FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High generally fits true to size, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While based on a basketball silhouette, these are primarily designed for casual lifestyle use and lack the advanced technical cushioning found in modern performance court shoes.
How do I best protect the vibrant purple color?
Keep the shoes out of harsh, direct sunlight when not in use to minimize color fading over time.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the construction uses high-quality leather, which provides durability and a premium feel.
How should I store them to avoid damage?
Store them in a breathable shoe bag or original box in a temperature-controlled environment, away from dampness.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Using a shoe tree when not wearing them can help maintain the shape.
Difficulty keeping the white midsole clean
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mixture with a soft brush to scrub the midsole edges periodically.
Stiff leather feel during first wear
Wear the sneakers for short durations at first to allow the leather to soften and conform naturally to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Dunks remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Initial Fit: Ensure laces are loosened fully before sliding your foot in to avoid creasing the leather heel counter.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or damp microfiber cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking and color fading.
- Maintenance: Apply a leather-safe protector spray to repel light rain and stains. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to help them retain their shape while air-drying away from heat sources.
