FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

The Nike Dunk Low x Harris Tweed is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. While they offer comfort, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like basketball or running.

How do I clean the Harris Tweed wool?

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and light debris. For stains, use a specialized wool cleaner sparingly and blot with a damp cloth. Always test cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain. The wool and suede materials are susceptible to water damage and staining. If they get wet, dry them naturally away from direct heat and treat the suede afterwards.

What does the Harris Tweed Authority seal signify?

The seal signifies that the wool fabric used in the shoe is genuine Harris Tweed, woven by hand in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, adhering to strict quality standards.

How does the sizing run for these shoes?

The Nike Dunk Low generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, if you are between sizes or have wider feet, consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit, especially given the material.

Are there different colorways available?

Yes, the Nike Dunk Low x Harris Tweed collaboration features multiple unique colorways and patterns, including checkered and plaid designs, alongside various earthy tones.

Troubleshooting

Wool material looks matted or dirty.

Gently brush the wool with a soft bristle brush in the direction of the weave. For stubborn dirt, use a wool-specific cleaner and a damp cloth, blotting gently. Avoid vigorous scrubbing.

Suede appears scuffed or stained.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser. If the stain persists, consider a professional shoe cleaning service or a suede cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are dirty.

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Shoe odor develops.

Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing. Use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor. Baking soda or specialized shoe deodorizers can also be used inside the shoes when not in wear.
