FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk Low generally fits true to your standard Nike size.
Can I use these for basketball?
While originally a basketball shoe, this specific retro version is intended for lifestyle and fashion wear rather than modern competitive sports.
How do I prevent the white leather from yellowing?
Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent oxidation.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged in water or worn in heavy rain.
What is the St. John's colorway significance?
It pays homage to the original 1985 Nike College Colors program which featured team-inspired color palettes.
How should I store these when not wearing them?
Store them in a cool area with shoe trees inserted to help retain the original shape of the sneaker.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use and try to avoid extreme kneeling or bending of the toes while walking.
Surface stains on the white leather
Gently clean with a leather-safe sneaker wipe or a soft cloth dampened with water and a tiny amount of mild detergent.
Soles losing traction
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove built-up dust and debris which can make the rubber slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Nike Dunk Low fits true to size for most adults, though it is recommended to ensure you have the correct UK size before purchase as the leather does not stretch significantly. To maintain the appearance of your sneakers, keep them away from direct heat sources which can cause the leather to dry out. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring you wipe away any residue immediately. To minimize creasing, consider using plastic or cedar shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn, which helps the leather maintain its shape.
