FAQs

What makes the DBreak 'vintage'?

The 'vintage' designation refers to the design inspired by classic Nike running shoes from the 1970s and 1980s, including the iconic waffle sole and silhouette.

Are these suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the DBreak is best suited for casual wear and everyday activities. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious athletic running.

How should I clean the gold leather?

Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For any dirt, use a mild soap diluted in water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

How do I know if the UK 8 size will fit?

Nike sizing can sometimes vary. It is recommended to compare with your usual sneaker size or check Nike's official size guide. As these are vintage-inspired, some users find them to fit slightly differently than modern Nike models.

Can I wear these in rainy weather?

The leather can withstand light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.

What other colors are available in the DBreak series?

The DBreak series often features a variety of colorways. This specific model is in Gold, but other related models might be available in different colors like Brown or other shades.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in leather

This is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces

The waffle sole is best on dry to moderately damp surfaces. Exercise caution on very slick or wet conditions.

Discomfort due to lack of arch support

Consider using aftermarket insoles or orthotics designed for casual shoes to add extra support.
