FAQs

What does 'Chaos' and 'Gleichgewicht' mean?

'Chaos' is an English word, and 'Gleichgewicht' is German for 'Balance'. This branding reflects the Undercover motif of embracing the space between two polarizing states.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the 'Chaos - Black' model is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion. For intense athletic activities, specific performance footwear is recommended.

How do I clean the tumbled and smooth leather parts?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher spots, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Ensure to dry the leather thoroughly afterward.

What is the warranty on these Nike trainers?

Nike typically offers a limited warranty on manufacturing defects. Please refer to Nike's official website or your place of purchase for specific warranty details.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather construction is not inherently waterproof. While a water-repellent spray can offer some protection, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage.

How does the 1985 Dunk High silhouette differ from modern Dunks?

The 1985 silhouette typically features a slightly more padded collar, a wider toe box, and a specific paneling construction that gives it a distinct vintage look compared to some of the sleeker, more contemporary Dunk releases.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Normal wear will cause creasing. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Slight color transfer from black leather

This can occur with new leather. Wear with darker socks initially. If significant transfer occurs, a leather protectant spray might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Difficulty lacing due to stiff material

The leather may need a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Gently flex the shoe before wearing.
