FAQs
Are these Nike Dunks true to size?
Yes, this model follows standard Nike sizing for UK adults; we recommend purchasing your usual size.
Can I wear these for playing basketball?
While based on basketball silhouettes, these are primarily lifestyle trainers and do not feature the advanced performance cushioning found in modern professional basketball shoes.
How do I prevent the purple overlays from fading?
Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight for extended periods and store them in a dark closet.
What materials are used in this shoe?
The upper is crafted from high-quality leather, featuring a mesh tongue and internal fabric lining for added comfort.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for indoor and outdoor use without leaving scuffs on typical flooring.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a breathable shoe box or on a rack, ideally with cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain form.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuffs on the white midsole
Apply a mild sneaker cleaning solution with a soft cloth or a specialized magic eraser sponge to buff out scuffs.
Laces becoming undone
Ensure the laces are tied with a secure double knot or tucked into the sides for a cleaner, more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Dunk High trainers maintain their appearance, regular care is essential. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the leather after each wear. If the white midsole becomes scuffed, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap is usually sufficient. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives. For long-term storage, keep the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the purple panels. As these are UK size 9, they are designed for a standard adult fit; if you prefer a looser feel, consider wearing thinner performance socks.
