FAQs

What materials are the Nike Dunk Low Athletic Department trainers made from?

These trainers are constructed with a combination of leather for overlays and suede for panels, offering a premium look and feel.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While they feature a durable design and good traction, they are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For dedicated athletic performance, specialized sports shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the primary colorway of this model?

The primary colorway features a Light Smoke Gray upper with University Blue accents.

How does the sizing run for these trainers?

Nike Dunk Lows generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, it's always advisable to check customer reviews or consult a size chart if unsure.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The leather and suede materials are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are properly dried afterward.

What is the cushioning like in the Nike Dunk Low Athletic Department?

They feature a Light Iron Ore EVA foam midsole and a cushioned insole designed to provide comfort and impact protection for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather or suede

This is a natural occurrence with leather and suede. To minimize creasing, consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid excessive bending of the foot.

Slippery outsole on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole offers good grip, wet surfaces can reduce traction. Exercise caution when walking on wet or slick ground. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.

Discomfort or rubbing

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted properly for a comfortable fit without being too tight.

Color transfer from shoe to socks

This can occasionally happen with new footwear, especially darker colors. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially or to clean the inside of the shoe with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to dry completely before wearing.

  1. Clean the Leather: Wipe down leather sections with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Care for Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner.
  3. Clean the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the rubber and foam components.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning, either by hand or in a garment bag in the washing machine.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Use shoe trees to maintain shape if storing for extended periods.
