FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High generally fits true to size for most adults.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While originally designed for the court, modern Dunk Highs are intended primarily for lifestyle use rather than competitive play.
How do I protect the leather?
Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather can help protect against minor spills.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather degradation.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather sneakers; using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep creases.
Difficulty getting the shoes on
Loosen the laces significantly from the bottom eyelets up to allow the ankle collar to open wider.
Staining on the white midsole
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft cloth to gently buff out marks immediately after they appear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather shoes, initial care is vital. To maintain the 'Knicks' colorway, ensure you use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt after each use. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the leather finish and adhesive bonds. If the sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
