FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Nike Dunk Low Retro Trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear. While they offer comfort and cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact running or athletic performance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Nike sizing chart and compare it with your foot measurements. Many users find they fit true to size, but if you are between sizes or prefer more room, consider sizing up.

How often should I clean my Dunk Lows?

Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down after use can help. A more thorough cleaning is recommended when visible dirt accumulates or before long-term storage.

What does 'Retro' mean in the product name?

'Retro' indicates that these trainers are inspired by or are re-releases of older, classic Nike designs, bringing a vintage aesthetic back into modern fashion.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durable traction and everyday wear. The classic pivot circle pattern is engineered for grip and smooth pivots, contributing to its longevity during regular use.

Can the leather upper be waterproofed?

While you can use specific leather waterproofing sprays, it's advisable to test on an inconspicuous area first. Over-application or incorrect products could alter the leather's appearance or feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with thicker socks around the house to gently stretch the leather. Alternatively, consider using a shoe stretcher for a few days.

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes be caused by the tongue rubbing against the upper or moisture. Try adjusting the lacing or placing a powder (like talc) under the tongue.

Dirt or scuff marks on the leather

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth or brush. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be carefully used on the rubber parts, but avoid the leather.

Laces fraying

Replace the laces with new ones. You can find similar styles at most shoe retailers or online.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and track pants.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the leather and synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the foam midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush with a bit of soap can be used.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
