Product Information

Full details

The DC Shoes Court Graffik is an iconic, heritage-inspired trainer designed for adults who prioritize a bold, classic aesthetic and substantial comfort. Featuring a durable black nubuck upper and a distinctive gum sole, it serves as a staple for daily wear; however, its signature extra-padded tongue and collar design result in a bulkier profile that may not suit those seeking a streamlined, minimalist silhouette.

FAQs

Is the Court Graffik suitable for skateboarding?

While it draws inspiration from classic court and skate designs, it is primarily marketed as a lifestyle trainer for casual, everyday wear.

How does the sizing run?

The Court Graffik generally follows standard UK sizing, though the extra padding in the heel may make them feel snug initially.

Can I wash these in a machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and compromise the structural integrity of the internal foam padding. Always spot clean.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality nubuck leather.

Does it have a removable insole?

Yes, most versions feature a standard removable sock liner, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Tongue shifting during walks

Ensure the laces are threaded through the center loop on the mesh tongue to anchor it in place.

Excessive scuffing on the nubuck

Use a nubuck eraser or a dedicated suede/nubuck brush to gently buff out surface scuffs and restore the texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ankle and foot cushioning
  • Durable nubuck construction
  • Classic, recognizable heritage design
  • Good grip provided by the signature tread
  • Enhanced ventilation through mesh and vent holes

Cons

  • Bulkier design profile compared to modern slim trainers
  • Heavier feel due to extra padding
  • Requires break-in time for the padded collar

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your DC Court Graffik trainers maintain their look and feel, follow these guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: Given the substantial internal padding, expect a short break-in period where the foam conforms to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dust from the nubuck. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner safe for nubuck, avoiding harsh detergents that could discolor the material.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or cracking.
  4. Moisture: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the sole and stiffen the leather.
