FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The Nike Dunk Low is a lifestyle shoe inspired by basketball. While it offers good traction and support for everyday activities, it is not designed for specialized high-performance athletic training.

What is the best way to clean the leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more stubborn marks, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Ensure there is a little room at the toe, but the heel should not slip excessively. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to Nike's sizing chart, as fit can vary slightly.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and ensure they are dried thoroughly afterward.

What does the 'UNLV' colorway refer to?

The 'UNLV' colorway is a nod to the classic basketball team colors of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, featuring a distinctive grey and red combination.

Is this shoe available in other sizes?

The Nike Dunk Low series comes in a wide range of sizes for different age groups, including toddlers, kids, and adults, as well as various colorways. Please check the product listings for specific availability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. Try wearing them around the house for short intervals.

Traction seems poor

Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris. Clean the sole with a brush and water. Ensure the shoe is the correct size, as an ill-fitting shoe can affect grip.

Leather scuffs easily

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a leather conditioner. For persistent marks, consider a colored leather repair product matching the shoe's color.

Laces keep coming undone

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a different material that offers more grip.
