FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High generally fits true to size, though the high-top construction may feel slightly snugger initially.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While based on a basketball silhouette, these are designed as lifestyle shoes; for high-performance sports, consider dedicated basketball footwear.
How do I prevent the white midsole from yellowing?
Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight when not in use and clean the midsole regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Use a damp, lint-free cloth with water, or a leather-safe cleaner for more thorough maintenance.
Does the ankle support help with stability?
Yes, the high-cut collar provides a more locked-in feel compared to low-top trainers, which helps with overall stability.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too stiff out of the box
Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to naturally soften and contour to your foot.
Creasing appears on the toe box after walking
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.
White midsole has scuffs or dirt marks
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft cloth with a mild cleaning solution to gently buff away surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Nike Dunk High trainers involves minimal setup but essential maintenance. Upon first wearing, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to accommodate the high-top fit.
Compatibility: These sneakers are versatile and pair well with casual attire such as jeans, chinos, or athletic joggers.
Care Instructions:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Deep Cleaning: For stubborn marks on the white midsole, use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking and color fading.
- Avoid Moisture: While leather is durable, avoid fully submerging your shoes in water, as this can damage the structural integrity.
