FAQs

What materials are the Nike Dunk High 1985 'Chaos - Black' made from?

The trainers feature a construction of both smooth and tumbled leather.

What does the 'Chaos' and 'Gleichgewicht' text on the heel represent?

This text symbolizes the Undercover motif of embracing the space between two polarizing states, representing 'Chaos' and 'Balance' (Gleichgewicht in German).

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the 'Chaos - Black' model is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear rather than intense athletic activity. They offer good traction for everyday walking.

How do I clean the different leather textures?

Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For the tumbled leather, ensure a leather cleaner is specifically designed for textured surfaces. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the original release date and retail price?

The Nike Dunk High Undercover Black released in March of 2022 and originally retailed for $150.

Does this shoe come in other colorways?

This specific product variant is the 'Chaos - Black' model. However, the Nike Dunk High 1985 series has seen various colorways and collaborations over time.

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The Dunk High 1985 silhouette generally offers a standard fit. If you have significantly wide feet, it's advisable to check reviews or try them on if possible, as initial wear might feel snug.

Troubleshooting

Sizing concerns

Refer to the size chart and consider that the Dunk High 1985 silhouette may have a slightly snug fit initially. Consult product reviews for specific feedback on sizing.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid bending the shoes excessively during wear.

Scuff marks on leather

For minor scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a matching color polish. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Discoloration

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can cause leather to discolor. Clean regularly with appropriate leather care products.

Care Instructions:

  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or dry.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to shield against water and stains, especially for the tumbled leather sections.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain shape and prevent damage.
