FAQs

Are the Nike Dunk Low 'Syracuse Pale Ivory' suitable for running?

No, these sneakers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle, not for running or high-impact athletic activities. They lack the specific support and cushioning required for such sports.

How do I maintain the leather on these Dunks?

Regularly brush off dirt, wipe with a damp cloth for light cleaning, and use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple. Protectant sprays can also help.

What does the 'Syracuse' theme refer to?

The 'Syracuse' colorway typically refers to the iconic orange and white (or pale ivory in this case) color scheme associated with the Syracuse University sports teams, a nod to Nike's college basketball roots.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and premature wear. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Nike Dunk Lows generally fit true to size for most people. However, if you have wide feet, you might consider trying them on or opting for a slightly larger size. Referencing Nike's official sizing chart is also recommended.

What is the difference between this and other Dunk Low models?

The primary differences usually lie in the colorway, materials used, and specific release collaborations. The 'Syracuse Pale Ivory' is distinguished by its specific orange and pale ivory color blocking and leather construction.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize severe creasing, use shoe trees when not in wear and avoid over-tightening laces.

Scuffs or stains on the leather

Clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Discoloration from prolonged sun exposure

Store the shoes away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading or yellowing. If discoloration occurs, it may be difficult to reverse.

Squeaking sound from soles

This can sometimes happen due to moisture between layers. Try sprinkling baby powder or cornstarch under the insole or between the tongue and the upper.
