FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or basketball?

No, while inspired by basketball shoes, the Nike Sportswear Dunk Low Retro SE is designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear. It is not optimized for high-performance athletic activities like running or playing basketball.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains.

What is the best way to clean these sneakers?

For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For spots, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner. Avoid using water excessively or harsh cleaning agents, and never machine wash.

What does 'Retro SE' mean?

'Retro' indicates that the shoe is a reissue of a classic design, updated for modern appeal. 'SE' typically stands for 'Special Edition,' often denoting unique materials, colorways, or design details like the all-suede upper on this model.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Nike Dunk Low models generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary by foot shape. If you are unsure, you might consider trying them on or consulting size charts.

Can I change the laces?

Yes, your sneakers come with two sets of laces for customization. You can easily swap them out, or use other compatible laces to personalize your look.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks flat or dull

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. Brush in one direction, then against the nap, to revive the texture and restore its appearance.

Visible dirt or light stains on suede

Use a suede eraser to gently rub away the dirt or stain. For tougher spots, a damp (not wet) cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner can be used, followed by brushing once dry.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially

The suede upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house before extended use. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight.

Laces frequently come untied

Try a double knot or an alternative lacing technique like the 'surgeon's knot' to secure them better. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath it, and then reinserting it.

Compatibility:

These sneakers are perfectly compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear ensembles. They pair well with:

  • Jeans
  • Chinos
  • Shorts

  • Casual dresses or skirts (for a sporty-chic look)

Avoid pairing them with formal wear or using them for high-intensity sports, as they are designed for lifestyle use.

Care:

Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of the suede upper.

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains. Repeat periodically.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  4. Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape.

Do not machine wash or tumble dry your suede sneakers.
