FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half-size.
Can I wear these for sports?
While the Nike Dunk was originally a basketball shoe, this version is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear.
How do I prevent the white midsole from yellowing?
Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight for extended periods and clean them regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, these trainers are constructed with high-quality leather for durability and comfort.
What is the best way to clean the purple rubber outsole?
Use warm soapy water and a medium-bristle brush to scrub away dirt, then air dry away from heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use crease protectors inside the shoe and keep the leather conditioned with specialized products to maintain suppleness.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the laces significantly down to the mid-foot area before inserting your foot, then tighten progressively from bottom to top.
Scuff marks on the midsole
Gently scrub the affected white areas with a non-abrasive eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristle brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Dunk Highs remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Leather sneakers may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to contour to your foot shape.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension at the ankle; leaving the top eyelets open provides more flexibility, while lacing to the top offers a secure, locked-in feel.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the purple dye from fading. Use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the toe box.
