FAQs
What does 'Next Nature' signify for these Nike Dunks?
'Next Nature' indicates that the shoe is made with at least 50% recycled content by weight, part of Nike's 'Move to Zero' sustainability journey.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
These Dunk Lows are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They provide comfort and durability for daily activities but are not optimized for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.
How do I clean the Volt-colored sockliner?
The sockliner can be gently spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Ensure it is fully dry before wearing the shoes.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from recycled polyester synthetic leather, contributing to the shoe's sustainable profile.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and synthetic upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their appearance and material integrity.
What is the difference between this and the original Dunk Low?
The primary difference is the sustainability focus; the 'Next Nature' version utilizes a significant percentage of recycled materials in its construction compared to the original Dunk Low models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider wearing them around the house with appropriate socks to break them in. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Slight discoloration or marks on recycled materials
This can sometimes occur with recycled materials. Try cleaning gently with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for leather and synthetic materials might be effective.
Laces fraying or wearing out
Replace the laces. New laces can be purchased from most shoe stores or online retailers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These sneakers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: The Nike Dunk Low Next Nature Sail is designed as a women's shoe. While they are generally versatile in terms of styling, their casual nature makes them most compatible with casual attire.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather and recycled synthetic leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth to clean the rubber sole. Ensure all soap residue is wiped away.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a mesh laundry bag. Allow them to air dry completely before re-inserting.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
