Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Upon receiving your Nike Dunk Lows, adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns to personalize the look and feel. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement.
Compatibility
- Footwear Type: These are lifestyle sneakers, compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire.
- Sizing: The Nike Dunk Low generally runs true to size, but some find them slightly narrow. If you have wider feet or prefer a roomier fit, considering going up half a size might be beneficial.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather Nike Dunk Lows:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth.
- Spot Treatment: Address stains promptly. For minor scuffs, a white eraser can sometimes lift marks.
- Drying: If wet, allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather. Stuff the shoes with newspaper or shoe trees to help retain their shape during drying.
- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put leather sneakers in a washing machine or dryer, as this will damage the material and construction.
