FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High generally fits true to size, though the high-top construction may feel more snug compared to low-top versions.
Can I use these for playing professional basketball?
While based on a basketball silhouette, these are intended for lifestyle and fashion use rather than modern competitive performance basketball.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from soft leather with a breathable nylon tongue.
How do I prevent creasing on the toe box?
While creasing is natural for leather shoes, using a plastic crease protector inside the toe box can help minimize deep lines.
Is the outsole non-marking?
The rubber outsole is durable and generally suitable for indoor surfaces, but performance may vary based on floor material.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the standard insoles in the Nike Dunk High can usually be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top of the foot
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets and adjust the tongue for a more relaxed fit.
Scuff marks appearing on the white midsole
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner to gently buff away the marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Dunk High trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines.
Breaking In: The leather upper is initially firm. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape before extended outdoor use.
Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains on the leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes, as excessive moisture can damage the leather finish and glue bonds.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant purple and amber colors from fading. Use shoe trees or crumpled paper to help the silhouette maintain its structure when not being worn.
