FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball or other sports?
While the Nike Dunk Low Retro has basketball heritage and a classic hoops outsole, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. It offers comfort and style for everyday use but is not optimized for modern high-performance athletic activities.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made from premium leather, which is known for its durability and ability to age beautifully over time, developing a soft, worn-in appearance.
How do I clean my Nike Dunk Low Retro?
For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner for athletic shoes can be used. Allow shoes to air dry naturally. Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and water.
Is the cushioning comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Nike Dunk Low Retro features modern foam underfoot and a padded collar, providing lightweight and responsive cushioning that is designed to keep you comfortable throughout the day.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Nike Dunk Low models generally run true to size for most individuals. We recommend purchasing your usual size. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a size chart.
What kind of traction does the outsole provide?
The rubber outsole features a classic hoops pivot circle design, offering durable traction suitable for street wear and casual surfaces. It's built for stability and grip in urban environments.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or worn out prematurely.
The premium leather is designed to age to a soft perfection. To maintain its look, regularly clean with a soft, damp cloth and consider using a leather conditioner specific for sneakers to keep it supple. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insole before replacing it.
Odor develops in the shoes.
Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each use. You can use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Always wear socks to help absorb moisture and reduce odor buildup.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: For general cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for athletic footwear. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Maintaining the White/Hyper Royal Finish: To prevent color transfer or discoloration, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme sunlight.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as these can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Outsole Care: Regularly clean the rubber outsole to remove dirt and debris, which helps maintain traction.
