or those planning thicker socks should opt for the +0.5 . If you prefer a tight, locked-in fit with firm support, stick with your standard size; the suede will soften slightly after a few outings.
