What is the retail price of the Nike Dunk High Varsity Purple?

How do I best care for the leather upper?
Regularly wipe down the leather with a soft, dry cloth. Use a leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying or cracking.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or dirt on leather
Gently clean with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner.
Discoloration on translucent outsole
Attempt to clean with a mild soap and water solution. For tougher marks, a specialized shoe cleaner or a carefully used magic eraser might help, but test first.
Creasing on the toe box
Creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing. Professional restoration services can sometimes address severe creasing.
Satin laces fraying
Handle laces gently. If fraying occurs, it may be difficult to repair fully. Consider replacing them with similar satin laces or durable alternatives.
