FAQs

What materials are the Nike Dunk Low 'Smoke Grey Black' made from?

The Nike Dunk Low features a combination of high-quality leather and durable synthetic overlays for its upper construction, paired with a rubber sole.

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball?

While the Nike Dunk Low has strong basketball heritage, this particular model is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. For active basketball play, specialized basketball shoes with advanced cushioning and support are recommended.

How do I clean my Nike Dunk Lows?

To clean, wipe the leather and synthetic parts with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for these materials. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry naturally.

Are Nike Dunk Lows true to size?

Generally, Nike Dunk Lows are considered to fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly per person. It's usually safe to stick with your regular UK shoe size.

What type of closure do these shoes have?

The Nike Dunk Low 'Smoke Grey Black' features a traditional lacing closure, allowing for adjustable and secure fastening.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather and synthetic materials offer some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, it's advisable to use a protective spray or choose waterproof footwear.

What is the MPN for this specific model?

The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) for this model is IB3079-101.

Troubleshooting

Squeaky soles when walking.

New rubber soles can sometimes squeak on certain surfaces. Wearing the shoes regularly helps to break them in. Applying a small amount of baby powder or petroleum jelly along the edges of the sole where it meets the upper can temporarily reduce friction and noise. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Visible creases forming on the toe box or sides.

Creasing is a natural occurrence with leather and synthetic materials, especially in areas of flexion. To minimize severe creasing, use shoe trees when storing your sneakers. Avoid sizing up too much as excess space can lead to more pronounced creasing. You can also carefully iron out minor creases using a damp cloth and low heat (exercise extreme caution).

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

First, ensure your lacing is adjusted correctly; try loosening the laces. The shoes may also need a break-in period to conform to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, consider trying different sock thicknesses. If the issue is persistent and severe, re-evaluate if the size is correct.

Stains or dirt on the leather/synthetic upper.

For light dirt, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe clean. For tougher stains, use a sneaker cleaning solution specifically designed for leather and synthetic materials. Apply gently with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe off excess with a clean, damp cloth. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Upon unboxing your Nike Dunk Lows, simply loosen the laces, insert your foot, and re-tie them to your desired snugness. The standard lacing system allows for easy adjustment to ensure a comfortable and secure fit from the first wear. No complex setup or preparation is required.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile in terms of style compatibility. They pair exceptionally well with a wide range of casual attire, including:

  • Jeans (skinny, straight, relaxed fit)
  • Chinos or cargo pants
  • Shorts (especially denim or athletic styles)
  • Casual skirts or dresses (for a street-style look)

Their 'Smoke Grey Black' color scheme makes them a great match for both bright and muted palettes, suitable for everyday wear, social gatherings, or weekend outings.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Nike Dunk Lows, follow these care tips:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather and synthetic surfaces with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner formulated for leather and synthetic materials. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, gently scrub, and then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  3. Lace Care: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water, then air dry.
  4. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your Nike Dunk Lows, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
