FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High 1985 typically fits true to your standard Nike size.
Can I wear these for sports?
While based on a basketball silhouette, these are designed as lifestyle footwear and do not contain modern performance-tech cushioning.
How do I clean the blue denim upper?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild detergent for spot cleaning. Avoid washing machines.
What is the difference between this and a standard Dunk?
The 1985 series specifically replicates the original silhouette, collar height, and shape of the debut 1985 basketball shoe.
Is the denim prone to fading?
Like most dyed denim products, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause minor fading, which is characteristic of the material.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the high-top collar
Loosen the laces significantly from the bottom eyelets up to allow the tongue to expand further.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structure and minimize permanent deep creases.
Surface dirt on the denim
Use a dry, soft brush to gently lift dirt fibers before applying any moisture or cleaning solution.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Iconic, classic high-top aesthetic
- Durable denim upper material
- Versatile colorway fits many casual styles
- Solid construction quality consistent with the 1985 series
Cons
- Denim material can be prone to staining if not treated
- Requires break-in time for maximum comfort
- Limited ventilation compared to mesh-based athletic shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sneakers remain in top condition, start by applying a fabric-safe water and stain repellent spray upon unboxing to protect the denim. When cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher marks, spot-clean gently with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the blue denim dye from fading over time. Because these are built on the 1985 last, they fit true to size, but consider using thin socks for the first few wears to facilitate the break-in process.
