FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High fits true to size for most users, though the leather upper may feel snug initially.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While based on a basketball silhouette, these are lifestyle sneakers intended for casual wear, not competitive sports.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Does the ankle support provide enough stability?
Yes, the high-top cut offers significant ankle coverage and stability for general daily activities.
Will the vibrant colors fade?
They are designed to be durable, but avoiding long-term exposure to intense direct sunlight will help maintain the color intensity.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Dunk High has a standard fit; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the initial break-in period longer.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather feel during initial wears
Use a leather conditioner to soften the material and perform short, frequent walks to break them in naturally.
Scuffs on the white midsole
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff out marks on the rubber edge.
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double-knot or a professional lace-locking technique to ensure the tension remains consistent throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Dunk Highs remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush and a mild leather cleaning solution. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant colors from fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect the surface from light stains and moisture.
- Fit: This model is a standard size 9 UK. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks to prevent friction during the initial wear-in process.
