FAQs

What is the 'Syracuse' colorway inspired by?

The 'Syracuse' colorway is inspired by the team colors of Syracuse University, one of the original 12 collegiate colorways released by Nike in 1985.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While the Dunk has basketball origins, this retro SP version is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. For serious performance basketball, dedicated athletic shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the leather upper?

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

What size should I get?

The sizing is generally consistent with Nike sizing. It's recommended to consult a Nike size chart or try on a pair if possible for the best fit. This guide is for a UK 10.

What does 'SP' stand for in the product name?

'SP' typically stands for 'Special Project,' indicating a limited or special edition release.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.

What is the material of the overlays?

The overlays are also made of high-quality leather, matching the color scheme of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize, avoid overly tight lacing and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Color transfer from overlays

In rare cases, the orange overlays might transfer color onto lighter socks or materials, especially when wet. Ensure shoes are dry and consider wearing darker socks initially.

Squeaking sound from soles

This can sometimes occur due to moisture. Try drying the shoes thoroughly or applying a small amount of talcum powder between the insole and outsole if accessible.

Stiffness in leather

New leather can be stiff. Wear the shoes regularly for short periods to break them in. Conditioning the leather with a suitable product can also help soften it over time.

Compatibility: The Nike Dunk Low Retro SP 'Syracuse' is designed for general casual wear and is compatible with a wide range of outfits, from streetwear to athleisure.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade the colors.
