FAQs

What material is the Nike Dunk Low Retro White Pure Platinum made of?

The primary material for the upper is genuine leather, with a mesh tongue and lining for breathability.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While comfortable and durable for daily activities, this shoe is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not high-intensity athletic performance.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly and follow product instructions.

What is the fit like?

The fit is generally true to size for most, but it's recommended to consult size charts and consider personal preferences. The low-cut padded collar adds comfort around the ankle.

What does 'Pure Platinum' refer to?

'Pure Platinum' refers to the specific shade of grey used for the accent colors on the Swoosh logos, outsole, and branded heel tabs, contrasting with the white base.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material. Consider a leather protector spray for added resistance.

What is the main difference between this and a high-top Dunk?

The main difference is the silhouette: this is a low-top version, meaning it has a lower cut around the ankle compared to the classic high-top Dunk.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit or discomfort

Wear the shoes with appropriate socks for a few hours each day to allow them to break in. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider trying a half-size up if persistent discomfort occurs.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather-specific cleaner or balm. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape and reduce creasing when not in use.

Slippery outsole on certain surfaces

The rubber cupsole provides traction, but may feel less effective on very wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris. For increased grip on specific surfaces, consider aftermarket sole grips, though this may alter the original design.

Discoloration from water or dirt

Address spills or dirt immediately with a damp cloth. For significant staining, use appropriate leather cleaners. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather as a preventative measure.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Suede/Nubuck Care: If applicable to specific parts (though this model is primarily leather), use a suede brush to remove surface dirt.
  3. Sole Cleaning: Use a damp cloth or a mild soap solution with a brush to clean the rubber sole. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
  4. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild detergent, then air dry.
  5. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect from dust and maintain shape.
